Just a Cerbera and a Griff unless we pick anyone up enroute.


You'll probably be the only convoy not to get split up though!

One of the lads going has a 318i, but I couldn't bring myself to add it. (nothing against BM's, I have one.)
Anyway, he's gonna get left miles behind once we pass CAAN !


But since he'll be heading for CAEN and going the right way he'll still beat you there!

What day are you travelling down. In fact, when is everyone travelling down?
We will be on the Thursday morning/afternoon. The campers will be ahead of us as they are on the overnight boat!

Why not get a little electric compressor? My car one has a seperate inflator for pools etc and is as small as a foot pump.

Well then you should have enough breath for the foot pump (or to left the bonnet on the Fester and conect the wires to the battery).

I know we jest but I think MX5s are cracking cars.
I cant think of any other small RWD convertables available at the price they go for.
The early ones can now be had for £4K!
Closest thing to it has to be old MGs or perhaps a TVR S1

N17 - Think we found our first volunteer for our "experiment" at Le Mans...


Does it involve a tent with a certain sign?

My first thought was "oh no thats Des's dad!"
who travels down with us each year. When you said he spoke Danish, who cant after a few beers!

The last pic made me realise it wasnt though.
I think it was Des who couldnt actually find the door to his tent and was so pissed was at the side of it looking for a zip that wasnt there. Left him there looking for half an hour until I told him he wasnt at the front!
