How about a club sweep-stake to fund an official RAOC car for next year.
I think Lee would be up for it & I know Andy would.

........ an Alpine Eurohoon but starting in the UK straight over to the continent and tour around race circuits around europe with a day at each one, number of circuits TBA, a large support vehicle in tow also for obvious reasons :? ending in Monaco with a large party! then a race back to the UK with a prize for the fastest car arriving back in the UK! just a small Idea......any takers.... :twisted:

sorry but £40K entry fee for a blat around wherever...... don't think so :shock: i'd rather hire a circuit buy a missile and drive it to destruction oh and leave enough cash in the pot to get comatosed on Dom Perignon vintage :lol:

I don't understand these guys.
If you want to hoon across europe, Do it...
Don't give someone else 20k plus to arrange it.
Look on a map, spend a couple of hours on the internet and ask the boss for the time off, and do it.
