Any other "Team Langoustiners" in here?

[CocoPops]

Heading down to Le Mans with TL this year in their Tetra Rouge site, any others doing the same?
How's the preparations going?

Looking to start stickering up the car soon, thats the next job.

I'm heading over on the Wednesday night, staying in Calais somewhere then drive down Thursday morning.

Can't wait... getting closer!

[Hairy Mary]

Me too.
I am a Prawn of two years. They did a brill job last year and I can't wait to meet everyone again. It's a fantastic atmosphere and no chavs or Savo's.

Friday night in the Chocolate starfish (that's the bar at TL) is a real hoot, decent music, beer on tap and excellent company.
I am down this year on the Wednesday from Cherbourg and staying until Monday morning.
Get a TL Hardcore prawn sticker for your car and be seen.

We'll be TL virgins this year! From our sunday night reke of last year, did I imagine some sort of bbq set up? Definately remember the bar but not a lot else! Wasn't that done on a band/ token thing?

A group of us are staying at the TL site this year. We are displaced Houx Annexe refugees but I am really looking forward to it.

Me and my friend Rob are travelling on the thursday overnight from Pmouth to St Malo. Staying at Tetre Rouge Fri Sat Sun, to catch the 11 am Cherbourg Poole ferry home. 1st time at Le mans and cant wait. Booked a tent with Praxis tents.
Any suggestions what provisions we need to bring?

You're the two most unlikely virgins I've ever met!
Looking forward to joining you and the rest of the crew there on Thurs lunchtime.
Seriously thinking about changing Cobra for 996 Carrera 4 b4 then, so might leave jag at home and get there a bit earlier!
I've already checked and there's still room for the pig and a tent in the new steed so don't worry, Lincs Pig Worriers will live up to their reputation!

[dirtyboy]

strictly speaking no, but met a bunch the northern lot that are TLers on our first year down there 2 years ago. This said we once again found ourselves in the TL party tent in the early hours of saterday night last year singing along to 'Queen', brillant, so see you in june then!

Got the prawn stickers on order!

Hey Nick are you on the same ferry as us? Porstmouth - Le-havre 2300hrs?

[ZOMBIEFLESHEATER]

[Woza]

a lot of 'virgins' in this thread. 5th year in Le Mans for me and 2nd with TL - you wont be dissapointed, great bunch of guys and plenty of banter - not long now - see you all there,

Woza.

[CocoPops]

I went in 2007, stayed in Beausjour but it was f***ing miles from anywhere hence the decision to do this properly!

Really looking forward to it!

[ZOMBIEFLESHEATER]

I googled the site, great location, literally at the track, there is a mound by the site entrance, so not like Beausejour, cool box of beers on the mound when Im not in the grandstand (....need that cos it was 40 degs 2 years ago and rained like the piss another year). or chilling in the Chocolate starfish....cant wait, Veyrons all ready to go, no room in the Enzo for my hookers........

If you're a virgin, my mum gave birth to me with clogs on (me not her!)
Sorry to say, Carrera 4 plan now changed, looks like I bought an XKR this afternoon! At least we'll have more room to carry the pig in!

Hey Nick are you on the same ferry as us? Porstmouth - Le-havre 2300hrs?

'fraid not , were on the overnight from Portsmouth to St Malo which get sin around 8 am Friday.
Its about 133 miles to Le Mans, any idea how long itll take to get to the circuit on the Friday morning, what are the roads near to Le Mans likely to be like?
Queues?

TIA Nick

[V8 BYF]

Yes, this will be 7th or 8th year with TL. Absolutely can't wait.
The site (new last year) worked brilliantly with a decent number of toilets and plenty of showers that even had hot water!
The cold beers in the Chocolate Startish are most welcome on your arrival- or should that be from the moment you arrive until you leave.
I am on the overnight Portsmouth-LeHarve on Tuesday night,
46 sleeps to go

[John D.]

I'm going with TL too

First Le Man for me too!

[Griff Boy]

Hi Guys,

Another two TL first timers (would never have the guts to call myself a virgin on a public forum!)

First time at LM as well, so should be great. Are getting there on Wednesday so should be a fantastic, if slightly blurry, few days!

Anyone know where the name of Langoustine came from? Just curious.
