Le Mans

[RossP]

Heading off for Le Mans 2 weeks today. Anyone else heading down from the Midlands?

[esso]

Yep.....3.20 am Friday morning Eurotunnel....after the Bruce Springsteen concert at the Ricoh...can`t feckin wait.

[sone]

Yep a few of us 9.50 Chunnel on Thursday.

[MrC986]

Sone, see in the queue for the tunnel for the 9.50 train. l'm being chauffeured in a suitably stickered 911 & will have a Fezza California very close behind

[sone]

I'll be with Speedster356 in his Ultima Can am. See you there!.

[356Speedster]

Hoping I get it registered in time, eek!

Don't forget RichA's S200 and TimBRS in the stickered up Focus RS (I'll not mention Uncle Fester's shagging van)

[B16DSS]

I will be sharing the drive down in my 911 with MrC986. As we have all day to get there reckon we'll do the scenic route via lunch stop in Honfleur. Will detour to west of Rouen to avoid traffic. We will be staying on the PH Bleu Nord site. Anyone up for the convoy? Have a Ferrari California with us. Will be staying in Ashford Wednesday night if anyone fancies linking up then for a precursor beverage.

Indeed I didn't (-:

Is Uncle Fester hanging out with the 'yoof' now with Dub van then? l hope he can keep up with his convoy colleagues

[MrC986]

^ loaded just for you RossP! The stripes were a slight 'mare', especially on the curved front bumper.

Sone - Is Uncle Fester putting any delivery van livery on his 'ride'?

[RossP]

Looking good! Going to attempt mine at the weekend!

Cheeky fecker.

The love bus will hit a ton, so I will have no problems keeping up. Having said that, after failing to get my arse in gear and book the crossing, I will be taking the 8.30 crossing and will wait for the rest of the convoy to meet up with me France side. That assuming I don't get strip searched at Dover.

[MrC986]

BJW...I bet the 'rock & roll bed' will be more comfortable than my airbed & I bet you have 'orders' to collect from the hypermarket whilst you are waiting for the rest of the gang Hopefully we will see you at Folkestone as we are on the 9.50 train after you & we might be there earlier due to the excitement. Only 8 sleeps till I start my trip south(we are staying over rather than hacking down in the rush hour etc)

I'm up at 5am to get to Folkestone for 8am, so should miss the traffic.

I'm starting to get excited now - I can hear those corvettes as I type.

[RossP]

Also planning for a 5am departure!

[MrC986]

Ross, top work. See you at Folkestone or Calais....where are you stopping for lunch? - PM if you want...we are taking the scenic route!

[RossP]

Not sure on exact route plans yet as it's my first Le Mans. I think the idea is to go motorway for the first leg then smaller roads for the last part.

Drop me an email with your route if you fancy meeting up / convoy.

[Chr1sch]

awesome, we are going first thing friday, when are you off?

[gwp]

We're travelling down to the tunnel vicinity late tomorrow evening with a 7.20 crossing in the morning.
Same as others we're autoroute to get some miles covered (Abbeville) and then the smaller scenic roads to the outskirts of Le mans.
Fingers crossed for at least a dry trip!!

[MrC986]

GWP....pm me with where you are staying? Im in a 2 car group staying at a nearby Tlodge to the Tunnel. Heading south at teatime tomorrow.Only 1 sleep left!!
