Stuff to Take

[snorky]

Anyone got a list of essentials ( not beer ) to take to LeMans . Now bear in mind that we're going in the Tiv so space will be at a premium. So Tent, stove, etc.... any tips from Tiv owners as regards getting round the "getting the roof out when the boot is full of camping sh*t" scenario would be helpful.

It must be a different Le Mans to the one I've been to!

You dont take the beer, buy it when you get there!

Essentials
- Toilet rolls
- Chairs
- tent
- cool box
- Wet wipes (thats for the washing up of plates etc and an alternative to the shower queue!)
- Swimming trunks for the pool(s)
- Binoculars
- Camera and lots of film/memory
- Sunnies
- hat
- Bacon
- toilet rolls
- bacon
- a bit more bacon and another couple of toilet rolls
- frying pan
- stove
- supersoaker
Cant think of anything else essential. Tickets are always useful though!

the bigger the better. Have to say I was mighty impressed with Mungo's effort last year. Quite a greeting as me and Psychobert crawled down the road between Camping Blue and Maison Blanc.

Snorky old boy,

You have the perfect Le Mans vehicle at your disposal. There's not much to compete with the Chimaera's cavernous boot. Believe it or not all this lot went in with the roof off. I'll be mailing out a list of Le Mans essentials based on last year's experience when I get a moment. You've done the hard bit anyway in booking the tickets, pretty much everything else can be bought in Le Mans.

Steve.

Edited to say : no I didn't have to leave Karen behind in Epernay either!

Just saw the two reprobates in Shnozz's old 'S' drive past my campsite so ran up to the side of the road sporting a water cannon and wearing my worst shirt! Worried weren't you Phil!

I was worried mate. Worried you had turned homosexual from that shirt you were wearing.

Shut it Clark Kent! I look nothing like Phil Collins in real life though do I?

who is clark kent? Adam?

Actually mate, I have to admit, when Psychobert said to me "do i get a point for Phil Collins on my right", I fell about laughing as I thought you looked a dead ringer that night!! - it was the afternoon beers at Maison Blanc with Mark and AllTorque.
