I'll be in Beausejour as well in a porto coupe.
Be as popular as 911's at Le Mans at this rate.

Were leaving on Thursday, getting the 8am train. Just had new clutch fitted by Roger and now there's a strange noise :o, so it's got to go back again tomorrow. Hopefully nothing serious. Gary

Hi Andy - good also meeting you! Out of those thousands and thousands of people, having a fellow coop owner a few pitches away was great! What a bugger about the car. Classic case of 'spoke to soon'!
I was worried about overheating in the numerous queues we ended up in at various points, but it all worked well and no problems. Took well over an hour just to get out of the camp site!!
Total miles from leaving home on Thursday to getting home on Monday eve was 1001! And not a single problem from the car so i'm seriously impressed!
Although i forgot to take the car out of 1st on the train home, and leapt forwards literally centimetres from hitting a DB9! Ooooops.
Cant wait to do it all again!

Just back from Le Mans and had agreat time. Unfortunately I also had an overheating problem, the fan didn't come on and we were sat near the entrance with coolant boiling out of the bonnet. The fuse keeps blowing, so had to rig up a quick fix by running electrical wire from the battery to the fan. There's also this weird thing that if I do short trips the car will not start and goes pop pop bang right underneath, when turning over and after a minute it starts. Apart from that the coupe was great. We were staying in Beausejour and I saw a superb red 20vt with graphite wheels and acouple of portofino blues. It was the first time with the coupe and to see all the petrol heads with such an array of cars from classic Bentley's to gt3 porsche's was just great.

I went down in my ink black 20vt and didn't see a single Coupe yet obviously there were loads! Was anyone in Maison Blanche?
The only problems I had were a warped disk and a faulty water-methanol injector but other than that I had a blinding time flashing past 911's and Elises etc...
