We're going to the Classic in an Austin Healey 3000, can't wait! Anyone else going??

I'll be going in my Westfield, though I can't leave till Thursday evening So it's the overnight crossing from Portsmout to Caen, and shoudl arrive at Le Mans Friday morning.

I'm going in my R1 striker from Newhaven to Dieppe about 11pm on the 14th I think. Should be about 7 cars in the group and meeting a few more on route. Camping in Spay. Just need to get car finished, MOT'd, taxed and insured so not much to do!

We only have 2 cars going this year. My GT-R and a Robin Hood.
We will be going from Poole to St Malo on Wed afternoon with an overnight stop in Rennes.
We will be in the cattle sheds on the EXPO campsite so pop in and have a beer on your way into town.

We may even put the pool up again if it is as hot as last year.

The yorkshire sludge pumpers will be there, two indys and my Locost and a galaxy support vehicle, Portsmouth to St Malo on Wednesday staying in Musee this year.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Ben,
See you have popped up here now as well !!!
See you at Newhaven.
John

Someones getting excited?

Thought I'd better sign in as the aforemention Indy

1st one there - sticks the kettle on

Last one there - buys the beers!

On Friday we could ALL meet up at the Car4 - get the usual stumpies, Fench sticks and sweaty cheese - then convoy & take over Arnage and have a Locost meet

Just get Ben to Park his Cateringvan somewhere else (probably wouldn't want to be seen wiv us anyway - and be with his new exclusive mates )

Allan - To help make us easier to spot we could attach George cross flags

Or should that be... we could not attach George cross flags??

BTW - its gonna be a wet one this year, on the grounds that ....

A) I'm going
B) No wet weather gear!

Meet up is good but always manage not to actually meet up if you know what I mean. DOing the Indy meet on Friday I hope?? We could try and make a space there,

Suspect that we'd be in Arnage sometime in morning on Friday, Indy at lunch and early afternoon and then drivers parade in evening... followed by getting completly lost on way back... hic :-)

Simon

Lots of people going!

We are staying at a campsite in guecelard. a bit of a drive but we get to sleep at night.

Allan

Going out on Wednesday early evening with speed ferries so hopefully will be in Beausejour soon after midnight - going in my Fiat Coupe.

I'll be there - Blue F355 Spider (not mine!) and a Mondeo ST220.

May have a spare Speedferries crossing and camping permit as one of my group may have tp pull out.

Leaving a 2 weeks on wednesday!

Just got the team merchandise sorted out, ordered polo shirts for everyone, but though i would set this up so people can get extra t shirts if they want.

Feel free to order a t-shirt, would be funny to see someone walking around with my design on it!

BTW - greggors84

- wot a cool avatar pic/anim

Cheers for that, seems an absolute age since it was up on tressles under the barn.

I guess it was really! Ive been on this site almost 3 years.

I've posted a little montage of '04 (doesn't seem to be firefox friendly)

http://media.putfile.com/LeMans-04

Cant for the life of me find the full length and "larger" file version (I'll post that when I find it)

For me, this was the start of all these shenanigans.

The 1st snippet is the 1st time I'd been in a BEC - dunno if you could tell!

Hope it gets you in the mood

I am going to brighten up Maison Blanche with an orange tint.

I am just wondering how I am going to fit in the neccesary luggage and still have room for beer.

Not booked a crossing yet but guess it wil be the tunnel or Dover-Calais.

Anyone staying in Camping Bleu?

I will be there from Wednesday with the RHOCaR guys if anyone fancies a beer - Look out for a Mundano ST220

If anyones interested Ive found the larger and full version - easier on that eye strain!

Also putting the tent up! - complete with Benny Hill soundtrack - (well... makes me chuckle)

A handfull of car pics..



LM06 group



LM06 CP1



LM06 CP2



LM06 cheap plate

We were in bleu. Went past the RHOCAR pitch a few times as it was by the entrance wasnt it. We were a bit further up just the other side of the toilet blocks.

I see you have a picture of the Farboud GT, no one i was with knew what it was, so i could use my anorak kit car knowledge and impress them!

Our camp, i did sort out the flags in the end, and added a club arnage one.




An early picture of our beer mountain, it did get bigger, but was still a poor effort considering the amount of us. Alot of shandy drinkers!

The Farboud had its badge taped over on the Saturday!?!?

The beer walls ... I did notice that some were cheating and using silicone sealant!

[Edited on 26/6/06 by skidude88]

The farboud had the same discount supplier number plate last year.

Havent Farboud stop making the car, i think another company have the moulds and are selling them to fit on the Ultima chassis, an ebay link was posted here a while ago.

I guess the can't badge it as a Farboud anymore, the black tape looked a bit temporary though!

We are taking a tin top down as the Pheonix is not finished. We shall be on the same boat I think, leaving at eightish in the evening on Wednesday. Do you fancy breakfast in St Malo? Cars can be left in the ferry car park and it's a 5 minute walk into the old town.
