Club Arnage

First off apologies to the mods if this is outside the rules/spirit of this fine place. Delete this post if you consider it so.  If I had been bright enough to find a contact link I would have done it that way. However knowing the enthusiasm of some on this board for whiskey(indeed any form of alcohol) and Le Mans I thought it to good an opportunity to let pass.

Photo opportunities with the ‘Moulin Rouge Girls’ in and around the car, not behind the bike sheds though….


Good luck to all who enter.

Find some Moulin Rouge hunky guys and you're on. ;D

That email address doesn't appear to work as there are too many d's in the name.

Good to see Bruichladdich back at La Sarthe - our little group has focussed this years whisky sessions on Islay and the stash includes a bottle of Peat. Hopefully I can augment that - how and when are you going to announce the winner of the Race draw? Doubt I'll make the autograph session - expect to be pitching camp, sadly, so only the race draw is possible. (9am Friday plan to be getting outside some Uigeadail, Signatory un-chillfiltered Laphroaig, Bunnahabhain, the Peat and Lagavulin. Will leave the Bowmore to the others! Before you mention it we did a full set of Caol Ila last year.)

Apologies for incorrect email address: should be info@bruichladdich.com

Looks like it has been tasting day again at the office ::)

I claim my prize for spotting the mistake!  ;D

Bruichladdich Waves can be bought at my bar, the UNION JACK, (listed in the CA guide)

Our best seller, by the way! A great whiskey :)

BB, any publicity for the Bruichladdich selection, including for the team and cars, would be welcomed with open arms. Contact me on my email if you can pop by with some promotional stuff, or whatever!

Hansy

Hey Hansy thanks for setting us straight here re the closed and very gay friendly bars but really I've had enough of the promotion bit.

We know you've a bar, some will come and have a drink and if you are looking at promoting it why not contact the mods and strike a deal with them. Win - win you know.

Bas

Sorry! I didnt want to over do it, just wanted to let you guys know what we got going on and if I can help you have an even better time during your time here, I will try. Good luck with the competitions and have a great race, which is what its all about!

Apologies to all who are offended :-[

LOL - I was waiting to see who would be first to bite!

See you next week Hansy... but early in the week before the hoi poloi turn up!

:)

The Best promotion would be "Free Pie and Pints for CA Members"

Happy to oblige  ;D

LOL - I didnt mean I wanted it stopped... its good to see someone with a bit of enthusiasm for their pub!!

I was just was wondering who would be first CA'er to bite!!

:)

Same here but I'd rather have they contacted Smokey or whomever and suggest "hey can I promote my pub on your BB and in return I'll do something for your members or donate an amount in the CA-fund" than just shamelessly plug their pub.

If someone would do that I'd actually go and visit that Pub hint...hint  ;)

I might go after scrutineering on Monday - hint hint!

:)

Will be struggling on the Monday to set up the encampment for the lazy bastards that arrive later in the week but Tuesday looks like a pub day.  ;)

Priorities, priorities!

The encampment will still be there on Tuesday, but scrutineering will be over.....

There will be no encampment if we don't set it up ourselves, so unless you've a place to accomadate 4 Dutch guys we're damned. We might pull an all-nighter though if Hansy is up for it.  ;D

Errm... perhaps I will just leave you to it!

F

Thanks Fran  ;)  but seriously if we collect our camping gear near Pontlieu on Monday we might venture over to scruteneering and have a beer at said establishment.

Can't blame a guy for trying and a proper pint is a good start of the Le Mans week.

Well if you do get there before Wen, we want a full report on the establishment!

And do let Phil (hansy69) you are open to bribes and free beer  ;D

Is that Dutch Bas with the Alfa?
Are you with us this year? If so which site Number?
I think everyone else has dropped out!

>Martini...LB

Ok guys, here we go......

As I have been slapped on the wrist here by Bas, I will let all my staff know that if any member of CLUB ARNAGE come into the bar and tell them they want the "SHAMELESS PLUG OFFER", they can buy two pints of our BULLDOG BEER and get one free!  ;D ;D ;D What d'ya reckon?


If you guys come Monday night we have a pub quiz from 20h00 and my arm could be twisted if you wanted to stay a little longer after 2am. If you decide to come Tuesday night, we have a guitar hero night and again, if you wanted to stop longer after, it might be possible, as long as there is not hundreds of you turning up!!  :P

That's very generous of you Phil, seems my big mouth got me a free beer for once.  ;)

I might take you up on that offer if the rain is very heavy on Monday otherwise we'll be collecting our camping gear stored in and around Le Mans and build our temporary home for the week.

Anyway thanks for the kind offer and I'll surely stop by next week.

beer tastes better when its free!

Congratulations on that P2 win, Tim! Fantastic to see #41 circulating pretty much like clockwork although I imagine you had your moments!

Nope - methinks you were wilfully misleading us in your answer to that one, but thanks for the miniatures!

Agreed!

It was good to hear our national anthem being played at LM.

I won the "for those attending the race" bottle  :) ... Didn't find out until I got home and fired up the email on Tuesday so missed the oppos with the MR ladies but off to collect the whisky in the next few days hopefully  ;D
