Not many from Guernsey either, where I live, other than my lovely Audi Avant :-)

The Island's are great and surprisingly, because of the speed limits, have a large number of high powered cars.
Quite a few older cars travel to the Classic 24 which is where I am going this year (camping on MB). There are also a large amount of military vehicles in the Island's, probably because of the occupation, a number of which are going to the D Day celebrations in France.

I know a guy from Guernsey (works for AM now) and from the pictures he's shown me it looks like a beautiful place to live.

The Channel Islands are great with many advantages over the UK mainland. Sark is not for petrol heads but interesting to visit. Gurnesey and Jersey have most things available over here plus some great sunshine in the summer. The trouble is that the skies can be overcast quite a bit in the winter.
Great places to eat, lovely beaches, nice people and pretty countryside. The trouble is, if you are rich there will be many that are richer and if you are poor you will probably remain poor (and excluded from most of the islands benefits).

Great places for a holiday though.

Yes all the way from jersey smile . probably on our own as never seem to get many decent cars going down from this way .
I think I saw you the other day, not many white escort cosworths knocking around.

I'm heading over Thursday morning with white boxster spyder. Normally take nice route down off the motorways. Much more interesting than just St Malo - Renne - Laval - Le Man.

Im curious as to when people get onto sections of the track when its quiet to take pics of their cars - when can we access it like that? This year is my first le mans and would be nice to get a few momentos like that! going from 9th all the way through to the 16th
Parts of the mulsanne will be open all day Friday which is where most (including me!) go for some pictures etc.

Hmmm...not sure...confused

I thought that seeing as it's black, a "night fighter" (as in WW2 plane) theme might work but I can't find anything suitable.

Yeah; was thinking along those lines but the best I could come up with would be:

PH (RAF roundel) LM

A shark mouth would be good but I don't think it'd work because of the A-bar etc. however, this might work:

Wondering what sticker I can choose, given the space I have to work with.
Change of plan for us.... Now this. Sadly stickers have been banned - looking into it it's not a good idea on the caravan.
