Cheers for the invite Budgie. Think we're heading to the drivers parade in the evening but really hope to see a few of you guys at the Pistonheads meet (if we find it hah).

 

[couzens]

Meeting time 6am for the Southern lot. Tim you guys meeting there aswell?

 

[Tim.]

Oli & I are planning to be there or thereabouts in the 172. Hopefully Tim in the R26 and Chris in the 5-series will make it too, but if not then they'll catch us up on the M25/M20 or just meet us at the final rallying point before we set sail.

 

[Sam_K]

Cant wait to get down there, Me and few friends will be in focus RS, van for the supplies and stickered up a4 avant,the stickers were 1/6th of the price of the car at £100 lol.

Staying in Houx row 43 me thinks

 

[Panda.]

Won't be far from us IIRC on that row.. you'll hear us before you see us..

 

[Tim.]

Still got the RS2 Sam?

 

[TimR26]

EFA. After much discussion/fighting.

What time are you leaving the services? 6.15am?

 

[Sir_Dave]

What time are you leaving the services? 6.15am?

6.30 or so i would imagine, once we've eaten Mcdonalds, let it settle, & had the final poo for 5 days

 

[Panda.]

Ryans stickers are awesome... so are Mikes paint-pen skillz...

 

[Stu_350z]

Sat in the docks waiting to board...Some lovely TVRs and Noble for eye candy

[markkram]

Finally got round to putting the stickers on the car.
Unfortunately it was getting late and the light was fading fast.

iPhone not at its best in these conditions but will get some better ones tomorrow if I have time.

The idea;



​The finished product;



Give us a toot and wave if you see us over the weekend.

Take my Canon 500D and a gopro HD2. TBH last year I only really used the canon for the pitwalk/around the campsite and a few racing shots. Vish and Ryan usually do the photographic honours for Failsport..

 

[Jcs]

I'm borrowing dad's 7D. But I'm shite with it, so won't be any amazing photos at the other end lol

Just had my pre le mans hair cut (not that I have much hair) about to pack the car and head out to get the boys.

See you all on Friday

 

[fil_b]

i am packing about 11pm before picking up my bro at 1ish

 

[Sam_K]

Still got the RS2 Sam?

No I sold it a few months back to free up some cash, I did love it but im getting the trophy ready to sell now However I have just bought an s4

 

[Tim.]

The various weather reports I've read seem to be getting progressivly worse but it's having absolutely no affect on my spirits, which are at an all-time high!

Quite how I thought I'd get any work done today is beyond me, waaaay too excited.

 

[Gavin.]

We're in convoy on our way darn sarf now, staying in Ashford tonight.

Lucky bast4rd. I echo Tims' situation in that work is crawling by and I'm hardly doing anything...

 

[Budgie]

I'm busier than I've been all year. Mainly because I'm not in to cover up all the s**t I should have done already. Lol

 

[Sam_K]

Same I have literally done nothing at work today, excited as well!!!

 

[fil_b]

yeah i saw the weather.

last i saw was damp / rain sat with sun on sun and mon

 

[fil_b]

raining in dover atm

and it seems a wet crossing looking at that

 

[Budgie]

f**k the crossing. We're in a car/ferry for that.

It's weather at Le Sarthe that worries me!

 

[Sam_K]

looks like there will be a bit of rain...

 

[fil_b]

yeah all the way thought till monday

i leave the shorts in but the rain could make it an interesting race

 

[Panda.]

fortunately the Panda suit = perfect for all weather. As logn as it doesn't end up washed out like the Nr24 as that'd just be a ballache.

There was a South Park episode featuring Sexual Harassment Panda, but I don't know if that was actually Dom or one of his relations.
