We are hoping to arrange a day trip over to France around late May/Early June time. The main purpose if this Continental MINI Adventure is to get some cheap Booze and Cigs, but there is no reason why we cant pull a few crouds whilst we're at it!

If anyone is interested, please reply to this thread. Then, as long as we get a few people interested,we will sort some more details out for you.

Yeah, we were talking about this at Goodwood... anyone else up for a cruise round France for a day??

groovy_jr · Apr 7th, 2002, 06:23 PM

I am going to France with a mate on either the 7th or 14th of June for the weekend.....if anyone want to meet up on the way down to Calais or whatever I will be quite happy to cruise in a convoy!

Ofcourse I shall have my MINI Cooper by then and it will be fully driven in!

Red Cooper and I have already planned a mini MINI European tour, stopping at Dunkerque for the night of 03 Jun before driving back to UK on 04 Jun (20:30 CET SeaCat departure). So we have practically a whole day in Dunkerque and surrounding area. Hope you can join us.

I am always interested in visiting France (and Belgium), so please count me in for future France/Belgium-related events.

Come on people, there must be more interest than this. It would be a great day out.

smiffy · Apr 14th, 2002, 08:21 AM

Hi Minty,

To cut a long story short, someone managed to hack my account and use it to post lots of disreputable stuff all over the site from what I can gather.

So rightly so my account was banned. It shocked me when I saw it under my name - whoever the **** was who hacked it was a total sad to**er and didn't actually 'hack' anything, they just got lucky when trying passwords with usernames.

So I've learnt my lesson not to use anything too obvious!

I'm sure Paul can shed a little more light on the subject if required.

P.S.

My girlfriend and I are planning a trip over to France on around the beginning of June (jube w/e), currently thinking of leaving around the 3rd, and travelling down south over a day or two.

So to be honest, we probably won't be able to make any other French trips which are being planned, but just thought I'd post the dates and if anyone else was around it would be more fun to cross the channel/drive in convoy etc.

All the best,

Jon

Minty · Apr 22nd, 2002, 08:56 AM

Hi, just to let you know (now people have started showing an interest.

) that myself and miss mini, will be unable to make it around that date. So we will pospone it for a few months. And will post our plans ith a definate date closer to the time.

After the huge success of the Peaks run, I am sure there would be many takers for this. Me for one!

Cheers
