Ooooh! Can't wait!!!!

Nice one dude. Havn't recieved my Houx camp ticket through the post yet. I did however learn that the best substance for getting that ticket off your windscreen after Le Mans is good old Petroleum and for once it doesn't have to be Superplus. Down there Monday 7th watching the tumble weeds blow across the campsite before the automobile storm.

He was referring to the sticker...

14 months of job hunting and judicial financial juggling has left the estate in a rather miserly position, had to lay of the beaters dontcherknow

[john yates]

No Problem with the temperature of the beer! The Family sized swimming pool from Argos shall keep the beer at perfect drinking temperature. Just hope we get a spot semi near a tap to fill it with the hose pipe. Unfortunetely the mini BBQ wont fit in Chimaera boot




So we will have to buy a cheep one from Carfour. Hoping to bring electric spit this year. For pig roast. Chimaera S3TAY.

Shnozz - just don't crash / sell / lose your car before the race!

I used to think that people left Le Mans campsite stickers on their windscreens because they were posers until I actually tried to get one off. I think the ACO use some strange french boiled-horse glue to stop them getting nicked.

Instead of peeling the whole of the strip off the top and bottom just do the corners. That way there isnt so much crap to remove afterwards.

Becareful how you do this though. If you dont make it look properly stuck on le guards on le gate will tell you to remove it and stick it on properly.

Oh my God! You have saved my ass literally. Absolutely Toilet Role is very important cant believe I forgot. Credit Cards also important. Oh and some change for the Toll Booths when you come off the ferry. Everything else and probably most on the list available from Carefour. Chimaera S3TAY.

and jump leads.....

you've got flag pole on your list - where do you get one that doesn't cost £100+?

[DustyC]

old fishing rods make good flag poles...
...as do trees

[catretriever]

I love the way you've ordered the list, I'm just not sure where I can get a "Paddling Pool Warning Triangle"
or a "Gaffa Tape Padlock"

And won't people laugh at me if I turn up in a Lada?

dontw orry, its only the corners attached as DustyC then recommended. I think it is a mix of posing and the fact that the are stick on with some industrial strength sticky sh*t. Petrol is the best way to get it off I found.

I put it on cos it arrived and its where it wont get lost.
