Anything about Le Mans. If you're going to the 24 Heures du Mans in June 2006 or the Le Mans Classic in July 2006 - talk about it here.

The Annual 24 Hour Race, this year over the weekend of 17th/18th June 2006

Hi folks,

I've been going to Le Mans now for 12/13 years, it's an experience every 'petrol head' should sample. Basically, it's a 7 day piss-up with a long race tacked on the end!

This year I'm taking the GT6. Is anyone else planning to go?

I'll be camping on 'Expo', and our group includes a 1958 frogeye Sprite, Mk2 Sprite and the odd Mondeo & Galaxy for baggage!

If anyone is going or is interested in going, follow on for this posting and I post contact details.

You'll find more company in the Le Mans forums -> http://www.tssc.org.uk/messageboard.asp?board=lema... (even if we do need to nudge Craig Gingell to update the forum description - 16/17 June 2007 Craig).

Seems to be 3 or 4 of us going down in Triumphs - I'm in Houx, Ian Johnson in Beasejour, James Dennison in Bleu Sud and yourself in Expo (OK, own up. Who's covering the 1 Triumph per camp site for the Annex, Tertre Rouge, Chapelle, Karting Nord and Maison Blanche?).

Looking good for a Triumph convoy out to the Great British Welcome (see threads).

Mark,

I'm still fairly new to the site so sometimes the 'click' goes in the wrong place.

You've seen the reply to 'the convoy'.

We need mobile nos' etc. But more importantly storage capacity of 24packs, solid food is an accessory!

Jerry

I'm going to ask for mobile numbers via email closer to the time because
1) I wouldn't post my tel. number of a public forum so won't ask anyone else to do it.
2) If people send them now I'll loose/forget them by the time Le Mans comes around!

Well, it's five weeks till I catch the ferry, and jobs to do are piling up by the bucket load and not just to the car - there the taps in the kitchen and shed foundations at my Dads. Extension roof replacement at my place. Luckily work work is slowing down until July.

I've got my camera! But need to find my passport.

Have to service the purple peril, sort out front suspension. Then decide how I'm going to pack it with mine and my palls gear. Luckily we have a 'crewbus' along but packed fully with necessities like a FRIDGE, tents

and 'clubhouse' tent. The scalextrix won't fit in though!

Mark, how is the convoy organising going to the British Classic on the Friday? I must admit that the route you posted elsewhere is good.
By Thursday the CRS will be in the area in their hundreds but most of your route will not be covered by them so hopefully it will be a GOOD run.

I've told 'erindorz' to pray for good weather. Her version of good is peeing it down when I'm on a lads week.

As an aside, my little wifey is a great cook.

She dose toast by breathing on it!

Jerry

Well WAS going to post a message and PM people asking checking who was still interested/if the time was ok/asking for mobile numbers but then a powercut yesterday killed my mail server

Hopefully that can be fixed this evening and I'll mail out later in the week.

Mark

Mark,

Any further progress on the LM subject? Particularly the St Saturnin trip.

In respect of camping, we have recieved our tickets for Expo. So, do we know who, how many and where people have been billeted.

I'm also a member of 'Club Arnage' who seem to be mainly based on Maison Blanche and Houx Annex, and they are planning a similar Friday run. I would prefer to do a Triumph run because of the cammerarderie.

As an aside, Friday night, the Club Arnage guys have a party at Maison Blanche - half way down the site towards the Porshe Curves - look for Dutch flags. There is a stage and beer for members, but we have a band and it will be fairly loud. So if you're into blues etc, give it a try.

Our ferry is booked for Monday am at Newhaven (Trans Manche) really cheap. Our only problem really is negociating Rouen, but hopefully will avoid most traffic.

Speak to you soon.

Jerry
