Monaco Grand Prix Hoon 2012 - Discussion Thread

[FlyingTrotter]

Good effort Ben - great trip - too close to Spa for me and I'm doing Monza GP but would be interested in 2013

[Bruce Fielding]

This is a brilliant trip, and one I am delighted to do again (that's my orange car in the pics from a few years ago)

As Ben says it's very much DIY.

For example, I will probably not attend any of the racing (having been before) but will happily accompany people on shopping trips, and am planning on a visit on Saturday night to my favourite club on the South coast of France in Cannes, le Baoli. Again it's not cheap, but it is absolutely fabulous!

Just to had an additional slant on this one, my wife is flying down with a friend on the Thursday, I will be doing boozy lunches, the race and Jane will drive back with us to Chamonix, Paris etc, her friend is flying home on the Monday.

I have done a few of these tours now with members of AAOC and they are brilliant, can't recomend this one enough, well done Ben for putting all this together.

Good point forgot to point out that a few WAGs are flying down for the race weekend only, this could be an option for other Atomites who can't spare the time for racing

I guess from a previous trip?  looks awesome BTW

Looks absolutely spot on - great job Ben!

I'm just trying to work out how I can raise the money to come......... Unfortunately two young kids and an unhealthy obsession with racing motorbikes means it's difficult to see how it would be possible.  There is talk of a European Championship for twinshock scramblers next year - if it comes off I'll be doing that and then there's no chance 

Anyone got any ideas for get rich quick schemes? 

[wattie]

Oops,  apologies Ben.
Back on topic, this would be a seriously cool trip. Kel and I visited The area last year and thought it was tailor made for Atom fun.F1 weekend would be perfect.
Cheers Wattie

looks a cracking jolly ben, no can do as am already going to the alps mid june

i do object however to removing any of the silly bollox........

is the main reason for coming on here 

[Trigger]

Would also love to join you guys - would be awesome. But I am off to the Alps in End June/Ely July so cannot do both. Have fun though - bet you get a pretty big crowd down in Monaco with 7 or 8 Atoms !

[Alex Brandon-Smith]

Absolutely gutted...I am working a wedding on the 25th (that is my only tie up for the whole period) but I will be all over joining you on this trip in 2013 from France. Enjoy...not hacked off at all!

Chaps,

I have set up this thread for discussing the Monte Carlo Hoon.

Details of the trip can be found here

Maybe someone with the power and skills to do so could put mention of this trip in the 'news' tab on the forum? Maybe after Piers' message about the server upgrades isn't relevant any more?

I didn't realise Easter was so early this year

[benyeats]

Grand Prix tickets booked today.  Who's genius idea was it to schedule all this expense just before Christmas!

Really looking forward to this one

Ben
