Guy

The form is in the post and I have paid by paypal today.

[GingerTim]

Me and my mate are booked on the 16:01 return ferry to.

[e36guy]

Hahaha. 1601.

You need to leave Le Mans at 0800 to get that I reckon. I left at 11 to get the 1800 last year and made it with just minutes to spare. Many of our crew didn't make it! Didn't help that they had plotted the sat-nav wring and gone 200 miles in the wrong direction before they realised! I'm on the 1800 again this year.

[ajm-e30]

both cheques(£248) being sent today(monday) recorded delivery mate

[miniblob]

Guy - did you get my mail?? Sent my forms??
Haven't received them in the post yet - just wanna make sure i'm not missing out!!


Was almost thinking i could do some kind of temp dj install in the back of my touring incase anyone wants to party into the night when were there!!!!!
I'll have to see if i get my sounds installed by then!!
I s'pose if i at least get some sounds and my digi reciever installed, we could have the commentary on if people wanted it!!!

[Cotty]

Heads up for Guy

Guy

I saw on Pistonheads that you were talking about Speed Chills. I had a little search and found this
http://www.speedchills.com/

Can you shed some light on what it is and how it works from first hand experience. I had a read and it looks like for £35 you can buy food and drink (draft beer, wine & tea, coffee etc) and provides somewhere covered to eat and drink.

Is it worth it.

Cheers

Paul

Honestly, I don't know. I've not been. But you pay £35 for access, then you'll be paying for food and drink as well. Not that that's a problem for many of course. I will probably go have a look for no other reason as to pinch ideas for 2008! They are near to camp but tbh, you can nip down to the village of Arnage and get better food which is probably cheaper with no entry fee from anyone of the numerous bars on the high street

SpeedChills rents a Gite in the middle of the campsite. My contact at Le Mans is seriously pissed at the owner of said Gite as he is making money from the whole Le Mans thing but pays no 'royalties' to the ACO. They are going to try and stop him this year. That would be a shame for SC as I understand they run a good ship there. We'll have better in 2008 though!


@ Miniblob. Cheque rec'd thanks mate. As is yours Cotty!

[Cotty]

@ Miniblob. Cheque rec'd thanks mate. As is yours Cotty!

Sorry it was a bit delayed, I was laid up most of last week with a bad cough and was off work bed ridden

. We'll have better in 2008 though!

Im hoping if people have a good time it becomes a regular E30Zone meet/jaunt

[DRIFTBOY]

Sorry to be a pain Guy,

Could you confirm you have recieved my cheque too please!?

Thanks,

Martin.

[Jon_Bmw]

Same as martin, i didn't send mine recorded delivery

Sent it last Wednesday i think.

Jonathan Leach with the audi s4 would be the one.

[Cotty]

I sent mine Saturday I think, via normal mail

[e36guy]

@ Martin -yes. Thankyou
@ Jon - yes. Thank you
@ Cotty - yes. Thank you.

You e30zoners are almost all paid up. Putting the e36coupe crew to shame!!

[Ziggy]

Go on then - I'd best ask! Didn't post mine that long ago but you should have it by now... Jon Coman 325i cab?

[GingerTim]

Guy, what car you going in? all e30's apart from my mate's pug and a audi s4 is'nt it? out of the zoner's i mean.

[Jon_Bmw]

I'm the s4 if you didn't realise.

[Dan318-is]

dude were do i send payements too?! im confused! have not been keeping up with this thread! shame on me!

[miniblob]

@ Miniblob. Cheque rec'd thanks mate. As is yours Cotty!

Guy - you sure??? Don't remember even receiving the forms, let alone filling them out and sending a cheque!!!!!! Unless i was doing it in my sleep (quite possible at the moment actually!!!)


Whoops!!!!! Just searched my emails and found the forms - unread!!!!!!
Will fill them out and send them with a cheque asap!!!!!

[e36guy]

@ Ziggy. Pretty sure I have. Need to check when I get home this eve.

@ Miniblob. Might be confusing you with one of the other guys.

@Dan318is. You should have had an email from adventures@euro-gt.com with the booking forms. PM me if you have not.

@ GingerTim - I've just bought a beautiful minty mcmint arctic silver 1997 e36 M3 Evo with black leather. Only 72k miles and a bulletproof history so I'll be coming in that!

Some proper weapons in that list. I think we are going to get left behind!

Looking forward to seeing the mk2 vr6 already

[miniblob]

Guy
Ha ha, was just writing your address out to send my form/cheque and then realised i'll be driving past the end of your road on thursday night anyway!!!! I'll drop the form through the door with the cash if that's ok!!!!!
Saves me spending hours looking for my chequebook and then relying on royal mail (I have issues with them!)!!!!!

Cool with me mate. My number is on the forms and emails. Give me a bell and I'll come and meet you on the street. Be nice to put a face to the name. You can drool over my evo as well!

[e36guy]

Quick update y'all.

Firstly, many thanks to all of you that have got your cheques in in such a timely fashion. Much appreciated as it means far less worry for me.

There is even a waiting list beginning to form so to those that have not got their forms and cheques in yet, the deadline to secure your place is 5th March.

Cheers

G

[miniblob]

This is gonna be wicked!!!

Cheers for organising all this Guy!!

I'll drop the form/cash round tonight - i'll bell ya!!

[Cotty]

I just cruising down, too many plod with speed cameras. Im going to watch a race not be in one

[DRIFTBOY]

Me too!

I can't afford fines and I don't want the hassle - especially if I get banned or car confiscated!

[12345kevin]

Yep, no need to rush, cruise at 80/85 (speed limit if dry) and watch the awesome machinery come past ! and wave at those paying their fines !

[GingerTim]

Sound's like a good idea. We can laugh at the foolish

[Ziggy]

It's a proper nice cruise down there, roof down, at around the speed limit...

(wouldn't want to mess my hair up anyway )

Guy - did you check you got my cheque?

[Jon_Bmw]

Indeed, I was mearly worried as i'm a speed limit loser. Well plus 10% except 30 zones.

My licence needs to stay clean...forever.

Leave the speeding for track days

[powelly]

Me and the missus are going down with some friends and staying in a Gite just outside Le Mans, i`ll be taking the E30 so hope to see some of you guys there, this is the first time I have not camped at Le Mans. Will any of you be taking part in mad friday.

[e36guy]

Come and say hello then Powelly. We'll be spottable in the back of the Beausejour campsite. I will post up the new group logos when they are done and then will be getting some flags made. FYI, we'll be in Beausejour at the extreme west side of the site closest to the trees and the circuit itself

[powelly]

I know where you mean, will be sure to pay you a visit.

[miniblob]

Guy - i didn't put a colour for my stripes on the form 'cos i couldn't decide!!! Can you confirm what the options were please?? Is it just black, white, red & pink now?? I was gonna go for silver!!
