Bob, are you going this year?

No coupe this year unfortunately, GT3 instead

How gutting!!

No, no Porsche club. In Karting Nord again, friend works for Sebah so will be visiting that garage. If you can get any pit passes they would be warmly recieved

Heading down early on Sat morning cos cant get the time off work. Gonna be a bit rushed but looking forward to it anyway. Have camping booked in the blue camping area. Will be in a ink black 20vt t reg. seaa ya there!

Just got my Houx Annexe camping ticket! we're heading down early Thursday morning in my mates Volvo C70, getting pretty excited now

If you see a car or shirt with this logo on:

Clicky
Come and say hello. If we are in camp come grab a cold one, have to trek to karting though

was a great weekend!!!

Some amazing cars on show, only saw 2 20vt.

Did anyone see our General LDV van??

Was a great time there.

Massive thunderstorm on the Wednesday night which shook the ground, followed by chasing a pikey out of the tent in the early hours of Thursday Morning

Blazing hot the rest of the time, good racing, good bbq, quality video of one of the Astons trashing it on the Porsche Curves after 20 minutes

Oh and the Tropicana Girls - now how can I justify those pics to the gf?

Nice drive with the new motorway. Only saw a green coupe (plus alloys) in an enclosure. There was an Murc and GT3 in same enclosure.

Didnt see your General LDV van, but saw an A-Team van

So many highlights
The brown Allegro, the Matt black Rolls Royce, the 2 guys dreesed up as British Police in a Silver Cobra, who I heard were actually directing traffic at one point

and although I was warned, I really was stunned with the way the French pikeys take absolutely anything thats left behind.....

Great weekend except for some kind English person who reversed into me as we were leaving the carpark on Friday morning - I was really pi**ed off at the time - small dent in the front of the bonnet. Hopefully the insurance claim should cover for getting rid off all the stone chips though, so maybe a good thing!

Rest of the weekend was brilliant as usual, hopefully the Astons will win next year... Think we said that last year too.

There was a blue 20VT in the same campsite as me (Beausejour), saw a couple of others, and all the usual interesting cars.

It was my first time to Le Mans this year. It was absolutely brilliant. Had only had my 20v turbo (ink black) for about a month before the trip down. I felt the coupe was a nice car to take because it was quick when keeping up with convoys on the trip down and back. It is also quite rare so it wasn't too feeble in comparison to the exotica present. Quite a special car especially when every frenchman seems to have a sh@tbox diesel 106 or similar.

Highlight for me was the noise of the Corvettes (sound like a spitfire) and the drive home after the race accompanied by all sorts of exotica - TVR's, Porkers, Lambo Diablo, Countach, classic Alfa's etc.

Also had to laugh at the M3 CSL that flew past us on the way back when we were cruising at 100, only to be pulled by the Gendarmes two mins later. Hope he did not get a ban as i have heard a few people that had.

Gonna go for longer next year though and will hide ALL things away as the local pikeys robbed our folding chairs on Sat evening.

Mat59, I', sure i saw you driving your Coop! I think it was u and a mate!!

The bleddy Pikeys!! We were lucky to get back to our van 5 mins before they drove round nicking everyone's stuff on the Sunday!! " I fooking hate Pikeys!"

Anyone see the Fezza F50?? We got the dude to rev her up!!! WOW!! Highlight of the weekend!

Dave, he was probably doing about 160 when he went past us. That guy was on a mission. Forgot to mention that we chased a 911 and Sagaris through Le Mans town centre on the way back. Great fun!

Forgot to mention.

On the Tuesday before I received a call from a mate who works for the Sebah team (they were #89) and offered me the position of Pit board man for the race. Needless to say even though it was a great offer, I didnt fancy sitting there in overalls for 24 hours non stop in the blazing sun
Maybe if there werent a group of us going but how could I miss the beers and other stuff?

To be honest, I think that would be superb fun for the first two hours of the race, and then it would become such a chore! You'd see people walking everywhere with their plastic biere pression grands (s'il vous plait) and would die of longing for a cold beer... Torture
