Well 'The Mints' are back home safe & sound as well:D. 1,126 miles in total and apart from a few they were all great. Huge thanks must go to Paul @pgunter for arranging to hook up with the Dutch crew on their Limborit 2016. Also for the trip to Spa, with a tour and two laps of the circuit a definite personal highlight for me. Even the rain didn't dampen everyone's spirits especially as it just about stopped for the laps. Thank you to everyone on the trip, we all have lasting memories of a fantastic time. All the cars (as far as I know) behaved impeccably so not bad for some old motors;). I have already thanked Roger, @DutchScorpion earlier in the thread but I will do again here. Thanks for making us all so welcome.

Now, about the last night's antics....the beers, pizza and company were excellent:thumbsup:. We'll have to do it again, soon:whistle:
Photos later when we've recovered;)

A few words from Jacqueline and myself.
We had a fantastic weekend, the Limborit went very nice, no problems at all.
The extra dimension of the british participation was great, you are all lovely people.
The communication with Paul during the last months came all together in these 2 days.
Special thnx to Paul ofcourse for making this happen, the Monday at Spa was a big bonus, one to remember for a long time. This asks for more, we love to visit GB with the Zzz some day. We keep in touch!

Love & Kisses
Roger & Jacqueline

OK my turn. Firstly a huge apology from myself and Jue for missing our goodbyes. We got split early on the run back to Calais but assumed we'd see everyone at the tunnel. We never even got a chance to get out of the car. Straight through customs and straight onto the train.

Right what can I add. AWSOME!!! What a superb time we've had! The company, the driving, the cars, Spa, everything. Brilliant to hook up with the Dutch, meeting @hard top and @Zeti just added to the fun even more.
Special thanks to a few folks for there hard work and organisation. @DutchScorpion, your a lovely man and I shake your hand sir. Jacqueline your lovely but it takes forever to do three kisses everytime we meet up, could we reduce it to one or two lol!!!
Mr @pgunter, thank you for Spa! You truly made @jue1 and my day! Such a highlight for us and it will be remembered for a very long time. Already looking for the next one. @Mint and @Mrs Mint, thank you for buddying up with us for the duration. Hope we didn't get on your nerves to much! @Lee and @Shortie_gal. Was lovely spending time with you both and getting to know better. Last night was a blast, I rarely laugh out loud and god I laughed bucket loads!! @Mr C and Mary, @mwpe, @bessieblue @MAURICE THE MARTIAN @billz @Jack Ratt @zedwheels, @miller1098 it's been a pleasure to spend time with you all. (I hope I've remembered everyone, sorry if I havent) :nailbiting:
But the biggest thank you has to go tho @Reggie! He behaved impeccably for the whole cruise. 1195 miles and £200 of petrol and bless him he never missed a beat. He has earned his stripes back and will now get a fresh MOT and an oil and filter!
I will be buzzing for weeks after this one and have already put us down for next year. Those that couldn't attend this year, get your names down, it's great! :thumbsup:
Ooooh nearly forgot! Thanks @t-tony for the seat lifter. An hour or two and I used to get crippling back pain. I've just driven 5 hard days and not a twitch. I'd like one for the passenger seat if you've any left mate. Jues back is shot to pieces. Not saying it's all the seat position but may have been a factor.

I wanted to leave a message of thanks H/T but it's all double Dutch to me lol!! Joking part tho I can't work it out at all.
Google translate will do that for you Dave, hence HT becoming a "kutje" the other day!;)
