Starting to make a check off list of things needed for the Corvette Vagabond's return to Europe this Sunday.

Here is a picture of of Amsterdam from last fall on the 2012 Tour.

This link will take you to my Goggle map, showing the first day's drive of 350 miles from Wezep, NL. to Forges les Eaux, France.

Stay the night and head to Le Mans , France on Wed, June 19th. Lots of photos and vids if possible of the road trip.

I will be driving a C-5 provided by Andre Boer from his collection of cars. " Dutch Corvette Collection. link to collection https://www.autobedrijfandreboer.nl/

Paris is not a city to enjoy driving around in a car...metro is fine..or use a scooter.

How hard is the parking lot at Le Mans. It seems that no one goes home for extended periods of time. I have slept in my C-2. Is a C-5 more or less comfortable. More adventures for me. Any first hand tips from the peanut gallery on 4 days and night at Le Mans would be appreciated. My hosts, the Corvette Club of France , told me not to worry. And as Alfred E. Newman once said " What me worry ? " I fly off to Europe, camera , computer, phone, fast dry pants and a "sleeping bag" ?

Many little cottages like this in the Loir Valley in France not far from Le Mans. French Finance Ministers built their summer digs like the one below. Own it today, lose your head tomorrow, and a new owner smells the roses for a little while. How 16th and 17th Century Real Estate agents worked in France at the time. sich vor Lachen auf dem Boden wälzen

Hello to all,

Here is a link to updated map of my route from Wezep, Netherlands to Le Mans , France , with a night stop in Froges -les -Eaux ,France.

On the way home, I am trying to stop for the night near Cologne. Mark K, lives there, and maybe we can get together,

It is a 7 hour ride from Le Mans, and it would be on Sunday June 23. I must be back in Wezep by 3 pm on Monday June 24 to bring car back.

Roadhouse guys think of some way to meet.

I will be in Europe on Tuesday not Monday as planned. Flight problems from Portland ME to Philly. Just have to drive fast to make the date of cake and coffee in Belgium.

Tuesday, I drive from Wezep , Netherlands, to Belgium for lunch with some hosts from last year's trip. Then on to Forges les Euax , small town in France , (hotel stop) . Wendsday, on to Le Mans.

Lots of activities at the track and town. Many photos to follow

Jack

Ich werde in Europa am Dienstag, nicht Montag sein als geplant. Flug Probleme aus Portland ME nach Philly. Müssen nur schnell fahren, um das Datum von Kaffee und Kuchen in Belgien zu machen.

Dienstag, fahre ich aus Wezep, Niederlande, nach Belgien zum Mittagessen mit einigen Hosts aus der letztjährigen Reise. Dann weiter nach Forges les Euax, kleine Stadt in Frankreich, (Hotel Haltestelle). Wendsday, auf Le Mans.

Viele Aktivitäten an der Strecke und die Stadt. Viele Fotos folgen

Hi,

I am in a small town just south of Le Mans. Staying for a few days with a group of NCRS members from the UK and Netherlands.

Jack Humphrey, of the NCRS US, is running a judging session, and today they are judging 3 cars.

Tom Falconer of UK has organized the Farmhouse Inn that we are staying at. La croix Joreau, http://www.lacroixjoreau.com.

Later , I am off to Le Mans to shoot pictures and meet the members from the Corvette Club of France, who have invited me to Le Mans.

I have been driving a wonderful C-5 for the week and I have to admit , it is fun to drive, AC , Auto and fast.

Some pictures of the judging workshop last night and the farm
