The Le Mans 24 Hour - 16/17 June 2007

[Jon_Bmw]

75 all the way. thats 2950rpm in 6th Still only 26mpg though

[e36guy]

This trip is all sold out again. Just signed up most of the Top Gear production team would you adam and even it?!

Still don't think all of you are using the whiterabbit forum yet. That's where to get your info now. Chop Chop!

[herman]

Not sure on the logo, hate the type face.

What do I know I'm only a Graphic Designer sorry mate.

Think you missed a great opportunity.

A bit twee.

James Hunt days are long gone.

Oh, White Rabbit name works but the image needs to be a more Beefy

Only my subjective view........

[e36guy]

Well opinions are always welcome but you're a lone voice!

[Dan318-is]

so are jeremy richard and james coming then

I think it works

[herman]

You can see on the logo the typeface is filling in. When you start using it across all media, you will see the limitations. What works on a back lit comp. screen, fails to work on other media items. Mainly the type is too fine and the relatonship with the graphics logo is too great.

ie BMW, SHELL, Ford, M&S, BOOTS

Simple logo short words

And Cotty should have 'Cotty from Orpingtion' as his nick name, not catchy is it? Mind you it does sound regal.

[e36guy]

Not experienced any problems with the typeface so far .....









....and the name White Rabbit Racing has some sound reasoning behind it

[herman]

Thats ok, I have comments but this is the wrong place to bring them up. I know it was me that started this, so I'll finish it, we could talk at Le Mans if you want and you can tell me your plans? Looking forward to the trip.

[e36guy]

Pop into the hutch mate....www.whiterabbitracing.co.uk - click on the bunny

[ajm-e30]

im really itchin to go!! the time is passin sooooooooooo slowly!

[Dan318-is]

what does the logo mean??

[ajm-e30]

guy can i have 2 of them logos for my black car please mate??

[e36guy]

If you have ordered a sticker pack Adam you will get 2

[herman]

A logo is the white rabbit and BMW badge is a logo.

[GingerTim]

I don't care what the sticker's look like on my car, It's all part of the experance that i want to be part of. Think it'll add to the excitement and a good laugh! I'm sure it'll make some people look around where i live! It's all good and remember, you only live once!

[Cotty]

what does the logo mean??

Its a white rabit in a race suit. White rabit as in Alice In Wonderland, follow the white rabit but this time its to Le Mans.

[ajm-e30]

getting really bored of waiting for this to happen now, how many of us are goin to the pre le mans meet in may then??

[DRIFTBOY]

I'm crapping myself! I intend to do loads of stuff to my car before setting off, including putting another engine in. I've got sooo much other stuff to do I'm starting to panic though! Could do with a few more weeks!

What is and where is the pre LeMans meet?

Martin.

[Jon_Bmw]

Arg damn it, I had forgotten about this, now i'm all excited again

I think I might opt for breakdown cover on this trip, just did a quote with the RAC and its £59. Anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

Martin, log onto : http://www.whiterabbitracing.co.uk/

And go onto the hutch(its a forum) for this years Le mans activites.

How come you are changing engines?

[DRIFTBOY]

I've been on that site - I'll have another look for the pre LeMans meet when I'm more sober!

My current engine has had issues before and after I rebuilt it.
Now, in trying to cure one problem I created another, a huuuuuge oil leak from a cracked timing cover. I'm planning to sort this engine and turbocharge it.

So, while I do that I want to buy another engine and run it with that while I fix and turbo my current one.

And so far, my car has averaged about 600 miles per mechanical failure. So by law of averages, I AM going to break down on this trip!

I am very excited too though! Can't wait!

Martin.

Ah damn

We'll be able to do a zone bodge on it i'm sure if it breaks down. I don't fancy towing an e30 all the way back through france on a tow rope!

[DRIFTBOY]

It'll be ok.

I've got a spare everything now and I'm taking all the tools I can think of that I might need. I'll bodge anything if I have too! My passenger is a bit handy with a spanner too.

So if anyone else has problems we'll help them too if we can.

Nice to feel a community / team like spirit!

Martin.

[Jon_Bmw]

Between all the zoners going, we could probably knock up a spare e30, well minus the jacking points anyway

The only reason I am thinking of getting breakdown is for that reason, no one is likely to have any audi 100 s4 spares are they. And i'm coming back later on in the week on my tod. And i don't have a spanner handy passenger, the misses won't be to impressed if she has to get her hands dirty

[DRIFTBOY]

Both me and my passenger have European break down cover!

I'm also changing my rear springs before loading up with tools, spares, booze and camping equipment!

I'm going with RAC, they takes some vans down to Le Mans, presumably with their "best" mechanics. So easy access to a van load of tools should you need it

[ajm-e30]

i got european cover with my insurance anyway

[Dan318-is]

the pre le man meet is in early may it hink may the 12th is at clapham common (a pub near there). I intend to come along but it depends what is going down with my exams etc at the time.

59 pound for four days cover is bloody steep! I think im insured but breakdown cover is a must with a 15 year old car i think

Il have a look around later, maybe a group doscount or something lol?

[ajm-e30]

be good if all of us attended the meet just to faces to names and so forth

[andyborris]

Watch out with breakdown cover, check that they will recover the car regardless of cars value. You may find that if the value of the car is less then the recovery costs, they'll write off your car.

This happened to me in France with a MG .

Exactly!

I've put my name down on the list for the meet. It would be good to meet each other before we go.

[e36guy]

Well done y'all.

You're sticker packs will be posted out over the early May BH so you've time to get them all on before the May meet. If you've got the balls to wear them for a month!

[ajm-e30]
