Didn't think about taking that route, saves me booking two ferries. 1000 miles but I guess with the break on the Ferry you could do it in one go, plus a few stops for fuel.
I might consider going if I can get off at the right time.
I notice a Darren is running 245's, just wondering what width and offset his wheels are to be able to fit them under stock arches?

Me too.looking forward to seeing that
Keep the pics and stories coming folks - I can't get enough of this. 
Was Matt checking on the points gap do you think?
So Hubert has another Z now?
How was the Greemachine - did the driveshaft last.
It's the long run home today, I wonder who used the most fuel Darren or Matt (I think John's car is quite economical).

Just got home. Was a good run home with a couple of stops.
Rob - I think I won the fuel economy award. Didn't put any fuel in on the journey home and I've got around 15 l left. Not bad for a 350+ miles trip. Limited my mad moments to just a few and stuck to 70-75 for the rest of the trip.
Got loads of vids and pics I'll put up tomorrow.

Me and Darren took a trip Into Germany yesterday lunchtime to try out the autobahn. I can confirm that the car is faster than I've got the bottle to take it. I saw 159mph on the gps speedo before decided the wind noise was too much for me. I'll upload a video that shows gps speed and revs. The z was lovely to drive at this speed with no dramas.
Well, that's another memorable Spa Classic finished and I am back home, and ready for another week in Annonay from tomorrow!
I could only come on Sunday this year, and it was again a pleasure to meet all of you, known or new: Thanks for coming!
The lime 240Z is a known one in France, and it now has a 4.45 Subaru LSD transmission. It was the first real drive test for me, as I brought it home a few weeks ago. This is a very good car for the Spa roads around the track, but not really appropriate for high speed and motorway...
I was not present for all the sessions, but it looks like all of you are stepping up in performance year after year: Wellcome in 2016 and I am sure you will enjoy as we all do!
I missed the last co-pilot seat on Sunday, as James stopped prematurely in the session before, and I was hoping to see and enjoy the singing of Matt's BRE racing car, but you are all touching limits... A very good reason to plan for next year!
Thanks to all of you, and see you next year!
.... How to make laps shorter? Maybe like this?
But looking closer, there is still place where the grass cannot grow!
