MOAR!!

Build thread link?

[only me]

Making its 6th pilgrimage to Le Mans


Complete with picket fence from last years Champagne Tent

[Pied Piper]

Another year another MOT well done Tony, we will try to keep up.

[S6OOH]

Tony....we need more fence!

[ncs]

And a larger shoe rack.

[peaktorque]

I still can't decide..........



Pros- A bit different
30 MPG at best
Noisey - V8
It spits flames
I can't hear my passenger
It will be it's 3rd trip to Le Mans (never broken down!)

Cons- My passenger is too big for it.
It spent most of the journey last year dragging it's arse along the road due to my passenger/camping crap
I'd have to raise the ride height because of above reason
It's not currently MOT'ed or tax'ed (no reason why, just had no time!)
It needs new diff bushes
Can only bring my 'small tent'
It hasn't broken down on the last two LM trips - it's probably due one

Or.............




Pros- Quite a lot - being an estate.
My passenger fits in it
I can take my 'big' tent and blow up bed
60 MPG+
I can get the TVR jobs done in my own time

Cons- Boring
Having to listen to my passenger for 4 hours+


.............. Or I could take my Disco 3...

My stickers have arrived, including my Martini stripe! I'm sure there'll be much cursing before it's all on.

Same here, mine arrived yesterday (good timing being exactly 28days before I leave) Now when to 'try' and put them on? May go for the week before so i can try and get them right or reorder if i totally mess them up :s

You are probably right Nick.

My head says Merc, but my heart says Chim.......

There's always next year though

Will be taking the E32 this year. It's the 10th year of Team Shed and am as excited as always!

Seem to spot you on the way home every year

[-Lummox-]

Well I was due to be taking my (comparatively) frugal BMW 530d, but I've now part-ex'd that for a Focus ST so expect to have a much bigger fuel bill for the trip!
