looking for a lift to le mans :o

[pingu666]

Hey , new member here, but been a member of midweek motorsport radio le mans collective, and autosport forums for ages..
I had hoped to get the eurostar to le mans, but didnt order tickets till i got my passport, thats been a big mistake, as tickets are now 225 each way

so im hoping i can hook up with someone or a group and get a lift.. mostly i just need a lift from a ferry to le mans, as i can get the train to the port in the UK quite cheaply, or wherever a kind chap/chappette would like to meet

also need a lift back for the return leg . im happy to pay a reasonable amount, and if im going, im intending to get a kangaroo tv, and take my camera, so im happy to share them and take pics for people

id prefer if possible, to get there for wednesday practise, but im happy with whatever i can get

luggage wise, im thinking a medium sized backpack and a wheely case thing, if that matters

and my name is paul menard, so u can find me on facebook . ill be traveling from the swindon area, but can meet anywhere where theres a train station nearby, pretty much

Friday to Monday any good? PM me if no better offers turn up.

Unfortunatley my car is full! but good luck getting a lift! im sure somebody will help a Le Maner in need!

We have a spare seat in a car for Monday to Friday heading up from Portsmouth to dover to Le Mans, if that's any use?

[White-Noise]

No room! Sorry!

I am sure someone can help you out so long as you are flexible

You beat me to it Nige! Return fuel from Sheffield to Le Mans and back in the '78 is normally about £100 each but this includes plenty of hooning once in LM aswell.

We've a spare seat in our Bambulance if you don't mind sharing with 8 rather mad Scottish guys - All we'd want is a contribution to the fuel fund and a few bottles of some fine beer for the fridge

If you were interested we're getting the ferry on the Wedensday morning, and coming back on the Monday night. Probably easiest picking up in either Dover or Calais but a drop off further north on the way back might be possible.

If you interested, drop me an email.

Cheers,
Tino

Take the Vette!!!

[pingu666]

thanks for all the replies chaps , vette is very tempting, but im gonna ring seb in just a min, hes fairly local and it should be a good package for me .

hoping i can get a ride in the vette tho, even if its just a short trip to supermarche

[pingu666]

well, i rang seb, and he just rang back to confirm i got the place

would love to have a ride in the vette tho, any chance of meeting up at le mans and having a ride in it?, ill pay for the fuel for a short trip

[pingu666]

had a call today, and it turns out the ticket was already sold/earmarked so still need a lift, gonna contact mr vette guy

[mrsxllifts]

We still have a spare seat for a friday to monday trip if you get desperate, you would have to slum it in a Bmw though!

[pingu666]

oh the horror , im pursing a few leads for the full thing, but i will deffo consider your offer

[zs]

returning monday to dunkerque ferry at 8pm. pm if you need to know more

[pingu666]

99% certain ive got a lift now with a very nice package . ordered a kangaroo tv, travel insurance and a extra 2 cards for my camera (not 100% ill get those before i leave tho)

those who have offered me a lift, pm me your mobile number, and if possible ill see you at le mans and buy you a drink or sumin

Hi Paul,
Sorry you could not come in my 71 vett. i am camping opposite the airport terminal, maybe we could meet for a beer. Hopefully a few vett people meet in the bar which is on the left side of the main tunnel on the rightside. It normally is a big beer tent. Good luck.
Pete.
