I have to admit that took me a few laps watching for it to click

Interesting cars- engine is brand new design and unusually a petrol 2 litre turbo straight 6. Has been giving problems in testing apparantly. Not expected to last the distance this weekend but looked and sounded good at Monza!

Would that be "a propos nothing at all" Peter? French. Means regarding I think. If we're having a pedant moment.

BTW sorry I didn't put the accent on Comte, I don't know how to do it!

Do you need to take the Galaxie? Could someone else take it and you, if necessary, meet them at Goodwood on the way back from the Ferry?

Looks like you will have over 400 miles to do depending on exact route and ferry leaves Santander at 1500hrs monday. Presume you aren't taking any GD cars, so as WSM is first race sunday and FJ over by 1400hrs it can be done........ I guess other trucks will be pushing to get that ferry as well, so you won't be alone!

That was my thought and the reason why I asked the question. Porto is great but the logistics are a nightmare unless you combine it with a summer holiday.

On a serious note, it seems to me that we are all busy people. Losing two or thee days may not be an option. However if we were to arrange a joint trip whereby the cars and tools were transported as a group rather than by individuals then these jaunts may be more practical. Roger W alluded to something similar in another thread.

Just a thought.
