Hello all,
I'm off to Le Mans in my little 146 - stickered up of course - just wondering if any other Alfas are going? I know a re Brera is on one of the crossings, but at the mo it seems to be all TVRs and Porkers!
I don't want to be alone...
My 147 and I will be making the trip, complete with stickers! Camping with the TVR club (don't ask) at Houx I'm off to Le Mans in my little 146 - stickered up of course - just wondering if any other Alfas are going?

there is a bunch of guys going from Sussex/Surrey AROC - not sure where they are camping this year - I've been with them in the past but sadly can't this year as I'm working away and have just sold my GTV anyway
should be a camp of half a dozen or so Alfas and other....somewhere! lol

Houx Annex apparently - have a great trip guys - very jealous but not possible this year should be a camp of half a dozen or so Alfas and other....somewhere! lol
not least as I've not long sold the car, but more significantly am working in Ukraine! Have seen a couple of Alfa's out here though: 155 being used as a taxi and a 159 or two
I'll be going hopefully in my dark blue (Caribinieri colour)155 V6 if I get a huge list of jobs sorted on it in time, should be in convoy with my mate's late model 156 also in dark blue.
Give us a wave if you see us v. early Friday morning - I'll be the one on the hard shoulder with my head under the bonnet...

This Alfa was cruising the Mulsanne straight on Friday morning. Looked very nice.
As has been said: Bill's beastieThe last time I was at Le Mans (07) spent the journey there and back tailing that thing (or one of the 3 Spiders we were with). He was part of the group I mentioned were going over.

Yep, That's me. We cruised the Mulsanne a couple of times then went to the car show in Mulsanne village. Was well impressed with the welcome in Mulsanne: "Thank you for bringing your car to our town and here are tickets for complimentary drinks for you and your passneger at the bar down the road". Top bombing! In Blighty these days, you're made to feel like a pariah when you go out in a sports car.
Anyway big thanks to the people of Mulsanne. See you next year!
After that we had a x-country hoon to Arnage to watch the water pistol parades there. Excellent.
Hi Tony, Rick!

Maybe I should have gone for the Italian equivalent.
