Weather forecast

Those who want a "real" Monte will be delighted! The weather forecast already gives snow in Reims for Friday night ... snow in Briançon as well, of course and rain in Sospel for the last night. Would that mean snow at the top of the Turini?
OK weather forecasts are never very accurate but I think we'll gonna take our snowchains in the car, you'll never know. Much more real conditions that the ones of the "real" Monte, although with so few cars, is it still that one that is the real one?

Thanks for the translation!

For those who don't read French, look at Gary's comment to the previous blog entry, you'll have a full translation of the article on the Monte.

We are so proud ...

To be mentioned in the same article as Vic Elford, winner of the 1968 edition the Rallye Monte Carlo and who will participate this year with the same navigator David Stone! Thanks to Carchannel and Etienne Visart.

The 60 anniversary of the Porsche 356

Yesterday evening Pat was invited, together with the Classic Club, to the Porsche stand at the European Motor Show in Brussels. Very pleasant evening and a new challenge to meet: the Porsche 356 is turning 60 this year! We'll do our best to wish it a very happy anniversary!

Time for more regular contacts

In a little bit more than 2 weeks, we'll start for Reims but in exactly two weeks Anna will already be flying to Brussels to that we can have a look together at the preparations we both made.
In the meanwhile, the e-mails and phone calls get more regular.
We received yesterday from the Association Reims - Champagne Véhicules Historiques Sportives our hour to present us and the car at scruteneering: 11h40 which means that we will be able to enjoy a long night and a late breakfast before driving a full night the day after!
The programme for Friday the 1st of January is:

• 11h40: scruteneering in the Parc des Expos in Reims,
• 16h20: convoy to the Town Hall,
• 18h00: cocktail offered by the Mayor,
• 19h00: start of the first car.

We will start around 20h00.
If you want to come and join us before the start, don't hesitate!
