So apart from V8 BYF, ECain, Neil.d, Gruffnut and myself, who else is going this year from the SC.

DJPetrolhead I see you have posted on one of the Le Mans topic, you going? Be good to know who to look out for?

Also what are people doing to there cars, any ideas as there are only 65days to go?! Im thinking of a version of the black 2012 M3 DTM car (seeing as my car is like an M3!!).

I'm assuming that you mean the 24 hours? If so I've been a few times now, haven't driven every time but have the last few.
We're in Karting Nord with some friends who we've met over the years and have ended up combining our camping with. Normally an easy spot as we have the road side pitches.

Here's some previous themes that a few of us have done over the years.

To start with I was jealous of the lack of sticking I had to do as I had no car, so I concentrated my efforts at some white goods.




Then I grew up and got a car. The VX is owned by my Father.
We started going down the Gulf route.









Then we changed to the Red Bull livery.












Then we had one year of lack of imagination.





And then we also had my friends left field approach.

Might get some stickerage for the M-bus but not sure yet. I'll see what Mr AmEx says this month.

Yeah, experience designing decals for my old 205s tell me it won't be a cheap purchase.

Cool, looks like a few familiar faces will be about. Need to meet you DJ before then so I will recognise you! We are on the 9am fast cat on the Friday from Portsmouth to Cherbourg. Will probably get there about the same time.

It will be myself, Gruffnut in his VXR Monaro and looking at the crossings sticky there are a couple of Atoms and a Boxster on our crossing too. no doubt there will be more added as well, along with the non PH lot!

This is what I had in mind, minus the roof decals and with a few comedy twists.

Many very expensive paint jobs down there with stickers adoring their shells. As long as you apply and remove correctly you'll be fine as I'm sure the 205 taught you.
All part of the fun!

Got a photo of it stickered up?

I'm not following the Le Mans stickered up thread as much this year as I'm not driving, so the stickers are out of my hands.
