Skipping round the campsite will go down well..

Also Mike.. I've realised we haven't got Saner in our car this year.. who's going to be sober the whole way down to drive?!?! It certainly ain't me...

f**k. I hadn't considered that.

 

[Gavin.]

Lol, sod being pissed on the way down.

 

[Cub.]

Tim let that slip then LOL

Nope, but you just did

To be fair, if it is the gay pride colours, it is rather amusing!

 

[Panda.]

f**k. I hadn't considered that.

School-boy error. Have we sorted radios?

Lol, sod being pissed on the way down.

There's photos somewhere of me and Mike drinking at Dover at 9am... it does mean a few piss bottles are required though. Also most of France is boring so need something to do to pass the time..!!

It would be a slight problem as my passenger couldn't take over as he can't drive haha

 

[Tim.]

It would be a slight problem as my passenger couldn't take over as he can't drive in the UK, however, fortunately the rules are completely different in France - anything goes! haha

EFA???

 

[JamesBryan]

EFA???

Lol, true. He's never had a lesson or anything so it'd be interesting

 

[Gavin.]

Lol i'm a lightweight. I'd be a mess all the way there.

 

[Panda.]

Not up for a game Port to Port then?

 

[Gavin.]

Not for me, i'm doing a bit of driving in 2 different cars. First beer in Ashford on the wednesday night and then when we get setup in Le Mans.

 

[Budgie]

You're never allowed to mention the words southern and fairy together in the same sentence.

Dom and I had done 7-8 cans by the time we hit the campsite last year. First can of beer was waiting to board the ferry at Dover!

 

[Gavin.]

Pmsl, I was thinking that. Maybe I should have been southern. I'm blaming it on old age, thats my excuse and i'm sticking with it.

I thought Northerners were "well 'ard"....

The others don't trust us with tent erection (even more so after beer) so left us to scavenge for wood/make fire...

 

[Gavin.]

I think that's just a massive generalisation along with all southerners being "soft" haha. I'll be on it when we get setup.

 

[Tim.]

How do you regulars tend to get there? Autoroutes/péages and get there asap, or do you go off-piste and enjoy some of the smaller, better driving roads?

We get lost (thanks Dave..) on the Autoroutes as it is so daren't brave cross country...!!

 

[Gavin.]

Yeah we just follow the autoroutes. We've planned a route through Rouen due to the bridge closure but it's guaranteed we'll get lost.

 

[Tim.]

Would it be easy enough to not take a map at all and just follow stickered-up cars on UK plates, or is nobody brave enough to do that?

 

[JamesBryan]

Pretty much the A28 all the way down.

Found this link on Pistonheads which has good videos http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32026

[Jcs]

Bought these before the official stickers were released so now have these two small stickers spare.

If any body wants them, pm me and I'll post them else they'll just go in the bin



Not long to go now :d

 

[Jcs]

Stickers now claimed See you all in just over a week

 

[Tim.]

Being that we can't go to CSS are we going to have an official CS meet for all of us that are en France? CS@LM13...?

When's a good day, time & place to catch up for a beer?

 

[Gavin.]

We are supposed to be going over to the Failsport camp one night, I cant remember if it's Friday or Saturday. I'd say friday at a guess.

 

[Nick172Cup]

I thought everyone was coming over to the Failsport camp on Mad Friday evening? Going to be awesome!

f**k CSS!

What a great idea, could always meet up somewhere and convoy over to the Pistonheads meet together on the Friday?

 

[Tim.]

Convoy? Most people will be walking/staggering won't they?

f**k CSS!

What time does the party start, Nick, and should we expect an official invitation?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Yeah, Failsport will be well on our way to being 'jolly'! Lol

 

[Nick172Cup]

Don't know times Tim, will confirm with the clan.

No invitations, bring your food and beer, find us and have a good time! If you don't come, your loss!

 

[Gavin.]

We'll be there, food and beer in hand.

 

[Sir_Dave]

From memory, Ryan and myself were on the way to being p1ssed at about 3pm on the Friday at the PH meet lol.

The burgers there are flipping immense btw, Laverstock Park Farm iirc.

Invites not required, we can all just stagger back from PH together.

 

[Jcs]

Being in the Southern Fairy Brigade, if I drink before sundown I'll forget what I've seen at Le Mans.

Also how am I supposed to do burnouts if I'm drunk?

The organiser has spoken.

Ill show you.

Lol. Thats what you think, I've just ben bolstering my house deposit really

Re: the burnouts, personally i park my car on Thursday evening when we get there and leave it there until Monday morning, although donuts are of course done as we leave. Budgie tends to just drive around pi55ed, with a drunk Panda stood on the roof to take attention away from the fact he can barely walk. French law is different iirc.

 

[Panda.]

Ill show you.

Flol.. dangerous..

 

[Nick172Cup]

Lol. Good luck trying to run away, with no arms or legs...

 

[Panda.]

lol the grumpy porsche man is in Daves picture...

Also the french are powerless - Mike, Ryan and me went to collect wood on sunday night, drove back to the campsite on the wrong side of the road (there was a huge queue we were overtaking). We met the police head-on, mounted the kurb and went round them and bailed into the campsite...
