I love my coolbox

[Rs2oo]

Show and tell ☺️😁🤣

My first visit to LMS 24hrs was 2005 and I bought this cool box. 15 trips there and my coolbox is still going strong. In previous years was powered all day every day using a small petrol generator. Since then by a caravan battery or in the last few years electric hook-up in the Houx.
It's amazing, stays cool even in 2005/2006 when it was scorching.

Can anyone beat this ? (I'm sure you can !!😅)

We've got a large Igloo cooler that is of similar vintage. It is one of the 'Maxcold' ones that keeps ice frozen for the whole week.

I replaced the hinges and catches a couple of years ago with an official repair kit from Amazon so it should last many more years yet.

It was only £40-odd from Costco, these days they seem much more expensive even with inflation taken into account.

The only problem is you need a car large enough to bring it down in (takes up the whole rear seat in my Lexus).

If I had a dated coolbox it would have 2020 on it as we still went even though COVID meant access was restricted. Still managed to wander the museum, watched from Hunaudieries and took a helicopter flight.

I did miss 2009 due to being in hospital.

Apart from that 2005 was my first year as well.

Give it 2 days at Le Man and it will be gone. Ours got taken with all the food and beers inside. Seemed that who ever wanted them took everyone's

This is where having a giant coolbox that needs two people to carry and also wouldn't fit in a little French supermini makes sense

My caravan fridge deserves a medal too. Its been in service since 2010, providing cold beer all week, except for the covid years, and the caravan allowed me to isolate when I returned from Le Mans with a dose last year.

That's what i'm doing this year and bike locking it to the car so it can't be moved

I love your coolbox too.

Got me to thinking what I own that had been there every year and the only thing that's done every year is a t-shirt I bought on my first year (also 2005).

My MX5 NA has done a lot of trips, 2007-2019 inc. (First 2 years were an MG ZS180 and 2021-22 the TVR)

Few gratuitous pics of the MX5, which I still have and still love (even though the TVR is currently getting more attention)






Oh and the wheels have now been replaced so look much better

14 trips for the fridge freezer plus 2 Le Classics, sadly going to the tip soon due to no meet/dairy rules 🙁

Kiwis call their cool boxes "chilly-bins", it sounds better in their accent...

Of course it does mate!

My chilly bin is an all singing all dancing one that pulls down to a genuine -20°C on 12v or 240v. Cost heaps though.
