Hi,
We'll be heading for the Standard Triumph European Rally next weekend,
leaving Dover for Calais around 8:30 on Friday, then driving up through
the North of France and Belgium to Venlo in Holland for the Rally. We're
taking the Spitfire, so hopefully the weather will be kind to us. Is
anyone else off the list going?
Cheers,
Bill.

Hi Bill, and others:
George Walker (TSSC member from Trowbridge, Wilts) and I are going to STER
(Standard Triumph European Rally) No.2, this coming Friday 28 May 1999.
We will be taking my Red Vitesse Convertible '7456 PJ'
We are sailing on P&O Stena Linen Ferries: Friday morning on the 07.00 am
sailing.
We expect to drive to Venlo via Tongeren, near Liege in S.E. Belgium,
stopping off to say hi to TSSC Belgium area members, before proceeding north
to Venlo in Holland via Maastricht... We should arrive at the STER rally site
around 7-8pm Friday evening.
We look forward to seeing you in the bar on Friday evening! Mine's a Grolsch,
BTW.
Take care and remember to take a few French Francs for their Autoroute tolls.
Fuel is cheaper on the continent, so fill up there, but don't forget that not
all French gas stations take VISA cards...also remember to take a spare set
of headlamp bulbs, a warning triangle, GB plate, First aid kit and headlamp
beam deflectors.
All a legal requirement in France and most other european mainland countries.
STER or bust!
Leon
Hello Triumphists,
For your info: The best way to drive from Calais is via Jabbeke
(A18) filling up at the motorway in Jabbeke, cheaper than France
and will accept credit cards (NO toll in France between Calais and
Belgian border) then follow E40 via Brussels to Liege if going to
Tongeren, if direct to Holland follow E40 and after Gent E17 to
Antwerp after the Antwerp-ring E34 direction Eindhoven/Venlo
just prior entering Germany exit VELDEN .Drive north about 6
miles is Arcen. See you.
Jean Roulleaux
