Le Mans Next Year

[Scott_Mac]

Yes, shall attend.... have to make it at least once!

 

Hope work don't bugger it up though

[dobbo]

Scott - Book your hols now ?

[Kris H]

How can work bugger it up? Can't you book holidays well in advance and then just wave the form at them?

 

This is looking really good so far - Matty - you could pretend to be coming as well since you've got plenty of time to change your mind

 

I'm with Ladders on the SELOC front - well organised and seem to know what's going on and where and get access to a few things that a smaller group might not get.

[shortname]

I really should go this time, been meaning to do it for ages.

Don't let me forget!

[Ladders]

Yes, if we club together with SELOC we should be able to sort a good one out for next year.

 

I think next year without the excitement of wondering whether we'll actually be going or not, we should be able to sort a good trip out!

[Kris H]

Be great if you did Pete, provided you don't pack more than a pair of undies and a hat in your car! Next year being the lotus anniversary celebrations would seem to be the time to do it though. Were a couple of 340rs there this year I think.

[emmajaneb]

I'd be up for this trip. Looks great.

 

BTW - Scott's comment about work buggering it up is cos he's missed out on Stelvio cos of his office move....

Anyone else here going to Stelvio????

[Ladders]

I wish! Don't think I could persuade the girlfriend that sitting in a car for a week was a holiday though!

 

You deffo have to go Emma, would you have the car on the road by then?

[emmajaneb]

Should have

[Scott_Mac]

I'd be up for this trip.  Looks great.

When is it then folks.. i shall get the request in now!

[Scott_Mac]

Change her then

 

Its a great holiday, any decent woman knows that, its exotic (France), scenic (countryside), great local cuisine (burgers and beer), lots to see (pissed people and cars)

 

 

And Emma, your car, on the road, by June... yeah right... it'll be ina museum as the "lowest mileage ever recorded on an Elise"

 

 

P.S. Thats for Stelvio

[steve-n]

whats the deal with speeding in France? Has anyone got caught?

i've heard they clock your speed between Toll booths is this correct?

[Scott_Mac]

They don't like radar detectors, i know that much.

 

Not sure how they calculate your speed though, i guess between toll booths is highly possible!

[emmajaneb]

Apparantly they've started getting sneaky. They have cameras in a tunnel leaving Moutiers which "is situated about two-thirds of the way along the tunnel on the left, hidden in a little service road (the *******!), and it will flash at anything over 89kms"

 

(Not that I know where Moutiers is... but seems cunning)

I'm deffo up for Le-mans next year, count me into any plans, and if any help is needed organising gimme a shout.

 

I'm excited already!
