On the subject of PH meets at LM how about a 'meet up' on Friday Morning on the Mulsanne, a bit like the wedge get together last year,




Just wanted to promte this good idea.
About 10:00am sound good?
If the straight is packed full of police again how about we meet somewhere down by the mulsanne corner?

Or another good place would be the big sports shop that is half way down the straight as it has a large carpark.

Attendees, show yourselves! This year lets try and get a proper daytime meet.
(An evening meet never seems to work due to something called "1664", the number of the beer! (Sorry, another silly Iron Maiden joke there!))

EDITED: Just wanted to say that the meeting point is now on the grass between Arnage and Indinapolis corners. Details in the calendar.

LATEST UPDATE
I'll add this to the initial post so that everyone gets to see it.

The idea now is to meet at your camp site entrance and head of towards the Indy and Arnage corners between 10-11am.

If the circuit is closed then we will meet in the car park of the Decathlon car park, half way down the Mulsanne straight. (if thats closed as well I'll eat my hat!).

If anyone is interested after this we'll try and convoy down the mulsanne and end up South of Le Mans at Chateau du loir (or similar name) for lunch.

If all of the above fails we'll al sit by our own tents getting well and truly bladdered.

Between Arnage and Indy does sound like an easier idea.
Make sure your PH sticker is on show so we can recognise each other if there is gonna be lots of others!

a) I reckon we should meet Between Indy adn Arnage corners at 10am and then convoy down the mulsanne at 11am. Big grassy area between these corners for plenty of parking. We can also then stop at the sports shop with the big carpark half way down the Mulsanne afterwards.
b)I have saved it as a bookmark and will keep raising the issue to remind us all!
c)I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning! (At least it helps to get rid of the smell of all the stale spilt beer!)

Camping by the track is the ONLY way to do Le Mans!
Without that it just wouldnt be the same.

You are right that anyone that does differently is a girls blouse.

(Ask me when Im there if Id like a hotel room and I'll give you a completly different answer!)

I have requested an event in the calendar for this so we can guage the numbers.
Hopefully there will be a fair few of us.
150+ PHers were at Le Mans last year and we probably all stumbled past one another with out realising it at some point!
Will be good to have a proper sober meeting and convoy and then maybe meet up again in the evening and get stupidly drunk!

Perhaps after a meet between Indy and Arnage and the convoy down the Mulsanne the ones that are interested could then go for a blat to La Chartre-sur-Le Loir for lunch.
Le Mans just gets better and better.

If anyone wants a Convoy destination, then there are worse places to go on a Friday than La Chartre-sur-Le Loir....


Yes, it is our traditional lunch stop after Friady morning at Indianapolis/ Arnage/ Mulsanne.... always a good selection of very nice cars parked on the square.

I usually give you a toot when I drive passed!
We drive down on the Friday but this year will be coming down on Thursday instead.

If you drive past Chartres-s-Loire on the way from blighty then you are lost as it's to the south of Le Mans... or have I got the wrong end of le stick?


D'oh!

Well there is a another nice little village square that we go through on the way down and there is always a selection of exotica (exotica of your category!) parked out the front of a pub.
I assumed this was one and the same place. As usual, assume made an ass out of u and me. (well, just me really!)

Cuzza! See you on sunday at the PH southern meet to catch up with details (you had better bring the Elise, rain or shine!).

N17TVR - Not sure if its in the calendar yet. I requested it but its at Teds discreation whether it goes in or not. We are 23 cars strong but I dont expect all of my group to make it to the meet!

I'll give it a couple of days and then give Ted a nudge to put it in the calendar.

I really think an official PH meet at Le Mans should happen.
If we are all donning PH stickers imagine how good that will be for advertising when we convoy down mulsanne!

I doubt that.
But I hope to have a s'chimgrifftuscerbsagtyph350400r12wedge by then!

It will be in the same style as our last years LM car (the older Celica in my profile).

Im in both!
I ticked the boxes too!

I see there are a few feedback queries to Ted in the Website feedback forum. I guess there are some teething issues.

See you at VW Tony. (I can see that in your calendar, can you see it in mine?)

I have posted the details in the general gassing forum to attract a wider audience.

Last year over 150 PHers attended Le Mans and I met about 3 of them very briefly. Many others reported the same. Hopefully this official PH LM meet will bring us all together.
