I'm sorry that I forgot previously, but Peter (Trakcar) with the new purple RS will be with us in Dijon as well and would like to join for dinner (we just had a nice dinner at Spa). And good chance he'll have a friend along. Any chance to add two to the reservation?
Sorry for any trouble,
Grant

DaveGordon:I doubt it would be an issue.. I'll check.
The 9 I booked for included RC+1 - @RC - you still think you're likely to join?
60% chance...sorry, this is all I got but I would love to meet you guys. So far, I have nothing planned but my wife sometimes takes over emergency shifts from colleagues if they get ill or if she gets a special request from her "boss" (emergency services planner, she cannot refuse because in return, he spares her from doing these services during school vacations).
Long story short: It looks good so far, I really want to join you guys but I cannot exclude that I won't make it.
It also depends a little bit on the weather, if it rains, I doubt I will come because I have my son with me and driving through rain is kind of boring for him.
Btw: Are you guys planning to do something in the afternoon of that Saturday? Also what about safe parking at the restaurant meet? Keep in mind that Rennteam is a public forum, just saying...

To complicate the matter, my +1 is now -1. I was going to bring my gf but I'm not going to bore her with wine fuelled PDK vs. manual discussions, I'll leave her home.
Peter can take her spot.

Last time I took my wife to a Rennteam meet diner, she said : Never again ! She was so bored ! If it is couples it is ok, but if mainly guys, it get pretty boring for non petrol heads !
@ RC : We will probably leave the cars at the hotel and take a cab to the restaurant ( we did it like this last time ) . Anyway, I would not worry too much . Dijon is not down town Paris .
I plan to arrive early afternoon ...... and will go to Stand21 for some shopping ( the factory is just before the hotel ) . Then I am free for whatever ..

Sorry guys but it seems I cannot make in to the meet. It is just too far away. I wanted to come Saturday, stay over night in Dijon and leave Sunday in the afternoon but my wife has to work Sunday, so the kids would be alone (son cannot join me anyway because he has a major test the coming Monday). From my home town, it is almost a 700 km drive (1400 km forth and back). For comparison: It would be 400 km to Lake Garda or 800 km to the Cote d'Azur, so you have a notion of how far away Dijon is for me and why it doesn't make sense to come for a couple of hours only.
Would have loved to meet you guys but maybe some other time, maybe when it is warmer.

Gnil:I understand . It is pretty far for you to come just for these few ours . A petty though . Hopefully we can have a meet in spring !
My dream would be a Rennteam meet somewhere around Lake Garda (or a similar place), when it is warm (30°C or more) and sunny. The roads there are very nice, not really suitable for street racing (thanks god) but just for having some innocent fun, also the food is great and there are some very nice hotels. Of course this could be said about other regions too, so I am open to suggestions.

Good idea, guys. You don't need bodyguards though, I am much nicer (and less mean) in person.

Now I understand why he needs a bodyguard.

When are you guys scheduling to arrive? I'm guessing I'll be there around 4-5PM on Saturday. Heading to the Stand21 shop close to the hotel first.

I hope it will melt fast ...... Forecast for the afternoon is 7 degrees , but the morning could still be wet and icy . I guess you will be experimenting your drifting techniques more then record time laps !
Sunday looks much better : 6 degrees in the morning and 13 in the afternoon. Half sunny .
