North-westerners going to Le Mans

[bluest2]

As the most important weekend of the year is fast approaching thought I'd see how many of my fellow North-westerners are making the pilgrimage. Let us know when and where you are travelling from, what transport you are taking and if you are adorning your vehicle with stickers. Would be good to bump into people on the way down, or whilst we are there.

I'll be taking the Focus, in full Gulf livery, in convoy with two very 80's white 911s, one in Martini get-up.
Departing Oldham on the Tuesday lunch time, stopping over in Calais ready for Wednesday morning ferry and a non-stop blast to Maison Blanche.

Over to you......

If I see that in my mirror I'll immediately swerve off the road and cower in the undergrowth until it's gone!

[andymaserati]

Our lot are going down, including:
myself & davesk
minimax & tomtvr
JSG & Alex

taking a Lotus Esprit (black), Lotus Elise S1 (Green), and i think a TVR T350t (silver)
we haven't sorted out liveries yet, and im not sure where we are starting from either.

It doesn't have any back boxes, only cats at the front so it sound kinda fearsome too.

I like the sound of that, what about flames on the over run?

No flames but it does have a nice deep "pop" on over run

Here's a little vid I did a while ago when I first installed the "loudmouths"

V8s always sound great but a loud exhaust really makes the difference. The bits filmed from outside the car sound very "Bullit".
