G-man nearly got consumed by the crowd of brits having fun at the roundabout when he turned up there last year.
He dropped a quick U turn and departed at speed only to be pulled by the plod.
In pigeon french managed to translate 'baying mob' to the then understanding gendarme who sent him on his way.

Shhh boys don't give the fun away, I was expecting to see a unofficial world record attempt at the 180 degree spin followed by the 0-150 getaway - which my car also holds

You know when you tell a child not to do something?

Only for them to want to know why?

Then said child pushes the point?

So you say "Well, if you really must!"

And child goes away and come hurridly back, wimpering?

And you find it highly amusing that said child would not listern, but what you really wanted was for them to to actually do said action! Because you knew if you came straight out and said "Do this!" they would not do it!







It worked beautifully!!

Said child pushed point!

We said "Well, if you really must!"

Said child did! oh

Child came back wimpering!

We all



Child, lesson, learnt I believe!!

My first Le Mans was in 2001 with the Ultima Club, we got banned from the Formule 1 thanks to Paul B's loud drunk voice . I think I remember the hotel manager coming out in his Y-fronts to complain at about 2:30 in the morning. Thought it was a bit unreasonable to expect us to be quiet given it was Le Mans weekend. I hasten to add I was equally drunk, m'lud.

I will be going this year, and I am leaving on the Wednesday. But I will be taking the M5, as the last few years have been getting more and more rowdy, and there are few good driving opporunities when there. Mostly because of my state of innebriation. But you should do the Mulsanne at least once in your Ultima.

Oh yes!
Well and truly done.
Was last in line of a small convoy going to explore the Mulsanne last year.
They all took a camper van on the exit of the roundabout joining the end of the Mulsanne but I got stuck behind it for some while.
When I got past they'd all pi$$ed off. I had no choice but to go fast to catch up again m'lud.

Speaking on behalf of Crazy of Cookham (who has absented himself to slide down mountains for a week or two) he'll be going. At least, he will if I, as nominated organiser for our little group, can sort out exactly who's going and then get them to agree on the route, campsite, etc. Last year we were a party of six travelling in a CanAm, Impreza and MINI Cooper. Haven't had so much fun in ages.

Where is everyone staying?

Surprised crazy can afford to go to Le Mans this year- he has to pay the electricity bill after installing all those lights!

I got mobbed by a crowd a few years back in my Evo, demanding burn outs, they were sadly disappointed, it is did was grip and go.

I've not booked a place to stay yet, always gone down in a group and someone else dealt with that.
More to the point getting the tickets too, maybe I should bring the miss's, as I clearly can function on my own.

What’s everyone else doing camping? If so I’m not staying in side the circuit, rather go for a poo at Glastonbury.
