Le Mans 2014

[Cub.]

May as well start the ball rolling on this. I for one am adamant I will return! Sounds like it could be even better than this year with;

- Webber & Porsche back in the mix
- More CS'ers attending than ever
- More notherners attending, giving us more candidates for abuse....

So who is going, in which vehicles / planned vehicles, and are we planning to sort a CS 'Rang' to prevent Dutch Wristers stealing our pre-booked pitches!

PS. Dave - where is the 2013 video report? Pull your finger out

After reading the threads from these, I'm coming! (if that's ok and I can tag along with you guys). I'm actually northern, but live in the south, so unsure who I would sidewith in the failsport vs norfbest battle.

I emailed 1st Tickets to re-book our places (for 2014) last Thursday lol.

Jeeesus. Bit early no?

This thread can stay open if you post a picture holding a sign that says "xxx days til le mans", then it must be photoshopped and re-posted every day with the correct number of days by an attendee.

 

[Laura]

Ill be there again, staying on Houx but moving to the other side.

Cars - not sure, there was talk of a Navara or similar and an MX5, i want to take a couple of pit bikes next year. Wont be taking the Aston again, great experiance especially with the track parade but having that amount of money sat in a field and not wanting to drive through mad friday or be a hoon in general LeMans styleeee

You should come, then you'd realise it is never too early to start the thread for next years!

No one wants to see my ugly mug everyday for the next year. Even I struggle with that!

[JamesBryan]

Live near Oxford though.

I meant in terms of your previous residence.

 

[boffey]

Can't wait already.

 

[Daniel]

f**k me. Check out Jimmy Crankee on the right!

I'll be there. Or at least, i'm going to make the most effort possible to be there. Wanted to do it for years. I'll be taking a transit or similar. Fcuk the tents.

 

[couzens]

LOL at Jimmy CrankEE!

Cub, write up was written by moi today, Dave will spell check, add/amed etc on Monday.

 

[Mr R.]

I must go to this.

 

[Cub.]

FLOL at Jimmy Crankee. Genuine tears!

Good work colsheface, attendance from you would be a welcome addition. And bring the transit, somewhere private to have a poo

Good work Ryan, look forward to reading it.

 

[Tim.]

I'll be there, and I quite fancy taking the Trophy, but equally considering something with significantly better load-carrying ability.

Anyone done the Portsmouth-Le Havre or Poole-Caen route? Significantly less driving to be done but more expensive. Is it worth it...?

 

[Marc.]

I would utterly love to go to LM, unfortunately none of my friends are into it, so I may have to ask to tag along to this next year...?

 

[Jamie86]

I want in!

IF I go... IF... I'll be taking the X5, putting the rear seats flat and putting an inflatable mattress in the back! Probably throw a roof-box on as I don't fancy towing a trailer that far. (Could you imagine the s**t we'd fit in a trailer haha!!

 

[Cub.]

We did pretty well in a clio (with roll cage), Megane and BMW 5 series saloon. We had Fridge, Tent for 10, BBQ, 8 x Military Cot beds (epic beds - cheers Paul), food and beer for 5 days, 8 x chairs, table, power cables, cooking equipment (pans), stove and clothes etc.

Trailer would be epic. Best I saw last year for comedy value was a load of lads who towed a Horse box all the way down there and slept in that. It didn't even look like it had been cleaned from having a horse in! Lol.

 

[.GAZ.]

Might see about a pop up tent trailer..

 

[.GAZ.]

F*ck it, I'm on the hunt for a caravan!!

 

[Budgie]

f**k caravan's. take a tent or sleep in the X5.

Towing a caravan there and back at 60mph will be the biggest ballache.

 

[.GAZ.]

Who'll be doing 60?

 

[Cub.]

f**k caravan's. take a tent or sleep in the X5.

This. Plus, if you're in a caravan, you wouldn't get the delights of a drunken Budgie trying to feel you up through the tent wall at 3am. It was an experience, trust me.

 

[.GAZ.]

If it makes it any better, Danny_172 will be trying to lick my toes in the caravan...

 

[Cub.]

He must be good, all that practice licking windows

 

[.GAZ.]

You'd think so, wouldn't you.

Either that, or the 172 bouncing off the limiter 3" from your head. Lol

 

[Laura]

pitches booked, grandstand tickets booked

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Hai! As per text, you're a homo! Camp and we'll take the Cup!

Someone has to my fez wearing friend x

 

[Cub.]

Lol! Be great to have a Scottish contingent along. Make the Northerners feel well off x

 

[couzens]

FLOL! Talks about taking an X5 to LM. Still gets called poor.

 

[.GAZ.]

FLOL @ poor!!

Danny, no chance I'm going without the jeep. Back to plan 'A'. Mattress in the back and a roof box.

 

[Cub.]

Lol! Good banter already. Only 325 days to go

 

[Tim.]

Back to plan 'A'. Mattresses in the back and roof box.

Pity the fool who has to sleep on a mattress in the roofbox, especially when they get locked in and driven round Houx at speed

 

[Sir_Dave]

​Perhaps you could ask some of the members of FailSport to MTFU and get me the deposit then?

 

[Cub.]

Banco de Dave offering its usual interest rate? PS. Have a look at your fagwagon thread.
