Le Mans 2013

[couzens]

Entrants have been announced. I missed the conference but from what I can see on the net, 8 LMP1 cars (boring) but Vettes, Vipers, Astons, Ferrari and Porsche in the GT classes. I know what I'll be watching this year.

Anyone have the full list?

Me and my bro-in law are going over. Should be taking the Clio too can't wait

 

[Jcs]

Don't forget it's breathalyzers needed this year

http://www.frenchbreathalyzer.com/disposable.htm

Fancy going halves on the pack of 5 Gavin? They say to have 2 in the car.

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/...d=0&nmt=Change+to+breathalyser+law+withdrawn?

French Government have now made a uturn on this!

 

[JamesBryan]

Interesting. So is it scrapped all together or just on hold?

 

[Gavin.]

On hold indefinitely it says. Thats an extra £6.50 beer money for us James, Lol.

 

[JamesBryan]

Schweet!

 

[Sir_Dave]

The news about the breathalyzers is interesting, but this news: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/...8565&mid=70527&nmt=Mazda+787B+back+at+Le+Mans is fapping awesome.



Nom

 

[JamesBryan]

Oh s**t!

Love a bit of 4 rotor.

 

[Riad]

Looks like i'm out for this! will definitely be there in 2014 though

 

[Gavin.]

There will only be 3 North West lot at this rate. You going to the Nurburgring Ring 24Hr Riad?

 

[couzens]

Whos confirmed from you lot?

You, James, Brett, Nickson, Boffey?

 

[Gavin.]

I'm not 100% sure who has actually bought tickets. Me and Mark (Hainsey) have, James is deffo coming but apart from that i'm not sure. I don't think Brett is, James will confirm more. I only have limited contact with others.

 

[JamesBryan]

Me and Boffey definitely are. Brett isn't as he is going to Magaluf and needs £1000000 to spend on alcohol lol.

Nickson is bringing two mates as far as i know.

Small group this year.

 

[Gavin.]

I'm sure I used to have Nickson on Facebook, cannot find him now.

 

[JamesBryan]

I'm sure I used to have Nickson on Facebook, cannot find him now.

Look for Nick Alderson

 

[Gavin.]

Aah maybe not, cheers James. It may be worth giving Brian a ring again soon, as there are so few of us now I wonder if we can fit elsewhere?

 

[JamesBryan]

Aah maybe not, cheers James. It may be worth giving Brian a ring again soon, as there are so few of us now I wonder if we can fit elsewhere?

Could do mate, but tbh i'm happy with Bleu Nord

 

[Gavin.]

Cool, i'll leave it then.

 

[couzens]

If there's only a small amount of you, pop over to ours for drinks and food etc!

 

[Gavin.]

Sounds like a plan. Looks like there is only 7 or so of us then.

 

[JamesBryan]

If there's only a small amount of you, pop over to ours for drinks and food etc!

Only if you take the Vee :rasp:

 

[couzens]

Think the V is going. Just need to come up with some form of stickering/racing livery!

 

[JamesBryan]

I wouldn't want to cover such a nice car/colour

 

[fil_b]

Any advice for breakdown cover?

where are most stopping? Plenty going on the Thursday?
Phil

 

[couzens]

Don't think we bother with breakdown cover, probably should however lol.

We only stop for fuel and pringles generally, at various points along the way.
Southern lot are on the 9am Ferry.

 

[Riad]

Undecided mate got the clio to insure and a few new lenses to purchase before i decide anything.

 

[fil_b]

Need to check what ferry we are on. But def Thursday we going

 

[Gavin.]

We haven't booked the ferry yet but we are aiming the 9am one as well.

 

[JamesBryan]

We haven't booked the ferry yet but we are aiming the 9am one as well.

Yeah. We would have to leave the hotel for about 7.30am to get the 9am ferry.

 

[Gavin.]

Yea, i'm sure we'll manage. Be better doing it that way than get the late on again.

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, be fine.

 

[Panda.]

[Budgie]

Especially not in a convertible!

 

[Cub.]

Lol, if you piss on the flamer, I'll touch you inappropriately.

 

[Gavin.]

Lol, free windows wash courtesy of the car in front.

 

[Budgie]

Lol, if you piss on the flamer, I'll touch you inappropriately.

I struggle to see the deterrent.

 

[couzens]

Lol, if you piss on the flamer, I'll touch you inappropriately.

Getting pissed on's the least of your worries....

 

[Panda.]

Lol, if you piss on the flamer, I'll touch you inappropriately.

[Cub.]

FLOL, a common theme about Burgess appearing in these replies.
