Alex ( co pilot of Michel ) has to do 3 rally events for rally licencing. Most important, "finish" three rally events. Meaning Michel can not drive on the edge this year cause whatever happens they have to finish three events.
One of these rally events, ELE Rally is at the same weekend Classic Ford Show is.
Alex and Michel are trying to do as much events as possible hoping they will count officialy. They just had their first yesterday but I am not sure if it counts.
If they can manage they will go to the Classic Ford show. But ALex his licensing has priority as Michel is building a GP4 BGD Escort mk2 to compete with next year.
We had an issue with pets to look after that weekend.. Not many we trust with doing that. In the pic I am holding two..
We, JP & Linda might have a small change to go. If we can we sure be there.
"If" we go, we might go in a rental van and not a Ford Capri.
We have a GT40 project going on and like to combine the trip with getting essential parts from GT40 supliers in the UK.
Our '73 Ford F250 is running a bucket to the mile with the new updated engine and might not be big enough to safely haul the tanks, glass windows, rollcage and so on + campstuff so I am thinking to rent a diesel van for a long weekend and collect the parts and do Classic Ford Show.
That might aswell not be a Ford van, so it will be camping only and no standpass.
Guess those modern diesel vans run cheap on fuel compared to an old fasion heavy weight 6,7litre V8.which consumes 1litre of lpg or petrol every 1.8 miles.... Its still about 1200+ miles to go... in all our plans.
If we can make it, which we sure like to, we will be there!!
