Thats an excuse not a answer

Well I could understand that for the Uk-ers Switzerland maybe a bit far

but that's just an excuse

So at least next year there should be a lot more Uk-ers

The people from the UK don't have to swim

there is a ferry and a tunnel......
Howmany times did we go to the UK for a meeting with the classic.....a lot of times.

Afraid for driving on the other site of the road ?

i for one would be interested in principle in attending such an international meet. but when you work out the logisitics and costs it proves too expensive in my book. i just couldnt substantiate the cost of going on my own.

i dont think its a case of the UK MINI owners not caring about international events, its just outside of what they consider financially sensible. whereas a few will go, im not in anyway condoning those that do go.

dcfkan · Feb 16th, 2004, 02:05 PM

I guess I am lucky in the sense that I can afford to attend these meets. Having no kids and a very generous husband certainly helps

As for the cost, if one books in advance, like Ray and I did with Eurotunnel, we saved 50% on the tunnel crossing. As for hotels, we are only going to stay with budget 2 star establishments, and petrol is cheaper over there. So apart from the Channel crossing, it should work out less expensive than a few days holidaying in the UK IMHO.

Each to their own at the end of the day

Think I have stirred something up here

I would hazard a guess that a long weekend abroad costs less than a similar long weekend in the UK

One night in Holiday Inn High Wycombe £ 58.00

One night Ibis Hotel Nancy (France) 49.00 euro ( about £35.00)

Another asnwer is that there is no race track

oops there I go again stirring
