Hey smile, new member here, but been a member of midweek motorsport radio le mans collective, and autosport forums for ages..
I had hoped to get the eurostar to le mans, but didnt order tickets till i got my passport, thats been a big mistake, as tickets are now 225 each way frown

so im hoping i can hook up with someone or a group and get a lift.. mostly i just need a lift from a ferry to le mans, as i can get the train to the port in the UK quite cheaply, or wherever a kind chap/chappette would like to meet smile

also need a lift back for the return leg smile. im happy to pay a reasonable amount, and if im going, im intending to get a kangaroo tv, and take my camera, so im happy to share them and take pics for people smile

id prefer if possible, to get there for wednesday practise, but im happy with whatever i can get smile

luggage wise, im thinking a medium sized backpack and a wheely case thing, if that matters smile

and my name is paul menard, so u can find me on facebook smile. ill be traveling from the swindon area, but can meet anywhere where theres a train station nearby, pretty much smile

You beat me to it Nige! Return fuel from Sheffield to Le Mans and back in the '78 is normally about £100 each but this includes plenty of hooning once in LM aswell.

We've a spare seat in our Bambulance if you don't mind sharing with 8 rather mad Scottish guys - All we'd want is a contribution to the fuel fund and a few bottles of some fine beer for the fridge smile

If you were interested we're getting the ferry on the Wedensday morning, and coming back on the Monday night. Probably easiest picking up in either Dover or Calais but a drop off further north on the way back might be possible.

If you interested, drop me an email.

Cheers,
Tino

Hi Paul,
Sorry you could not come in my 71 vett. i am camping opposite the airport terminal, maybe we could meet for a beer. Hopefully a few vett people meet in the bar which is on the left side of the main tunnel on the rightside. It normally is a big beer tent. Good luck.
Pete.
