Free tyre check (and umbrella) for LM going PHers (Tunnel)

[Garlick]

Michelin has agreed to provide Eurotunnel-travelling Le Mans going PHers with a free tyre pressure check and tyre inspection. Up to you whether you take advantage but it's a good offer that we felt was worth sharing.

You can't miss it, it looks like this.



· Michelin will be providing a free tyre pressure and visual check on a first come, first served basis at the Eurotunnel on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st June, between 6.00am and 3pm (the most popular times for UK car drivers making the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans for the famous 24hrs race, they tell us)

· Michelin’s Fill Up With Air (FUWA) Van is equipped with multiple air compressors, enabling Michelin technicians we are able to check and re-set the tyre pressures in line with the car manufacturers guidelines. They will also be on hand to provide a visual tyre inspection and advice on how to get the best from the tyres in terms of tyre life, environmental performance and safety.

· It’s a free service, so there’s no excuse for not dropping in! And for PHers calling in, there’s also a special Michelin Motorsport umbrella to be claimed (for shading the sun, naturally) while stocks last.

· You’ll find the Michelin FUWA set-up just next to the Eurotunnel services car park, prior to embarkation.

Great idea and offer.

Shame it's;

a. Not there Tuesday when I go down.
b. Too low a gazebo for my (Michelin shod) motorhome.

The one that worked out that if it was there on Weds/Thurs they would have to give away more umbrellas, therefore costing them more?

Me too in fairness. I like chatting in the queue, and on deck, with other LM-goers.

[McSam]

Well sod you early birds in your motorhomes, my car will be there and will fit under the tent so why not tyres will be fine but I'm more than happy to add a free Michelin umbrella to my free Mobil one!

As 2007 taught me, one cannot have too many umbrellas..

Cheers Garlick!

Garlick.....top man! An offer from Michelin my 'driver' will take up

[taylor172]

[Gibo993]

Bugger we are getting the 5.48am train!! I want an umbrella (to shield me from the scorching Sun of Le Mans 2013)

Hurry up next week!!!!!

[Mattygooner]

Great Idea, but am on the Ferry also, need the fry up and fresh sea breeze!

[TonyHetherington]

That's a good idea I think - and good for Michelin too

Yes, lots go down on Wednesday, but far far more go down on Thursday and Friday

[muppetdave]

Well done PH/Michelin, shame though I'm going Monday and ferry-bound

[Garlick]

For those taking advantage of this:

Make sure you say you are from PistonHeads when you arrive to claim the gift

Another Wednesday travelling Michelin shod person here

[SturdyHSV]

I'll be giving this a visit, I've even got 4 Michelins PSS on there, so frankly they owe me a free umbrella! In fact, second convoy car is also fully Michelin booted with PS2s. They'll love us
