Anyone else noticed that they have updated the website?

http://www.lemansclassic.com/2004/

Seems to have the most irritating noises in the shop pages !!
Ooh ohh, I really need one of those bodywarmers - it might fall below 25 degrees next year!

Maybe we should offer TSSC Le Mans Classic 2006 woolly hats and mittens!

    Anyone fancy a little detour on the way to Le Mans via the nurburgring. If you saw Top Gear a couple of weeks back Jezza was driving a Diesel Jag round the circuit. It was only 14 Euro per lap. A lap is about 13 miles anyone fancy it .It has got to be value for money. Imagine driving the Nurburgring and Le Mans all in one week.

      ''Anyone fancy a little detour on the way to Le Mans via the nurburgring?''
      
      yes me!
      
      2006 that will be, probly more that 14E then
      
      also kind of scary thinking that Jem Clarky was whistling into the corners at 110 or so which is about as fast as most folks ever want to go in a trumpet
      
      also parade laps at lm get the vid cam out and do the home films!!!

          And if you positively can't wait until 2006 then join the 10 Countries Run organised by Club Triumph where they plan to visit Nurburgring and the Stelvio Pass. Visit young Carruthers site at www.club.triumph.org.uk/10CR/ 18 entrants so far!

      Not wanting to sound like a twead jacket wearing, pipe smoking old codger but... It only costs 14E to get ON to the ring, but it can cost quite a lot more to get off it again.
      
      Many breakdown recovery policies explicitly exclude the ring, and paying yourself to be recovered to the UK ain't pretty.
      
      If you damage the 'ring, you get charged to repair it, and I believe they charge you if you drop oil (but can't find where i read that at the moment).
      
      Quite a good site on the 'ring for those who haven't found it - http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/warning.html

        Even while we are racing at the UK, the standing regulations state that a driver may be charged for damaging the ciruit. This includes hitting barriers, dropping oil and spilling petrol (as it eats tarmac)

          And if there was a man on this board that could talk about damaging circuits... it would surely be....... NiG...
          
          So how much does it cost then NiG? And do you include it in your yearly budget?
