Visit to Renault Sport Factory in Dieppe - 23/3/09

[Schweppy]

Right then guys n girls, I am in the process of organizing a trip to the RS factory in Dieppe, Belgium and need to find out how much interest there is for this as I have been given 10-15 spaces out of 40 for the trip in March. There are only 2 trips a year so not many people get to go.

Arrangements

Obviously, getting there will be up to you but as we will need to get there the night before, I can arrange hotel details and it would be nice to convoy to the factory as a club.

Please put your name down if you would like to come on the trip, i'm not sure what sort of interest this will get but if there are more than 15 names, I will allocate spaces on a first come, first serve basis. Once you put your name down, I will forward booking forms and payment details.

Next day factory visit followed by night out on the hammer.
Up early ish tuesday for crossing around midday, drive home.
So far there is Two of us in 197's, ill fill you in on the times ect and tag along if you fancy it???
Has anyone stayed in that area??? any hotel ideas???

 

[rsclio182]

i was looking into this so would be interested. which dock will you be going out of?

 

[JON13S]

wouldnt mind some help with booking crossings etc with this one guys.. need a get together i think...

 

[Naith]

we did dover-boulogne

drove to dieppe, stayed in the ibis, i think

all went to a steak house on the sat which was brilliant, watched the F1 on sunday in hotel and drank, drank, drank. got down on the harbour sun nite was leathered, factory the next day and stayed in boulogne the last night before catching ferry on the monday

 

[BIG jts]

Been checking the ferries seems Ducking long winded if you got direct to Dieppe from Eastbourne,Portsmouth,Dover ect, some are 4 hrs long and you have to be there 45 min before.
I would rather drive the 100 miles from calais and take the eurostar, the ferry crossing from dover to Callais takes around 2hrs and is £50 and the Eurostar if you book now is under £90 return.

 

[richard1]

This sounds tempting..

Now its running, I might hop on the fast ferry from Newhaven - Dieppe.

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah i might be up for that

 

[Bluebeard]

John, whos is the other 197?! :S

Just to confirm, I am NOT sitting in the back of your car. I'd rather walk.

 

[Naith]

dover to boulogne was 50 minutes, and then the drive... but thats what half the trips about IMO

Laurens driving her 197.

That sounds more like it, prob just take the eurostar is so easy and quick.

 

[Ash87]

[BIG jts]
