What car for 2010 le mans ?

[jameswhitburn]

Just curious as to what people will be taking next year ?
if theres anyone going in a dodge viper can you take me for a spin ? lol

Im going in a mk1 golf convertible next year just doing it up at the min. Went in a new typr r last year and a leon cupra r the year before so its going to be a shock to the system ! no pas no ac no nothing ! lol although im sure having the option to pop the roof down will make up for all the bad things !
heres a few pics !

pray for good weather.........

[Gingerbread Man]

Was crap weather on the trip down this year. I had to faff about putting mine on and off many a time.

On the way back though, gorgeous weather.

[WhyTwo]

Worst "I want to show you pics of my car" thread ever! But seeing as you asked I'll be going in this again (stripes still on from this year)

Hopefully it won't overheat on the way down like this year!

[White-Noise]

How is the car coming along James?

[jameswhitburn]

thats a nice tvr ! whats the 95 stand for then ? its not miles per breakdown is it ? lol

yeah slowly chris , weather has been pants ! need to finish the trim on the door cards then MOT and gear linkage . then its the minor bits !

[WhyTwo]

LOL! It was supposed to ba a lucky omen - 95 was the number of the Racesport Penninsula TVR Tuscan T400R that finished 26 out of the 27 cars that completed the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2005. Didn't work though as we suffered a major overheating issue 50 miles from LM and nearly didn't make it there. We did get home under our own steam (excuse the pun) and without too much trouble.

All the problems were eventually traced, by TVR Power, to a wrong thread on the filler cap allowing air into the system and confusing the fans so they didn't come on and therefore the engine overheated. £12 part to fix it!

I will be boring and take an LDV convoy crew van as it's my first time. It will be under the theme of 'Convoy Support' for everyone else in something interesting. So if your broken down and need a hand, flag me down.

There are three of us going on thursday.I will taking a 2001 Astra 2.2sri,my mate dave will be in a 2008 Fiesta st 150(st500),our other mate is a car trader so no doubt he will show off and go for something far superior.
We will be taking a small toolkit and will be signing up for AA Europe cover just in case!!

CANT WAIT

[flattotheboards]

I will be going in my VX220, another mate will be going in his Elise S1 unless he has changed it for a tomcat or comp racer and the others will hopefully be in either a golf or a mondeo.

although hopefully without the snow and the roof.

Last year I nipped into Le Mans town centre for an hour or so and was giving French locals a ride around the block

[James_N]

I will be taking my S2000, although quite how im going to fit all our stuff in, is something ive not got round to planning yet!

[s55shh]

I should have been going in my Dennis, but sadly the new wifey has said no!

Don't worry though, I'll be back another year with something even better

Now that is tempting.

[drillfield47]

hopefully no more locking the keys in type activities for the viper???

Awesome car though!!!

I was the guy in the scooby who tried to help...............i assume you sorted the problem.

[fatboy18]

That's what happens when the passenger decides to get out of the bloody car with key still in the ignition and slams the door tripping the central locking
Thanks for asking if I needed any help the best help I could of got was to leave my so called mate back in bloody France But to answer your question, as I crossed over the road to the catering area I found a piece of stiff wire and within one minute the door was back open and we continued on our way home

I don't plan to take any one with me this year

My mates taken an S2K for the last 5 years. In about 2007 he had to wait for one of the lads to arrive from Bolton who he was giving a lift to. This lad then turns up late and with an abundance of stuff including pillows and "Big Boy" seat. It all got in.
