Le Mans 2014

[Gavin.]

You're joking, in my carpark...

 

[Daniel]

Everyones cars must have shite paintwork, i've never had any problems with stickers pulling paint off.

I can only assume you never looked at my car. Been painted more times than banksys bedroom wall.

 

[Cub.]

The stickers are off, and some paint from the rear bumper went with it. Not sure I'll bother next year.

Ouch. Didn't happen on mine the year before. Maybe because it was hotter this year?

 

[TimR26]

I avoided stickers for this reason, didn't want to ruin my lovely paintwork

 

[couzens]

I think your eyes are still glazzed Tim.

 

[Gavin.]

Mine came off fine, paintwork still intact.

 

[TimR26]

I think your eyes are still glazzed Tim.

My eyes are actually still glazed lol

 

[riz]

Those and the Astons sound immense.

Yup astons sounded amazing.

I miss the car noise in the background of Le Mans, it's pretty cool coming out of T Rouge at 2am after the football and hearing cars.

My background noise at the moment is Thomas the Tank engine on repeat on the ipad and the wife.

 

[Gavin.]

Haha! Did you get a ticket sorted but the way? I'm assuming they didn't give you a freebee?

I am missing it too, I do love the place.

 

[riz]

I got a freebee after a long argument... I also found my ticket in my bag!!!

The Orange Gap year students didn't help at all but I found an official and he sorted me out. Thanks for the slip.


Thanks for sorting the trip btw. I didn't get to speak to many people past Camp Bastian.

 

[Gavin.]

Typical! At least you got another one free of charge. No worries Riz, i'll be sorting 2015 asap too. Lol at Camp Bastian

 

[.GAZ.]

Gavin. How much fuel did you use for the entire trip?

 

[Gavin.]

@Gavin. How much fuel did you use for the entire trip?

2.5 tanks worth so 150 liters ish

 

[.GAZ.]

2.5 tanks worth so 150 liters ish

Not too bad!! I done 4.5 tanks but used a half tank on Mad Thursday lol.

Is there a campsite with power sockets?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Is there a campsite with power sockets?

Judging by the two fridges we took this year, id say so

Houx > all other pikey sites

 

[Gavin.]

I can honestly say I don't miss power, bar changing the phone. It's just a luxury not a necessity for the week.
However sky dish and TV may have to be done next year. Houx Annexe has been a massive upgrade from Bleu Nord, wouldn't want to go back there.

Fridge for beer and phone charge is supreme

 

[JamesBryan]

It's either Annexe + generator or Houx next year.

I bet Houx is full already.

 

[Nickson]

I bet Houx is full already.

I'm looking to get a big old 4 stroke thing for next year.

Either way.. We will be sorted for powerzzzzz.

 

[Gavin.]

Calling tomorrow to make initial enquires, Houx will be taken already most likely. Houx Annexe plus generator is good enough for me.

 

[rctempire]

Back to work tomorrow

 

[Naith]

Back to work tomorrow

thanks for that fascinating insight.

 

[Herr Flick]

How much does it come to for camping, entry etc for the time you lot were there?

The campsite was decent, it was just my supplies which were crap. I need a proper gazebo and a nice chair.


How the f**k did those guys drive a bus to Le Mans?

 

[Daniel]

How much does it come to for camping, entry etc for the time you lot were there?

We spent £900 between 2 of us.

That's everything. Fuel, food, camping, beer, race entry, boat, the lot.

 

[Herr Flick]

Oh that's no too bad.

 

[Panda.]

Oh that's no too bad.

I'm sure I read it can be cheaper to drive to LM and spend a few days there than it is to go to the Silverstone GP for a weekend..

 

[Vish]

Another great year! But sorry to those I pissed off/got names wrong etc on Friday night lol and thanks for calming me down Danny, think you scared him away!

Yeah lost a bit of lacquer on the drivers door but totally f**king worth it. The blue lights parted traffic like Moses tbh.

 

[The_Pirate]

Not a problem Vish , it was a pleasure meeting a lot of new faces!
Gavin. Thanks again for organising it all pal, sterling job buddy!

I can't belive you bought that haha.

 

[.GAZ.]

I can't belive you bought that haha.

Will be up there with the best things I've ever bought lol.

Whaaaat, I don't think you had a proper look around it @couzens, it was dark when you saw it. Much more majestic in daylight

Gaz has the right enthusiasm. That thing is bulletproof with acres of room inside for 7 Scottsmen.

Proper bus.

By the way, just to echo what @Danny_172 said above, nice one for organizing everything @Gavin., awesome job mate.

This year was absolutely awesome, nice to meet a lot of new faces, namely the crazy Scottish pair @.GAZ. and @Danny_172, but equally as good to see everyone again.

I'll do a bit of a write up when I get a chance in the minibus blog to round it all off and pass over ownership to its new owner

Roll on 2015!

 

[couzens]

True, I may have done when I came back at about 4, but I have no memory of that period in time.

Was good to meet you though bud!

Ahhhh, hope it wasn't you who was sick just behind our tent that night . Heard someone doing it in the early hours of the morning, just thinking "please don't be sick on my tent...".

Yes you too mate!
I think you were the only FailSporter I met that night!
