We're crossing at 8:30am from Dover...we'll probably be there hours before hand though so look out for us, black '79 transam, Honda Civic type R and a moonstone 3dr cossie.

Once we're over in france we're meeting up with the other half of our party which is taking the train over. All in all around 18 cars iirc in our group (rsoc group).

This is my 5th leman....missing it next year due to getting married that week but will be doing the 24hr lemans classic in july 2010 to make up for it
