Any Midlands PHers going to Le Mans this year?

I've not been before and have booked on the PH campsite.

Yes, hopefully...a PH friend near to me is sorting it out in the PH camp (it will be the 1st LM for both of us). I'm just thinking of possible ways to appropriately logo my friends 911 yes If we could travel down in convoy part/all of the way, all the better - there maybe another 2 in our group as well. If you happen to be going to the MBC meet at Cosford in March, I will try and find you for a chat smile

No problem - a convoy sounds good! We are planning on travelling down on the Thursday and going via the channel tunnel. Where do you live? I am in Mickleover.

I am planning on being at the breakfast club meet too.

Also looking for suitable stickers for my M3!

We'll be heading down the M40, then M25, M20. We usually stop for fuel at the Tesco c.10miles from the tunnel. Could be an opportunity to meet up at Gaydon services in the morning for the run down?

I could be persuaded to go the M40 route as it's only 17 miles further and may be quicker at that time of day.

Given we didn't make the premium PH camp, it has been decided we live it up in a Tlodge close to the Tunnel on Wednesday night & see you boys in the queue or at Calais!
