Club Trip Le Mans Classic - Page 4

Roy & Ian,

Is yours booked with Brittany Ferries? Just I was looking to book the same one (for company, and to follow someone who knows where they're going), and it says 07:30.

Also, when are you coming back? Though, like Chris, Brian & co. I might leave it until later in the week to have some time in France.

I'm a GT40 enthusiast and would like to become a member.

Would there be any room for an ousider? I run a Crendon Cobra with a 351 Cleveland/TKO II Trans with Jag running gear.

Would anyone object if I tagged along? Interested in some lappery of the circuit as well.

Cheers

David

I do have a confession however.

The new GT40 Enthusiasts Website should be up soon, I could add a page on those going with travel dates etc. In order to circumvent (not the Gauls as Caeser would have put it but) data protection regs if you e-mail me your travel plans I'll take it you are happy to have them posted.

Hello Crendonman,
The organising body will only allow cars of a make/type to be displayed together, so unfortunately we are unable to accommodate your request.
If you are a member of another club that are attending-perhaps a multimake club, it would be best to talk to them.
Please do come over and say hello when you are there though.

Fred/Belgium · 01-28-04, 09:27 AM

I have 27 cars attending the event with the Club and have got to close the entries forthwith so if you are a Club member or GTD member and you want to come along I need your entry form now!

Ian Anderson · 03-12-04, 06:52 AM

Hello all
I am going across to the event - no GT40 yet so going as a spectator.

I was then asked if I could tow a trailer across in case of any problems with the cars on this "expedition". I have agreed to this but during discussions at Wednesday's Fairmile Meeting I mentioned that I had been looking at prices for car and Car and trailer and the ferry prices more than double to tow a trailer.Brian thanks for the trailer and Landrover offer.

Question has anyone not yet booked their ferry - if so which route are you going and can we make an arrangement to meet up at a port / tunnel, load your 40 on the trailer and then unload at the other side? This will mean that the additional expense of the trailer will be lessened.

I would like to leave on the thursday 22/07 and return on the Monday 26/07 - times are flexable.

Any takers?

Ian

roy snook · 03-14-04, 04:25 PM

Just an update on the final numbers going to this event with the club, 29 cars and 64 people.
The organisers have allocated us 2 laps of the full circuit on the Saturday-CANT WAIT [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Ian,
My son and I are travelling Portsmouth/Le Havre on 22 July, sailing 0730 and returning Le Havre/Portsmouth on 26th, sailing 1630. The only drawback is that we have already booked the car in.
E-mail me to discuss details on who to book through etc if you would like to use that route (there is only one sailing on that route per day - it's also one of the cheapest!).
Have you arranged camping or accommodation yet?

roy snook · 03-19-04, 03:26 PM

Update on numbers attending.
30 cars and 66 people from the Enthusiasts and GTD40's Clubs [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

IAN UK · 03-19-04, 03:58 PM

Roy 30 cars only ten short of the magic 40, how are you going to establish grid positions for 30 cars [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] for our 2 laps of the full circuit which will be an awsome sight coming up through the grandstand straight.
I think I should be at the front because my brakes are shite, and I don't want to sent home in disgrace for modifing the rear end of a fellow club members Forty [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

roy snook · 03-19-04, 05:03 PM

Ian,
you have to catch up first [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Chris Melia · 03-20-04, 02:18 AM

Hi Roy
with 30 cars going on this trip its looks like a great success, however from previous trips to Le Mans with the club it is evident that a back up team with car trailer and tools may be a prudent move.

Regards
Chris.

Salut guys !!

Who of you will stay the night in the inside track near the car under the tent ? Hum Roy may be with BBQ ?...
I think i'll be one of them, hope the weather will be with us ! Can't wait anymore for this gorgeous event [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

One thing i propose is to create something to identify each others the D day, kind of sticker or other with our user name printed ...

roy snook · 03-26-04, 04:08 PM

Hi Fred,
I'll be under canvas at the camp site, also Ian O'reilly, the Club display should be good with 30 cars too. look forward
to meeting you.

Ian Anderson · 04-01-04, 10:14 AM

Ok probably late now but I had been battling to get accommodation and looked at getting a tent and paying the Euro 65 each for the 4 days

Someone came up with a contact in France and they turned up trumps and we got a cheap hotel (hell how long will we be there?)
