The story currently is that Ash and Obes are not yet sure whether they will have to race their new toy over the Le Mans weekend. Both appear to want to go to Le Mans but need to complete so many races in their series to be able to race at Spa in the 24hr (I think that is the general problem). They do not think they will have made up their minds this side of Christmas.

Therefore, Obes is not a great bet to organise our trip for us ! Richard has joined ClubMS and has booked himself and myself (and Louise) in from Thursday to Monday (12th - 16th June) as before. He did this on Friday. We are likely to get the same ferry (0700hrs Speedferry from Dover to Boulogne and back on the 8.50 Monday night).

I am not sure of the price for the ClubMS but I think that Speedferries is the only discount for groups available and that is not huge.

Therefore (again), get yourselves booked into ClubMS before it's to late and then we will see if we can pick up a discount on Speedferries in the next couple of weeks if we can get (I think) 5 cars on the same sailing. If people want to make their own way there and we all camp together then so be it.

Obviously it would be smashing to see you all again !

The list so far looks like this:

Erictheaardvark (Richard) - In his friends GT3
Erictheaardvark's friend (who is not Adrian with the bad back at the moment) - GT3
Stillgrinning (Ian) - TVR Tuscan RR
Loopylou (Louise) - With Stillgrinning

I've just started planning a 6 week trip to India for next year, and as soon as we've decided what we want too see we will know when the best time is, I'll know in the next couple of days. I want to go, but I won't be letting it spoil my trip of a lifetime...

It's hardly the trip of a lifetime.......you went last year, and you know the best time of year to go........12th to 16th June........ I am sure there is a curry house somewhere nearby, if not Chinese on the Mulsanne straight ?

Doubt I'll be going next year, as my race calendar has a provisional race for the LeMans weekend, which is a bit of a bummer.

No doubt it'll be another classic year, although I think the pug might just pull it off this year, as long as they can stop the drivers from trying to take each other off !

Yep booked 3x usual suspects +1 for ClubMS next year. Drawback is shelling out full price up front but hey, call it 'forced saving' so come June 2008 it'll seem like a cheap weekend! Hoorah hussar! Can't wait..... just gotta get me some wheels........ ummmmmmmmmmmm decisions, decisions do I go for exotic and flimsy or solid and reliable...... This calls for too many beers and an itchy mouse finger on ebay - who knows what I'll get maybe a 'lehearse' to rival the 'lemambulance'

Sounds like a fine plan - wrap it in cotton wool in the weeks leading up to LM and break down at the first payage - marvleous! biglaugh

Are you referring to the "Ash needing a Red Bull and losing the ability to see" moment on the Autoroute? redface
