Is anyone going?

Showing their car etc?

[shoebag]

Yes I am going on Saturday but not showing my car as it is not French.

[mattbvw]

I'm going on Sunday in a Twingo Renaultsport 133.

Can't wait - looking forward to the Bugatti T35Bs! Last year was a bit of a wash out so finger's crossed for sunshine...

I'm going on Sunday, just down the road from me, so no excuses! My car's Italian so no to showing...But it'll be (part) stickered up for Le Mans, so you might spot it! 'Shed to Le Mans' they all cried...

[RacingTeatray]

Ha! No! The Girl's Car Club (as we referred to them) were next door though. Mine was the green Z1, if you saw it.

[Juicetin1]

Excellent photos RTT, could you tell me what camera you were using? presumably a DLSR?

[RacingTeatray]

No, in fact it was just a normal compact digital camera - a Panasonic TZ5.

[Juicetin1]

Well Im very impressed, i was actually considering buying a TZ, the 10x zoom seems very impressive from your shots, this adds weight to my argument to buy one, thanks.

[RacingTeatray]

Yes, it's a cracking little camera and I've been very pleased with it - obviously there is a now a newer version out, which is doubtless improved yet further. Not the most compact of compact cameras (blame the 10x zoom) but for the price (I think mine was about £220 all-in duty-free in T5), it's probably hard to beat. I hear the next-one-up Lumix with the 18x zoom is also excellent, but it's not really trouser pocket-friendly.
