Should you have any questions regarding the process of registration, don't hesitate to post it in this thread or send me a PM.

See you in Luxembourg!

If my car had lower mileage and I was sure my car would make it there and back Juergen, I'd be signing up today!

Looks like it will be a great event, especially if there was a convoy from the UK ;)

Rich, you don't need to bring your car under any circumstances. Everyone is welcome, with or without the 75/ZT! Maybe you can share the drive with someone else. Some friends are already going for a car pool.

Hello Jeurgen
The registration page is in foreign could you please post here what the options are I can muddle my way through it because I have a smattering of foreign others may not be able to. :)

click on the union flag/ american one and all will be revealed ... ;)

I'm registered now .. :D

English: http://www.r75.info/modules.php?name...ewlang=english

How many cars are due at the event??

Thanks guys, with everything else I am having to deal with at the moment I couldn't see the wood for the dashboards.

Thanks.

I've corrected the link in the post and in my signature. (Thanks Rich). Once I switched to English on r75.info I got it right every time I tested. :o

http://www.r75.info/modules/Forums/i...s/00000298.gif

A lot. ;)

Just registered I struggled through the German until I realised I could change pages to English :lol:

Good to have you aboard. http://www.r75.info/modules/Forums/i...s/00000298.gif


There's French version, too. :D

Hi Juergen et al

Je suis on board! Although the reg form says Ms!

Christopher

Yes, the titles could have been expanded a bit, Mr/Mrs/etc

also was a bit wary of entering all the details asked, too much information to be held about me if you ask me ....

I have not registered as i am going with Grey Ghost and he has done the deed :)

He looks after you! It must be like having a very old big brother :laughing2:

i would say grandad but i dont want to upset him ;)

Being the same age as GG that would make me very unhappy as well :mad:

Cheeky kids :D ;)

Juergen

How many do you normally get for these three day meetings?

Ken

he knows i don't mean it :bowdown:

I'm sure we have more get up and go than these kids Ken, only trouble is mine got and went. :laughing2:

http://www.r75.info/modules/Forums/i...s/00000298.gif Christopher

Sorry, there's a bug.

In 2003 at the 1st intl. meet in Luxembourg were about 60 cars attending.

I have a feeling this one will be BIGGER and BETTER



Only cos the 75andztclub will be there ;)

That's for sure, Kandyman! :lol:


Where have you been in May 2003? Do you have an alibi? :angel:

Sorry but i never had a rover back then, i think i was driving round in a b*m 525 TDSE :D

it's ok i have seen the light now :bowdown: Rover :bowdown:

There seems to be a problem with the offered payment methods. The banks charge an extreme amount of money for the transfer. :eek:

So please suspend your payment until this problem has been solved. We will look into alternatives and keep you informed.

Please have a look over here: http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...ead.php?t=2594

dose this mean that we get in for free ;)

They are already charging double for you for your cheek, don't make it any worse for yourself. :D:oh you:

Juergen couldn't everyone going over from here just pay when we get there?

Is that not the simplest way?


Ken

I think they should be paying us :flog:

No, you will have to pay interest for delay. :D

That’s it I’m not paying, who wants to sneak in over the back fence?

I bet they don’t have the guard towers to stop us like we had installed at the eden camp to stop members sneaking in:flame:

I think your keyboard is a little tipsy :D But suddenly regained it's composure. Funny that :D

Hi GG just reg for the Lux meet. see you at ours
:beer2: bri :driving:

Good move Bri, we'll organise floating transport little nearer the time. Nearly Haynes time. Juergen will be over so we can grill him before the event. :)
Have you booked the hotel?

Yes GG i have booked the same one as you all. Lets have a:party: Something else to look forward to now must get the hols booked a work. BRI

We will offer PayPal soon, Ken.

Looking forward to meet you again, Bri!

All I will say is ... :oops:
No, less than that. :D

Thanks Juergen much more convenient and cheap.


Not grilled like a Wurst auf den Grill

More like in darkened room with the bright lights and the rubber truncheons (the third degree). Typical Saturday night entertainment at Madame whiplash place for you (or so I've heard). :rofl:

Within the first 24 hours we count ...

14 cars from 5 nations* :)

Denmark
Germany
Luxembourg
Netherlands
United Kingdom

:group:

*alphabetical

We don't do *alphabetical

As we are all supposed to be European nowadays the French call us Angleterre so that makes us top of the list!:lol: :lol:

:D Like kidnapping by :alien: ?

Then I'll use the German form of UK, which is Vereinigtes Königreich. That means even further down ... :p:

Careful there Ken. We have Jocks, Paddys, Micks and Taffys as well as the sassenachs (spelling) on the forum, it's OK alienating our European fiends but not the locals. :rofl:

That's easy for you to say :rofl:

PayPal is now available!

Go to the first post for details.

I have sent mine Juergen, thanks for sorting out Paypal :lol:


Ken

Think I've mentioned this before but the wife doesn't see what all the fuss is about with the 75. Ok so I'm trying to strike a deal with the missus. We have never been to Luxembourg before and I would really like to go to this event.

Is it possible for 'er indoors and our 11yr old to wonder off to do some sightseeing shopping etc while I'm in the Castle on Sunday afternoon? Is there free time to do our own thing? Don't get me wrong.. I'm not being unsociable, :cool2: but trying to make it tempting for her.

Entirely up to you how you spend your time. There are the two events going on at the same time, Rover meet is a sideline to the main Luxembourg events.

Click the link for more info.

You might want to skip the intro on the site it does go on a bit although very clever.

www.luxembourg2007.org

Is someone co-ordinating a gathering at the French side to travel to Lux in convoy? :)

It is being considered, once we decide on ferry times then we can take that forward.
At the moment we have Kandy and myself in my car and Ken and Christopher in Chris' car. Actros may well be going from Dover to Calais too, Mike and Passenger?. All would have to be co-ordinated.

I've got Stuart (my son) coming too ;)

Looks like a 4.30am crossing!! :SHOCKED:

Ghost i'll still have my PJ's on when you pick me up :sad:

You're the 1st one, Ken :lol: Much appreciated.


Of course there will be no obligation to take part in any activities, you're free to decide. Although maybe your wife has to take the car to get to another event.

:eek: That means a really short night, but I think it will be worth it. ;)

tomtom quotes 425 km / 265 mi and a little bit less than 4 hours from Calais to Bettembourg.

Hi Juergen just paid for the Lux meet.
cheers bri (actros):D

Thanks Bri :lol:

hi juergen how many members from britain is going to the Lux meet.:cool2: :driving:

Hi Guys

Looks like we might make Luxembourg too, should know shortly, and will book then.
Starting to look around for hotels, where is everyone staying? Any recommendations?

Thanks Neil

Once you register you will find a couple of hotels on the list with availability, one of which is below some of us have booked this one.

You will see the link to register at the bottom of Juergens post. Cost of rgeistration is 25 Euros per person.

Hi actros

actually there are 6 cars with 10 persons from the UK joining our event.

Regards

Gert

Thanks
Will try and sort it tonight.

Thanks Gert, I'm sure a few more will be registering soon :)

Hi folks,

some news about this event:

- XPart will join us in Luxembourg with some official representatives from France, Belgium and Germany. We will have the opportunity to ask questiions about availability of parts and other problems as well.

- On Monday may 28th we are invited to visit the european center of distribution of XPart in Metz (France). Experts will guide us there.

-We have already found some sponsors which gave us a number of very nice items for our tombola. Some items are a "must have" for every Rover/MG enthusiast.
We hope that you will buy a lot of lots for the tombola because the proceeds will be donated to a beneficial organisation.

Don't miss this event!


Register now!!!

Regards

Gert

It's all looking good.

:)

Thanks for the update Gert, this is going to be one very special weekend. :)

Payment how to
 

Hello Juergen,

I just registered for the Lux meet. I have a Pay Pal account, but no credit card for the payment of £36.- for 2 adults. I had chosen for the hotel in Dudelange. They mentioned a code: Rover for booking. How can I pay everything?

Regards Ralph

This is taken from the first post on this thread:

If you want to pay with PayPal, please pay £18.- per adult to PayPal<at>ClubSeventyfive.org by using one of these links:

£18.- for 1 adult

£36.- for 2 adults

£54.- for 3 adults

Mike :)

Hi Ralph

I have emailed juergen as he has not been on for a few days. he should check your post soon.

Hello Mike,

Yes I know the link, but they demand a type of creditcard I don't have. When I receive an e-mail adress form Juergen I can pay anyone by Pay Pal.

Cheers Ralph

Hi,

it is no problem to pay via your normal bank account from the netherlands. Costs are the same than within the netherlands!

If you need our international bank account, just let me know.

Regards

Gert

Hi Ralph

Nice to hear that you'll be there, too. :)

If you have a PayPal account and follow the links provided by Mike, then you don't need your credit card details, because you can log on with your existing account.

But as you are from the Netherlands there is another way of paying your contribution for the meet. Just pay 50,- Euro (25,- per adult) with an Euro bank transfer to the account of the Club Seventyfive (BIC: CCPLLULL, IBAN: LU90 1111 2059 2389 0000 (but without any blanks, so for cut and paste use LU901111205923890000)) and add "Meeting Luxembourg 2007". Some banks charge high fees for international non-Euro bank transfers, so we offer PayPal, too.


PS: Gert was faster ;)

Thanks a lot for the quick response fellows. :)
Gert was quick but Juergen had all the details.
I think this one is a draw. :)

Hello Juergen,

The IBAN number is not correct everytime I fill in the number. Could you check this out for me? Thanks

Regards Ralph

Hi Ralphy :)

I have taken the liberty of giving your email address to Juergen so he can help you out directly. Posting back and forth here results in long delays so I think it will be better.
Hope you don't mind.

Sorry if it has been mistakable, Ralph. Just drop the blanks, they are intended for an easier visually check only. I've updated my last posting accordingly.

I was finally able to register for me and the missis :clap: We only have to look for a hotel now, because the accord hotel you guys are staying is all occupied for the 26 of may.

Anyone from Holland also registered recently?

See you all :grouphug: at the Lux meet.

Regards Ralph

Hi Juergen are you going to meet up with the british lot or will you have to be there on the Friday.:bowdown: :cool2: :driving:

Hi Bri, our team will already be there on Friday. So we'll receive you and the gang on Saturday. ;)

Hi damydyo1,

yes, there are some more participants from the Netherlands. But they already had found accomodation at the Accor Hotel...

Nevertheless, you won't be alone:grouphug:

Regards

Gert

Love to be there but.....
 

I'd really like to be there with you, but we have a holiday in Scotland booked for the same period. So best wishes and I hope you have a great time

Andrew

Caravanners
 

Hi Juergen

Just want to confirm that the official camping site is Parc Jaquinot at Bettembourg.

I will book with them direct using code "Rover". Is anyone else caravanning?

Chris

Hi Chris

It seems that you are the only one with a caravan. :(

hth

Hello Juergen

Anybody wishing to purchase one of these, please take into consideration that there may be a hefty fee charged by your bank for an international transfer from UK.
Wisest choice would be via paypal.

On behalf of the club and members, thanks for posting this and being partly responsible.

(Thanks MIke, you were obviously up early today. :) Beat me by a minute. :) )

Just ordered mine and posted a global announcement so that your post is accessible from any forum. :)
:luvya: :bowdown: :grouphug:

Thanks, pals. PayPal will be the best choice indeed when using Pounds.

There are already a few orders via PayPal by now ... ;)


Thanks for your announcement, GG. :)
