Buzz Billsberry Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Welcome Chris from one of the finest brewing countries in the world! They invented Stella you know! Me and the Yorkshire/lancashire areas usually drive the westy's down thro' Belgium every year on our way to Le-Mans. Although this year we are not attending the event but we are still going down to the south of France but will only be doing the return trip via Belgium. I will be attending Spa this year not sure which event yet. Welcome Chris this is a great club you'll definately enjoy it. Buzz Forget Stella and try Jupiler. Even better in the blonde category, but don't drive after : Duvel or Leffe. My personal choice being a traditional brown Trappist beer (Rochefort). When you plan to come in Belgium, don't hesitate to ask for advises and tips. (and not only about beers !) Hi Chris Not tried Duvel but drank Leffe when I was at Spa last year. I'll look out for Duvel when we come back over to Spa in the summer.O ref our French blat this year We'll be travelling back up thro Belgium from France on 29th June in the westy's and VX220s.

What do you mean ? more "tape-cul" than planned ? News for Wendy : I have ordered wheels directly to Rimstock. Within two weeks, Wendy will have nice 15" Team Dynamics Proce 1.2 with Toyo T1R. Who could be interested in nice Wolfrace Octane 17" wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
