Were There Any Rally Visitors from UK?

Hi Graham,

I'm in UK, and I went to my first rally last November (last year was also my first year as member). I went with my wife, and it cost around £2500. We stayed at the hotel where the rally is held, and flew non-stop from Heathrow to LAX. The flight (virgin) was around 1000, Hotel around 500, and we managed to blow 1000 in cash. We did spend quite a lot of time in the bar... hotel prices, you know... 10 bucks a drink including tips, usually. If you go alone, and don't go crazy with spending money, you should be able to get it down to around 1200-1300..

And, I will be going again this year - no question!

No intention of stepping on others' toes... but I was glad for the chance to meet & hang out a bit with another of your countrymen -
The One & Only; The Amazing: Nick Moxsom.
No joke; for real.
(I have a bit of UK bias, as my Grandfather was from Liverpool... )
HTH; cheers!

There were a few people from the UK there last November. The airline cost from there isn't too steep so there is no reason for the Brits to drop LA.
From Norway, where I now live, it's a bit more expensive and a few hours longer being stuck in a plane seat, but still worth it.
I was trying to find Peter in November but you managed to hide away - no doubt probably boozing in the bar with Nick (only joking).
Peter, you say your grandfather came from Liverpool, and I hazzard a gues that his genes came from Ireland, no?
As it happens, I was also raised in Liverpool between the age of 7 and 25 which means that we actually should meet up at this year's LA bash ...

Hi Telefunkin ...

Crazy as I am, I have just booked my flight to LA in November. As they say: The early bird catches the cheapest flights ...

£560 from Heathrow is too much. Check on the various internet bookers like GoToGate, Momondo, etc. and find the fliights that best fit your time-plan and purse.

My booking takes me from Bergen in Norway to La via Amsterdam with a total haul of 14:15 hours and the same for the return and has cost me £337.

See you at the Rally bar in November!!!

I also prefer a good and reliable taxi service company, when I was in London. And almost last 1 year, I regularly used a very good private hire Heathrow Taxi company and enjoy my comfortable ride.
