Any Brits in Ypres happy with the timing of this event now? The trip has become a bit cheaper now.

Erm, no it hasn't. Quite the opposite. A tank of fuel now costs 10% more than it did yesterday thanks to those morons. I have €80 left that are going up in value as I look at them.

Just means that unless it recovers I can't afford to do it again next year.

Yeah, what I meant was you'll get more pounds back for every euro you don't spend now. Obviously overall it got more expensive.

Ha, in that case, yeah, but I don't want to spend anything. I'm in Belgium and questioning whether beer is a good idea!

Possibly... it seems strange that DMack suddenly had a 'car problem'.

Although Elfyn Evans set some top times on the Circuit of Ireland on similar wet, muddy tarmac... but that was with the old DMack tarmac tyres.
