Title: Member's Modes of Transport.
Post by: Leftie on May 28, 2007, 12:33:48 am
Hi folks,
Due to NorwayNick's thread being somewhat hijacked, I thought it might be an idea for members to post pictures of the vehicle(s) or mode of transport they intend to use for the journey to LM this year. I would suggest that it would be limited to road based vehicles as I doubt anyone would arrive in a Sopwith or on the Fying Scotsman but we know 'Jumbos & A320's will be used and hopefully the new tramlink.
We already know BigH will be arriving on a custom made human powered wotsit. BTW H, hows the training?
So to start, this is my motor for this and hopefully many years to come.

I know Dave_Newcastle is bringing his classic Lotus, I dare say lynxd will be with one of his Jags (IFJ).
This will also be a good way of recognising each other when out 'n' about etc.

Del,
Untill I ead that you 'borrowed it, I thought the trailer was for collecting the bits!
I presume that it was a kit as opposed to 'original'. But it just goes to show - it takes a 1000 nuts to something like that together and only one NUT to spread it everywhere!

If you look at the rest of the pics (especially the interior), you'll see it was a Ford GT, not a GT40 or replica.

I usually SIT in the car Del, I don't stand in it. This baby is extra high, so I fit in perfectly. On the changes; don't expect something as excessive as last years Golf (may the cargods let it burn in hell), but some 'application' will be done.Del

That idea is now scotched given that the new parking permits are ferry-style RVM-hangers, rather than the stick-on jobs from years gone by. The number of people I know who leave their Le Mans sticker on for months & months after as a badge of honour... what will they do now?

We are going by veeeee-dubya! Portsmouth -St.Malo wednesday nite, via that pub at the ferry terminal (rudmore cellars?). If you see us give a cheer....or stop and help fix it! Managed to isolate the problems down to everything electrical and mechanical! New bumpers though, so should look good on the relay truck!
Hopefully get to meet a few peeps this year. The trouble in previous years has been sitting down. We have never been able to stand up again without first quaffing flagons of 'premium' lager. Then we can't stand very well so have to sit back down - a sort of vicious circle! We'll be on BSJ so stop and say hello. Unless there's Elvis playing and empty beer tins all around - might be best to walk on, you'll get no sense out of us! (http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb292/huggybear_013/Bus1.jpg)

We are going by veeeee-dubya! Portsmouth -St.Malo wednesday nite, via that pub at the ferry terminal (rudmore cellars?). If you see us give a cheer....or stop and help fix it! Managed to isolate the problems down to everything electrical and mechanical! New bumpers though, so should look good on the relay truck!
Hopefully get to meet a few peeps this year. The trouble in previous years has been sitting down. We have never been able to stand up again without first quaffing flagons of 'premium' lager. Then we can't stand very well so have to sit back down - a sort of vicious circle! We'll be on BSJ so stop and say hello. Unless there's Elvis playing and empty beer tins all around - might be best to walk on, you'll get no sense out of us! (http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb292/huggybear_013/Bus1.jpg)

'Tis indeed a home from home - sink, cooker, 'kin big leisure battery, wired for ac as well (shame I was too tight to buy a decent generator!), 4 berth - double rock 'n roll downstairs, double on the first floor! Almost feels like cheating! Luckily its really slow, adding an authentic endurance feel to any journey!
For sale? My wife and little boy say absolutely not! Best ebay buy to date - much better than the 'mega-watt silent suitcase generator' that barely lights a bulb and is quite the noisiest means of making wiggly amps ever! And the spare Jensen engine that is now sat in the garage cos I sold the car...........and the 'bargain' wetsuit that actually makes you colder (and is bright purple).......the list goes on.......'premium' lager and ebay just don't mix! Ooooops, might be wandering of thread here!!
