biggrin

I have to say, after seeing some of the antics last year, I really wouldn't want to be taking anything more valuable, what with people spraying your lovely ferrari / porsche interiors with water pistols and beer etc.

Option 1: Audi S6 Avant - Waftability, room for another beer fridge and assorted camping feng shui.
Option 2: Chimaera - Cook / drown (*delete as appropriate according to weather), pack light, enjoy every mile.

The Audi is perfect for a Le Mans trip, but if I dont take the Chim I need my head examining. What do you reckon? scratchchin

Well you said it there yourself.

I'll be taking the 1978 Corvette Pace Car on it's 4th trip to Le Mans. Taking a week this time round so look out for use during the scrutineering coverage on Motors TV.

This (the yellow one although the red one's coming too this year):



The Saab would just be too easy and boring. As for drowning/cooking, 2006 was a bit of both. Arrived in the middle of a thunderstorm and was then cooked for the rest of the week. Loved every minute and wouldn't take any other car biggrin

ditto (co-pilot) - we've now bought the bad boy range rover and after throwing copious amounts of money into the petrol tank on the journey home it is now ready to be transformed! pics will be up soon in the other thread...

Cool. thumbup

Just need to decide on the stickers. I've got a spare badger stripe from last year and the ear defender stickers are still on, but need to sort out the rest.
