Before, I get redirected to the Le Mans thread, it seems to be a completely different animal.

Anyway, I've got an old '66 Rally Mini (Blue/White roof). Which will hopefully be in one piece after the rolling road tests!

So, will any of you lot be coming? If you are, how will you be recognisable? (I will be driving within the speed limits-ish)

Booked and paid for months ago!

We will be in a couple of 993’s, both with PH stickers on, both in dark metallic blue and both being driven absolutely no where near the speed limits, it is after all Le Mans!

The clock ticks ever onwards towards the grand festival of Uber Hooning

I'm afraid I'm not really a tent person! No room service you see!

My village is coming and we are bringing a support van with a barbecue, spares and booze. Hopefully, I can put the mini in the back when it explodes. Which it will.

Can't remember the exact line up but there are a few MG's, an old TVR, a Berkley (sp), very old Triumph and a big bunch of hillbillies ready to rock.

I'll be there. Staying at a site called Du Houssay in Spay (about 4km from Arnage) if anyone else is going there. I like a quiet life you see!

Yes depending on what part of Europe I end up shoved in next and assuming I have something suitably exotic to drive down in. Not too many variables there then

Hopefully it will be a bit less chavvy this year without the football.

I remember seeing your car on 'Mad Friday' last year parked up on the curves by one of the many PH meets!

Luvly!


..and yes going this year Maison Blanche again.

I've been with my son for the past four years, but this year the wife is putting her foot down! She reckons I spend too much time with my eldest son and not enough with my other kids (three girls).

Problem is my son is a pertolhead like me, whereas my daughters are into girlie things - not much fun for me (I realise this is selfish)! I'm still trying to think of an appropriate excuse to go this year. I've even got two tickets (ferry and grandstand, including pits entry) available if I need them.
