Will also be packing tomorrow and heading to Dover to catch a 9.30 ferry on Tuesday morning.

Might see you there Ben! Keep an eye out for a convoy of "That-Way.co.uk" stickered cars (9 in total I think!). I'll be in the blue VX220

All packed and ready to go, picking Minimax up in Nottingham, then off to meet the Yorkshire convoy on the way down.

See you all there.

Have a good trip everyone

This is a real feelgood thread :-)

I am waiting for my mate now to get here, before we set off to london for our overnight stop. Then we are stickering up the cars (very small magnetic things for the doors, will probably fly off) and sailing tomorrow lunchtime.

We have been having some last minute teething issues, the M5 in our convoy has been in for new airflow sensors and the dealer managed to wipe the ECU by accident. It appears that we are all good to go though, wouldn't be the same le mans without the odd obstacle! Talk about leaving it to the last minute.

If you see a Cappuccino on the way it is me!

Just off to get Euros and E111, then load up with Optimax.
we decided to do a test drive round here first cos we have never stuck a tent in the front compartment of the car before.
Then its a 5pm sailing to Zebrugge.
Woohoo

If anyone spots a red 328 on a c plate stop and say hello.
