The "Who's going to Le Mans?" thread

[the-gofer]

Right, chaps. We're all booked and paid up. Stickers are on the production line and the cars are all booked in for their pre-LM services and checks. So, who else is going, when and how?

We're trying the Hull->Zeebrugge route for the first time this year - we usually do south coast routes. Anyone else catching the Zeebrugge ferry on Tuesday evening?

Leaving it a bit late aren't you? You're missing out on those early drinking days - getting your stomach "acclimatised" for race weekend

burriana & blueyonder - Ferrari 348
PhoenixUK & Giles - Ferrari 430 Spider or GT2

That's strange - our booking isn't cancelled it just got transferred to the Rotterdam->Hull ferry.

Not really you probably already had a booking so you were transfered, when Ron went to book it the ship had already been cancelled and the Rotterdam boat filled.

Not only that, but you may not have time to stop off en-route and get hold of some quality DEATH. I'm thinking of getting a couple of varieties this year. The top notch quality brew I purchased last year, and a value brand for those in the Leon.

[the-gofer]

Ben's only gone and bought a girly car, one of these "Owdy TeeTee" things so I'm led to believe. So you might need another bottle of the "economy" stuff.

As punishment, you understand.

I may have to go off piste and try to find a ''value own brand'' version then. It'll be lovely.

Bit polite for you wasn't it Rich ... you could have easily said - It's cos that k**t Firth left it too late to do the bookings and bollx'd it all up

Not strictly true, but more entertaining

I did refrain from replying for fear of rubbing salt in the wound.

Still, you get the joys of driving up from the south coast on a Monday afternoon - a bit of variety for you.

[Vette_1978]

I'll be there again! Heading Portsmouth to Caen on Tuesday night then hitting the D-Day beaches before rolling up to LM for first practice.

Just booked Vette in for new exhaust on Monday so fingers crossed it's not going to lose any of it's thunder.

[therealpigdog]

I'll be there again - heading down weds morning and doing the tunnel if i get round to booking the tickets.

Girly owdee teetee for me, so economy falling over juice it is then.

[locodude]

Sadly not doing Le Mans this year, going to give the 'Classic' a go in July instead. Apparently it's quite a bit more civilised. At least it was before we get there! Enjoy yourselves lads!

No worries: The good news is that the economy falling over juice of which Jerry speaks can apparently also be used as octane booster, thus turning your girly car into a fire-breathing monster

Safe journeys all - anyone else staying on Houx? We should be easy to spot as we are going "Team Top Gun" this year.

Only use as a booster for a limited period, as it can disolve the block with repeated use.
