So off to Belgium next week for the competition, looking around here it seems La Perle Noire and Corica comes up as suggestions for places to go, any other new arrivals on the scene wort checking out?

Will someone from TMC be there?

How about renting a minibus and you could drive Steve Phil and I, we're all Gents and I'm sure we'd all like to go to Brussels. That's what you were asking for wasn't it? A Gent to take to Brussels? :wink:
YaY roadtrip... now if we could just "borrow" the Guat coffee bus it'd be really cool!
This week I are feeling sleepy!

Probably just a sugar rush, Cakey. You probably need a coffee. Image

You can drive the Guat bus then Jim. Steve, Phil and I can sit down the back and watch Anette whilst she works the Elektra, I know she can do that, cos I've seen the pics :shock: :wink:
Hey Leaky... any muffins left? Sure we can find some room for you too :wink:

Yeah, and I'm negotiating with her to find a babysitter to leave you with :P

Poor Anette... following this thread, I really don't think she'd want to meet up with any of us! :roll: :lol:
