Simon
Me and 3 other guys from work are going

We are setting off from Foulridge/Colne at 08:30 on Thursday catching the 4:30 ferry from Dover,having a night in Calais .Then driving down to the circuit pitching the tent etc etc.
Was at Le Mans in 1997 & 1998 ~~ absolutely brilliant atmosphere.
Should be a good laugh this trip.

Mode of transport :~ a 1970's ex ~ Danish crew cab VW ~~ pickup :o :D :o ,Porsche wheels,tuned engine on 45 dellortos and left hand drive ~~ You will not miss it ~~ a s***ty shade of Egg shell blue ~~ see you there ( I hope )

went there a few year back and was brilliant, we was in a camp right next to the track, next to the chicanes just before the start finish straight,

got very very drunk watching all the racing and england in the world cup!, also got sunburnt legs lol was scorching hot week too!!

would love to go again, just remember being sat in the grandstand on the start/finish straight at about 3am with the sound of lambo's screaching past, then the rumble of the corvettes and the aston martin racers etc etc

then there was the new audi diesel lol shhhhhh
