The missus and I were maybe thinking of going to Le Mans this year in the 450SE - Wedgewise who's going then? and Whats the crack and cost?

Would make one hell of a chicken run.....

Was hoping to go again this year for the 5th time, but take the WSV instead of the Wedge and be there for fellow Wedges, but alas the tea maker can not get the time of this year.
So we WILL be there next year.
Tickets seem to be getting a bit scarce but you can probably get one from somewhere.

Rev and Gandalph are going I believe, probably FrenchTVR ? and a few other regulars

It's a great crack, superb drive down there good people and a race on somewhere

Planning to be going on the Wednesday in the wedge (of course) Speedferry crossing at 10:40am - camping in Maison Blanche along with Alan and the Surrey crowd I hope!
Tickets are pretty scarce for ferries & campsites too so you`ll need to get yer skates on Mikey - but its an experience you`ll never forget!
Let me know how you get on maybe we can convoy down?

This will be my first trip to Le mans in a TVR and I am really looking forward to it. Last year went to le mans with couple of mates on two Honda Balckbirds and my little burgundy westfield the pocket rocket!!

This year if the Chimaera completed I will be there!

I'll be there. It's my first time at Le Mans, and I'm going in the 390. Not sure about exact details, as it's being organised by a friend of a friend, but we're staying at Houx, and I'm going via Speedferries on the Friday morning.
Looking forward to the return trip, over 500 miles in one day . I think I'll be saying Eh?, pardon?, and you what? for a few days afterwards.

Admitedly, ive only had my 400 for three weeks but done LOADS of driving, expecially this weekend! No action from the cozzers at all though!

Must be the fact that the car is so discreet and quiet.....!

Unfortunately can't make the time for both, so going to the Classic this year.

Not sure what I'l be driving next week at the moment, let alone in June/July.
