Le Mans 2008

[Ziggy]

Only 6 months (ish!) to go until Le Mans!
Quite a few of us went last year, & Guy (White Rabbit Racing) is taking bookings again very soon...

There's also the potential to go for a more basic campsite (no Bar, BBQ etc) & save (a lot!) on the fees. What's anyone's thoughts on that?

Simple question: Are you going?

1: Ziggy & co-pilot(s)!

[march109]

I want to, not sure if my e30 will be on the road in time. John do you need a crap map reader?

[Ziggy]

Erm... I already know the way, already have at least one passenger (Mark from last year's coming, but lots more interested mates too!) and the satnav worked fine last year too... but don't let that put you off!

I may well have a spare space (depending on what car I end up taking & who comes), but you can pretty much guarantee that someone from here will have! Do it!

1: Ziggy & co-pilot(s)!
2: March109 **** looking for a seat! will pay my way in petrol money and beer tokens

[Ziggy]

Excellent There must have been 10ish cars from the zone there last year? I'm sure you'll find a seat! Especially as pretty much all the costs are per-car...

[blitz877]

i only did it to make the trip more interesting

[blitz877]

pm replied kev

[march109]

Should be a laugh, I'm looking forward to it allready.

[Jon_Bmw]

I'll be there.....unless I do the nuburgring instead this year. Kevin, PM recieved, i'll reply on the weekend fella.

[blitz877]

i was thinking of going straight to the ring after for a few laps

[hoshy]

oh deary me. the roads to le mans have got some hairy overtaking spots with all the trucks! I almost ditched at when I ended up face to face with an articulated

Pretty serious maybe for me. Never made it to the real 24 but been for the karting 5 years running.

[blitz877]

you'd love it mate

[hoshy]

yeah. I've heard it's awesome. I've even got photos from inside the stands etc so I really should see it properly sometime.

[Jon_Bmw]

i was thinking of going straight to the ring after for a few laps

With 200 kilos of shite in the boot. The 320 might do a 15minute'er

[blitz877]

aint got that no more john, im aquiring all the parts needed for 325 conv on my 316

[Jon_Bmw]

Just messing, mine would have aquaplaned off at the first corner. I don't think it would be a great idea, le mans then the ring, as you'll be frigging nackered. Not a lot of sleeping gets done at le mans does it. Then doing laps of the hardest(?) circuit in the world.

[blitz877]

its the only time il get to go anyway so might but probably wont, havent made up my mind yet

[march109]

I'm up for it, I can stand track side with our crap looking like a wierdo!

[agreen]

i want a seat !!!

[blitz877]

someone will have a spare one mate but my bm is converted to 2 seats only

[march109]

i want a seat !!!

post up your details in the list like I did, I got a seat in a couple hours!

[blitz877]

only cos i felt sorry for you

[march109]

No change there then, its how I usually get laid too.

Well said. I heard someone fell asleep at the wheel last year as it was...


So people - have a look at the white rabbit link at the top of the page & decide if you think it's worth the cost... I'm happy to go with the general consensus but it'd be good to get us all together wherever that ends up being!

yeah yeah i no what your sayin mate so might not be the best idea really

[1an]

i know what i will prefer to do Ziggy, and thats to go with what my dad said to you.

[blitz877]

[1an]

[blitz877]
