Cool

Sounds good even better as my Missus works on "P&O Ferry Calais" and we get unlimited free passage

Speaking of France, it would be fun to try and arrange something with the French G Club for some friendly Anglo/Franco relations ;)

Max, I agree but "Les Copains du G" is not the "French" G Club but "a" French G Club. The genuine one is the Club 4x4 Mercedes-Benz de France http://www.clubmbf.com.

If we'd like to make contact, I suggest that we do it through Uwe Schultz who is also a member of the GWOA and the "German Region" representative of the Club 4X4 MDF

I would suggest that it there is sufficient interest we could ask the GWOA Chairman to contact his counterpart in the CMDF and get organised. In the meantime, I shall investigate whether any contact has been made with the CMDF in the past.

Oops! I realise that they're not the official club (but then again what makes a club official? ;) ), it was just a slip of the fingers on the keyboard!

But was refering to Friends of the G only because of their pics on the website with the wine and good food... :D
