Going this year in my 5.7vxr monaro with a couple of mates one who has a V8 vantage pro drive.

The question is to I go with the quiet pipes and have an enjoyable journey or do I through caution to the wind buy some ear plugs and put the noisy pipes in.

What are the French police like with loud exhausts. I believe it reads 124db. Horrible droney, but sounds epic when reving

Hurrah....will look out for you, won't be too difficult spotting you towing a TVR in bright yellow.

We have a strange brew my Ute with a Lambo and my Saab Aero support vehicle.

What part off the circuit you staying in ?? Will be walking round parts of the circuit, if we don't stay in the beer tent we got with draught beer etc beerdrink and a restaurant marquee with plenty off burger as part of the package we got. Usually we pigs in a trough when we used to go down years ago. But we gone posh this time biggrin

Ah as we are all snobs we stay off circuit at the Chateau D'Eporce and get a coach to the circuit. It suits us as it has real showers and they give us breakfast every morning. We do tent it though.

That's nice smile we are allegedly right beside the circuit and we will be probably total drunk and then we moan that we had no sleep for about 2 days and be totally fcensoredd when we get back home (so like usual really laugh )

Went a couple of years ago and one of the guys with us in a Camaro lost part of his exhaust getting off the ferry on the way!

Defo go loud!
