My suggestion would be to buy a lot of Bleu Parking tickets to park up the vehicles and find someone with a van to drive people with camping gear in (and out on Sunday), so more space is created for the tents. That way we can get a lot more people on, and can definitely recreate the atmosphere we had in 2006 This might prove to be a good option, but it will have to be a different parking. According to Bas' remarks on the Houx topic, Blue will no long be used for parking, but will be replaced with a different big parking site in another location, not sure where that would be. I hope Paddy can secure some pitches with T&T, let's hope all 80 off them, but don't get your hopes up just yet. Boy, I wish they would make this easier, but each year it becomes more and more of a hassle to get something decent each year, why don't we all go to Sebring each year, at least it is easier to get tickets, your closer to the action, the party is great, the only problem is the lousy beer. The lousy beer doesn't bother me. In fact Roy, it didn't seem to bother you either. Especially when you were busy drinking cider, Capt Morgan and Coke, Tropicoma ... Dx

Well. You can replace my cousin Joe, you already have the hair for it Not sure if LT knows enough about pipes and fittings Anyway, I rang the agency earlier this week, and they said they would ring me back by the end of the week, or early next week at the latest. As they didn't ring me yet, I guess I better give it another try first thing Monday morning. They still have high hopes for this to fall through. According to the agency, they always get what they ask for (very much unlike me, I NEVER got what I asked for at the ACO ) So I'll keep you all updated first half of next week. Fingers crossed to those who'd like to be in the CA/DfH Village

you keep me out of this, HA the best campsite for LM by a long way, always said it too. It's that other bastard Ferrari Spider that kept banging on about MB vs HA Troublesome little fecker (as they say in the left hand island, up from us a bit) All I can say is I was on HA this year (again) for the 24 as I usually am. I have been on MB twice for the Classic... Bring it on MB (unless I cannot get a ticket) >Martini...

Deserter, traitor, turncoat . Oh no, not that discussion again! Anyway -as for MB- I think the only way to try and recreate the '06-MB atmosphere would be to get those tickets. Otherwise the site will be too expensive and too quiet. Rung the agency at the end of last week, and they would phone me asap. As I see nobody on any LM-forums I know discussing allocations, I guess we're all in the wait of them plonking ACO people who will probably need another century to make up their minds. All I can say for now is, after tripple checking with the agency on our chances for this to happen, famous last words were "we always got what we ordered". And that's it for now, I'm just as eager as some of you peeps Will keep you updated as soon as I get that call

Hip hip hooray, there's trouble again with the ACO... What a surprise Rung the agency again today, apparently the story at the moment is the ACO is working on selling parts of Houx Annex, Bleu Nord and Maison Blanche. ACO are holding tickets back for them three campsites, the rest have been released to the agencies. So the long wait becomes even longer. What fun

What fun We are hopefully getting HA Sud by going via an agency this year, more expensive but divided between the six or seven of us, honestly what's another fifteen or twenty quid each? I've discussed it with the boys and nobody is really very interested in going back to MB. The new mo'cycle track seems to have ruinned MB for ever, it's now a souless dustbowl and it ain't never coming back. We all need to move on...
