Le Mans convoy !

[Mat C]

Hi there, my 1st post on PH but certainly not my 1st visit, i've been a regular visitor for several years now so why it's took me this long to sign up is a mystery !

Anyway, i'm off to LM for the 5th year in a row and will be getting the 7AM SpeedFerry from Dover to Boulogne on Thursday 12th but for the 1st time I wont be in a convoy with anyone ! I'm slumming it at Basejour too for the 1st time, previously i've stayed at Houx Annexe and Bleu Nord.

So is there anyone here getting that same ferry and camping at Basejour who fancies convoying down ? I have an MGZS180 mk2 in black with black wheels so i will be easy enough to spot in the ferry queue ! Let me know if anyone fancies a cool convoy down ! Cheers

We'll be on that ferry too, look out for a white integra type R and a silver civic

[Mat C]

Hi, i will do - i love those cars as that's where the ZS's routes lay ! You'll not miss my car ! I will be staying at the Premier Inn (Dover East) the night before.

[graememac]

we'll be just down the road in the ferry port premier inn on the wednesday night, only 4 weeks to go!

[Mat C]

Yeah, i can't wait ! It will be my brothers 1st year so it's extra special for him. What campsite are you on ?

[graememac]

we're staying on the houx annexe campsite

Have a look here http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0...

There are loads on the 7AM crossing

[millband]

Yup, and I'm one of them. Hopefully in a convoy with the gang from Yorkshire on Wednesday night, but currently billy no-mates on the ferry and in France - I'll look out for you at the port Matt! I'm going to Beausejour too.

Neary bought a ZS a few years ago but ended up with a WRX instead, still have a soft spot for them though.

Milliband, same ferry crossing - same campsite - fancy a cruise down the French roads hopefuly in the sun this year ?! Would be real cool if we can get a decent group going ! All i need is my PH window stickers !

[Simond001]

We may join in for the French leg if that's ok. Black 996 with stickers!

[GMS 500]

I'll get involved for the way down...
See the 'Le Mans and Beyond' thread

[Mat C]

Nice one , this is looking really good so far !

[Mat C]

GMS500, i've had a look at the LM and beyond thread and it sounds great but unfortunatly we already have plans ! Sure is something to consider for another year though !

[Greensleeves]

What time does this ferry thing land? We'll all be disembarking the trainy thing at about 9:00am if everything goes to plan so we should be there or there abouts.

No Bull!

Taureau rien!

[Mat C]

We should be disembarking at roughly 9AM French time as it's a 50 minute crossing. and Calais isn't that far from Boulogne so i'm sure we could meet up somewhere, maybe the LeClerc hypermarche' near Boulogne port ?

[jonesey]

Its my first Le mans trip this year and I am on that crossing with 4 mates. I'll be driving my camoflage covered Range Rover and would be great to actually meet some Ph'rs. PM me if this is ok?

Cheers

No need for a PM matey, the more the merrier ! Can't have a 1st timer making their way down alone now !

Don't forget France is an hour ahead Dave. We'll be an hour and a bit ahead of you on the road, but we could have a coffee and pain au chocolat at services and wait for you to catch up?

Indeed! Any pics of your stickers then?

Good stuff, well you'll spot me a mile off I would assume.
