Le Mans... - so who is ready....
AS title guys - who is all ready, and just waiting for the drive out there?
Can't wait myself, had a mental couple of weeks at work, so will be nice to get out there, and relax!
Going out on the Tuesday night, and comming back on the Monday afternoon, Portsmouth - Caen, and camping in Basejour...
I know there are a few of us going out there...

Not a for sale post though eh!
- that is uber cheap!After some of my mates dropping out I had to offload an expo camping spot, and 2 GA tickets on fleebay for less than I paid for them! Was either that, or lose the money altogether! - Oh well...
Any meets planned guys? - Remember the first year I went out there, all of the brits seemed to meet up at Arnage on the Friday morning...
Arnage is the place for me come Friday tho

Doug my mobile is a company one & it doesn't work abroad. I'm camping at Beausejour. I'll ask my mate who's coming down with me if his phone works abroad.
Cheers Simon.

We're on the 07:50 Dover-Calais friday morning. Will be a long drive down to Le Mans, but better than the nasty Portsmouth to Caen crossing - never doing that again!

Look out for a VERY loud fat guy with blonde spiky hair dancing like an idiot on the boat. His name is Simon but he answers to "Chop".
