I thought it was about time we had a run.

Also I'm looking for an opportunity to christen the new beast of a sports exhaust which is being fitted on the 12th.

Who's up for it?

I'll be in Le Mans buddy

Bring it down there - there's still a couple of spaces in the accommodation we've got booked, we aren't slumming it so it will be pretty nice! 15th to 20th

You know it makes sense, or just run down for a day... have a burger at Le Mans then go back - what an epic trip

I posted this before I saw your response on the exhaust thread

Tempting, very very tempting!

Mr Cheeky is right - bring it down to le mans, ill be there too (although not in the lotus sadly).

There is surely no better way to christen the exhaust than by a quick euro-blat with no risk of points on your licence...

No excuses...

Careful! They impound your car on the spot now in France for excessive speed - check out last months EVO mag!

Westover have managed to squeeze me in on Friday the 9th!

How about a Burger run on the Friday or a blast that weekend instead?

Chuff it I'm in London that weekend as I need to get some brownie point with the missus seeing as i won't see her this weekend or the le mans weekend!

If nothing works out and you get it done on the 9th then let me know and i'll meet you after work before i go to Le Mans to hear the beauty!

Agreed, caution must be excercised, they appear to be tightening up on big speeds .

I wanted to take it but on this occasion money was a bit of an issue (i.e. jobless at the moment) so going in a car with 4 seats made more sense and now looks like we will be going in an the anti-chapman inspired range rover 'sport' which is undoubtedly quick for a house but still the most inapropriate object the word 'sport' has ever been attached to but it was that or a hire car.

Soon as I get a job I'm hoping to get over to europe (and le mans next year) in the lotus.

Mini, Joe - DO IT!

Cheeky - how far away from the track are u based? Im going to be in HA camping.

Out Friday afternoon and back late Sunday night early Monday... basically a mad sleepless rush if it's anything like my normal run, money, just an entry ticket and beer money... no extra cost for me taking someone else with me in the car.
