Le Mans 2008

[Ziggy]

Fingers crossed it'll be finished at the weekend...

This year we'll hopefully be in something a bit different


Low enough at the back to get stuck on the ramp on the ferry!

[blitz877]

i dont ned encouragement just waking up from time to time

[Ziggy]

So your taking Marks touring then? If I'm not driving I'll be partacking in tiple on the move! But I fear Ad will need some form of encouragement apparently there a lovely farm store just over the border that sells cattle prods, that may fit the bill!

I may bring the plastic sheet but I won't use it as a tent, its clear plastic and as the old saying goes "poeple who camp in clear plastic tents...... shouldn't get changed in the day light."

Different Mark! He drives a Triumph Spitfire!

Don't know what we'll be there in yet, but it'll be fun.

Something a bit different? your not gonna make your mates sit in the back of the caddy ala hill billy style.

I'd have to set off now, to get there in time!

[blitz877]

i was thinking of finding a modded P100 to take but cant find one

[march109]

I suppose I could always take the 405 with its optional headgasket delete, but we'd use more water than chip fat.

Should be a good trip, I'm taking my crash helmet and getting very very very comprehensive travel insurance though just to be on the safe side.

Why? I won't act dissapointed you couldn't find one!

[blitz877]

i like em, especially with a rover v8 in, you dont need travel insurance you need life insurance mate

[Ziggy]

Falling asleep in a V8 nailed to some ford tin. Well it's one way to go I suppose!

ha ha very funny, mind you nailed might be the right word this year

[march109]

I just want cover that includes an air lift to the nearest hospital. Alternativly a hospital in Sweden with stunning blonde nurses.

I reckon we can get it sorted by June! I'm up in Swansea again next month.

[blitz877]

i might look in to it then, no of any 2.8 capri altas axles?

[march109]

nope

[blitz877]

on the back of a recovery truck

[Ziggy]

Erm... I've got a 2.8 capri axle in the garage!

[blitz877]

just out of interest how much??

[Ziggy]

No idea - not had a capri in years! Will have to get round to looking up what it's worth at some point... make me an offer if you ever need it - chances are it'll still be there for years to come!

[blitz877]

il see if i can find a decent shell first













not bloody likely as its a ford

[Ziggy]

Sooooo...

[blitz877]
