So, the French cuckoo ( s tubborn bird that won't let go of a good idea) and I, the royal we, were discussing a Euro Z event.
I then spoke to the flying pink pig and it was agreed that perhaps 'Billing' could (and should?) evolve into something new. Circuits cost big money, auto-tests ca'nt always be held at campsites, security, noise, damage etc but our cars were made an and kept in the condition to DRIVE! Where can you appreciate them most now with your overcrowded roads, even on Sundays and speed cameras on every country lane and petrol at how much a litre - 85p, more?
What if there was a Euro run every year or every second year, alternating between the UK (you do have the largest concentration of Zs) and a continental country?
I'm talking about France, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, maybe Sweden.
I know our roads are great, uncrowded and petrol costs less than 70p per litre and sometimes even the sun shines!
Accomodation and food doesn't have to be expensive either.
See some sites, make new friends, in short breathe and let your car do the same!
If the States can put on big events for people coming from all over their country, why can't we? Yes, there have been International events been held, notably by the Germans, Swiss and Dutch, but I'm talking about something bigger, more complete, involving convoys of cars arriving from all over - can you picture it? Were you at Billing this year and felt the pride when seeing Jap car after car arrive when you thought the area was already full!
This can happen.
