Le Mans '09
Anyone going to Le Mans this year....?
I'm off on Thursday and will be on the Portsmouth to Le Havre mid-day ferry. This is an annual event but my 1st time in the Striker ! (support
vehicle is an Audi S5)

I'm taking the Furore F1 hopefully in convoy with an AGM WLR.
We're on the stupid o'clock (6am) dover calais & staying on the beausejour campsite.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Pif, A few of things to take a look at -
1) Go to the St Saturnin on Friday, its a small village a couple of miles north of Le Mans, get there mid-morning, loads of nice motors to look at
2) Friday afternoon about 100+ from the P/head forum are getting together at Mulsanne
3) Friday evening/night in Le mans town is crazy, it all kicks off with the drivers parade but unless you get there early dont expect to see much of
the parade.
4) Saturday evening get yourself to Arnage, another small village but this time south of Le Mans, lots of cool cars cruise up and down the main
street.
5) Whatever you do you will enjoy, it all begins once you get to the port and France, you will see some incredible motors and most of them from the UK
!
Have fun mate but watch out for the French cops... us brits are easy pickings for speeding fines.

PS - Check out the Pistonhead - Le Mans forum, loads going on.

We will be there Wed evening. Driving from St Malo to the Expo Campsite. Our plan is to spend the Fri morning at St Satunin and then a quick blat down
the motorway (avoid the traffic aroung Le Mans) down to Mulsanne for the pistonheads meet(and Gulf photoshoot)
Hope to see you guys there.
