Right gang...
I'll be on the 14:00hr DFDS ferry Dover-Dunkirk on Wednesday 22nd,
and returning on the 14:01hr DFDS ferry Dunkirk-Dover on Monday 27th.
I was going to be travelling in convoy with another modified ForFour CDI,
but the driver gets sea-sick easy, so we'll be parting company at Folkstone
where he'll be getting the Chunnel train. But we've agreed to meet up again
at the first service area/station on the Dunkirk-Antwerp road and convoy again.

From what I can make out on all the 'blurb' that's floating around, it looks like
you can park your motor at the event....but as to how secure/safe it is to leave
it overnight...........hmmmmmm   :-\
As most Hotels will be some distance (anything from 5-15 mins away, I'm not sure
that leaving it at the venue is the best idea.  Not that I/we don't trust the 'locals',
or those from other parts of the world who will be attending......ok.
There's no security camera's or guards... or so I have been able to find out...ok.

SOOOOOOOOOO.....
Just exactly who will be going from the UK in their ForFour's ?
I've already worked out the attendance of ForFour's will overall be embarressing
in comparison with the huge number of Uk ForTwo's and Roadsters that will be
attending....but...better some than none, right !

Anyway....correct me if I'm wrong....the UK ForFour attendee's that we know of
that will be attending are:-

3  ! Me / Andy (not yet registered) / LadyV + Fox in one car / and Alex....
Regretably musmart and Mazziel cannot make it due to other commitments.

From Romania (Cosmin's group) :-  up to 10 !..maybe more !
From the rest of Europe... Substantially more than 3  !


(UK figure amended, as per Alex)  ;)

I have a couple of small bad news.

1.If you're reffering to me by Alex ... :) I'm from Romania so with the second group.
2.Lots of last minute cancellations on our side, so only 3 smart cars will be attending and only 2 of them are forfours (other is a roadster..no fortows on our tube, they've all broken down).

I will be arriving in Antwerp on the morning of 23rd, and I too am looking for suggestions on where to park as the hotel we've booked does not have parking facilities.

LadyV and I will be coming in one car, we are getting the tunnel at about 7am from Folkstone to Calais on Wednesday the 22nd and taking our time visiting places we see along the way.

We are parking at the hotel (Hilton) at a cost of appx €16 per day but will be searching for somewhere cheaper if possible.

We will be leaving in the afternoon on Sunday and have a chunnel booked around midnight to return home.

As I only have one ForFour.co.uk polo shirt  (which is a bit tight!)
I will only be wearing it for one of the days of the event....the other
days I will be wearing either an Evilution polo, or an S2smarts polo.

I will be contactable via the guys on the S2smarts stand at the show...
they have my mobile number (Cosmin has it already)...so if any of you
want to meet up n say 'Hi' then try there first...I could even be there !

Looking forward to seeing as many of you that make it as possible..
and all the other owners of Smart ForFour's that attend.

Cheers...CrazyG (Graham)
