Rob is a little concerned that we haven't had as many bookings as expected, given the deadline tomorrow for the hotel. So, please stop being indecisive, make the correct decision (to come to the meet!) and get your bookings in NOW! It's far from certain whether there will be another Amersfoort meet next year, and you certainly wouldn't want to miss out! Would you? Well? No of course not! This is a rare opportunity to get pissed with a whole bunch of empeg v1.0 types (Hugo, Patrick, Mike, Roger and even me!), play with some big boys toys, find out what everyone is up to in this post empeg era, and eat a lot of hardcore dutch cuisine. click here and come to Amersfoort on July 9th - you know you want to! Rob

Since we should have our bookings in by tomorrow, it might be comforting if those of us that already submitted our info could get a confirmation. I, for one, haven't received a confirmation.
Maybe we could get a list of who's going?

I am so sad that I cannot make it this year. Too many legal hassles with my father's estate and an asshole cousin that thinks he can horn in on the estate's holdings mean that I have basically no money. Of course, that's not really so much different than usual, only as far as who it is taking my money and my desire to let go of it.

I'll be there, and Elaine will probably be there on Sat evening, depending on how jetlagged she is - she is arriving from NJ on Sat morning.

Ditto - and are you taking any buttons with you for sale in Amersfoort? Just a thought

The hotel manager has imformed me that the hotel is (outside of the reservations made for our group) almost full. I have to give him the booking list tomorrow morning (Thurs 23 June). If we have less than the number of rooms I reserved, then he will release the surplus. If you aren't on that list, then in all honesty it's looking as if you then try a late booking, you can forget getting a hotel room. There are few alternatives in Amersfoort - not for nothing is the event held here - so if you need a room, you need to book it now. Please don't wait any longer folks: I have deliberately held this open longer than I should have done to give a little extra time to the ones who couldn't quite decide. Anyone you know from the last events who you have not seen here for a while, get PM'ing to let them know the board is up to get a booking done. See you there! PS. I have just received the main raffle prize - tee hee PPS. Forget all the rumours you are hearing, by the way

If you received the acknowledgement page when you pressed Submit, then the booking was sent to me. I*will be following up with an email to confirm with an indication on prices and a restaurant menu. This is currently what's holding things up here. Be patient!

Steph an I won't be able to make it this year. Too much other stuff going on right now. Can't be helped, but it still sucks!
That said, I hope everybody will have a terrific time at the meet! If it'll be even only half the fun we had the last two years, it'll be more than worth it!

What aspect do you mean? Its audio qualities? See this post
Its driving qualities? Very well indeed. But it's really hard to unleash it in this country. Already have my first flash photo taken ...

Your diesel engine will profit a lot from that. My gasoline engine hardly.

Anyway, sorry for the thread Hijack everyone. This thread was about Amersfoort, not speed cameras or car installs... Sorry about that... carry on!
