Is that the Routemaster that used to park in Maison Blanche? Where are you from? I seem to remember passing the sedate old girl a few times this side of the channel.
Yes, we camped in Maison Blanche a few times when we went in the bus. The picture is from back in 2002. We were based in Devon back then so we drove to Portsmouth and got the ferry over. It was great travelling at such a slow speed as we'd see plenty of exotica come past us and gives us a toot and a wave. One year one of our passengers decided to offer a bottle of beer to anyone driving a convertible. Happy times.

The great thing about parking in Maison Blanche back then was that from the top deck of the bus you could see over the fence and watch the racing.

[pedant mode]It's actually a Regent rather than a Routemaster. wink [/pedant mode]

Oh God. You thought my offer of hospitality was a d*ck-swinging competition.
How cringe. Your ego must be minuscule.

I didn't actually, but now having reread your post it does actually come across as a bit arrogant.
An offer of hospitality to demonstrate that we can have "fun" is apparently "arrogant"?
Someone needs to take your shovel away... laugh

You're welcome to come find our marquee on Houx to discover the truth - you can watch our TV, listen to great music on our PA system, have a fresh pint out of our keg and play beerpong with us.
We're pretty accommodating neighbours, having had ~60ppl in our marquee a couple of years back to watch the rugby at 9am.

Not finding massively repetitive internet jokes funny isn't a barrier to having a good time at Le Mans. Unless you're some kind of weirdo...
This sir sounds like an awesome tent.
