Le Mans 2014 - Need a fix for next year, this helped me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILcVm0yh7pI
-
That was rather good, as was the ad that preceded it.
First time I haven't skipped an ad on You Tube.
I'm beginning to feel a tingle of excitement, ferry out booked and plans being made. ;D

Me too, as an owner and fan of the Stuttgart marque, can't wait to see how their comeback assault goes. http://www.porsche.com/microsite/mission2014-resettozero/usa.aspx#/philosophy

Le Mans 2013
A great vid from Michelin, play on a big screen, some clips I missed this year as well

Don't know if this has been posted

missed this from the other post, sorry Stu - did not see your posting, may be I need a beer in hand when i check in future :)

What took you so long Neil?
I've been excited about 2014 since I knew it would be the first race I'd be able to go to once I'd finished studying.
That Porsche are returning has just fuelled the excitement within me.
I may even put my cidre down and watch practice. ;)

OMG!
Be good to see you back at La Sarthe ;D
-
Good to hear you will be back next year. We have one of our Kiwi's coming back next year as well. Kyle, better known to us as Sunset due to his ability to fall asleep, sometime's minutes before sunset.
He performed the Haka with you at a DFH party one year.

Le Mans fact for the day:
"The mileage of Le Mans is equivalent to what a Grand Prix car does in a season"
Guy Smith, 2003 Winner of Le Mans
(so I read in the paper today - and it had prity Pics as well ;) )
-
Hey Doris it will br grand to drink Cidre and watch cars with you again ;D
To day I parked beside a Canary Yellow Porsche Carrera GT first one I have seen in the flesh so to speak. I doubt there are a dozen in Canada.
Phil
-
Check out all the love. I feel quite special right now. 8)
Really looking forward to seeing everyone again. It's going to be good. :)
Of course I won't put my cidre down to watch practice, I'll just take it with me and keep drinking. ;D ;D ;D
Rhino - was I perhaps drunk when this Haka took place?
Dx
-
A Drinking for Holland party, is anyone sober ;D
-
Anyone know when the online Lottery for tickets starts ? It's usually around October isn't it ?

Think I need a new BBQ, for all those bangers

Email from ACO...
We contact you regarding your order for Le Mans 2014.
As you’re not ACO member anymore you can’t keep the benefit of your status of “Regular Client”.
It means we automatically register the same booking of the previous year.
Um - do we think that's a typo, they mean can't keep my booking?
-
I reckon you're screwed (you never go anyway :P )
-
Seems like the ACO ticketing department have changed the rules on 'repeat booking'. On the one hand I can see the logic of extending benefits for ACO members, but at what cost? Pissing off hundreds of regulars who may have been coming for decades but have not decided to be ACO members or have let their memberships lapse.
A very short sighted decision in my opinion. I'll put the point to my contact in the ACO ticketing department but I don't hold much hope of a U-turn if history is anything to judge by.

That will upset a few people who don't go any more, but make a killing on ebay selling MB tickets.
-
Trust that's not aimed at me Barry!!! All my tickets have gone at cost to CA members!! One year I nearly lost out because an infrequent CA member pulled out of two tickets at a quite late stage and I hadn't been paid...
Anyway, the ACO have confirmed that my magicness will go without membership renewal. So my contacts here have been advised, as I am not going to become an ACO member in my own right. If anyone would be interested in cost price Bleu Nord tickets please PM me, cost of tickets, postage and membership would be equally split. I have till 6 November, but as I'm off with work to Africa on Saturday it would be infinitely preferable to sort it out before I go. (Last year's order was 5 tickets, Tom, Phil and Dottore, not sure if the ACO would allow me more but I can ask, if any interest).
-
Trust that's not aimed at me Barry!!!
Of course not Smokie!!
I apologise if you thought it was. :-[
We know all your spare tickets have always gone to CA members at face value.
Just commenting because you see the same names on ebay every year selling MB tickets
-
yes it seems like the ACO are determind to break up long term groups because of a few ebay touts (good to see them loose out at last knockings) which means that many of us who have benifited from Smokies absence will have to get off our arse and get screwed by their besties if we do not get it together. At least they let us know now.
-
Nah no offence taken really Barry :-)
Its agreed, ACO membership to be renewed. I may be buying one of these if I get to Sebring next year, it'd look good in Le Mans eh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_06X3f-IcM
Amazon UK £190 cheapest
Amazon.com $107, or $130 for 6 man (probably plus some tax)
-
I bought the smaller version of that tent this year and it is excellent.
Due to being in my twilight years I decided I was time to buy a tent that I could stand up to get dressed in rather than the Quequa tents where you have to lie down and wrestle to get dressed. ;D
-
looks like it will be my only holiday (apart from a family stag do) next year now (pesky house purchase)
So cant wait now
-
Tickets booked. Let the planning commence.

Hey Kev
A house is for life, a week in France lasts forever... did I get that right... A dog is for Christmas, not for dinner...
A house is for Christmas except when it's a dog... cork back on the bottle ;D ;D
Need to think further

Back in the land of the living
-
Flights and trains seem a lot cheaper than the used to be. Either that or after 4 years I've forgotten what they actually cost ;D

Haggis Muncher's Skirt (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171123389275)
We should have left that wall up. ;D (although I do live on the wrong side of it)
The Pride of England contingent will be wearing some of Scotlands more traditional attire. :-\

Only 200 days till race start, almost halfway through the year now!

-
Just booked my usual Eurotunnel ticket. ;D
Out on the 12th of June - back on the 16th. £98.00
I always seem to get the urge to book it between Christmas and New years eve.

1. Time booked off from work approved
2. Eurotunnel booked and paid.
3. Wife informed of travel dates.
4. Travelling companions hereby informed of booking.
5. Out Weds 11th June on the 10:50 Eurotunnel. Back Monday 16th June 11:50 Eurotunnel
6. Hoping the slightly later departure allows for a (swift) visit to the supermarché before boarding the train.
-
Main holiday now moved from June (whose silly idea was that :-[) Tickets for the Classic now booked
Must book the ferry. DFDS to Calais are dam cheap for a caravan, but I think I'll do Portsmouth, as its easier. Will try and get a discount.
-
Le Havre ferry now booked, arriving Sunday, when the big supermarches will be shut. Will have to take beer to France :o

With the offers available in UK supermarkets, it's probably now cheaper in the UK.

For those who plan ahead well (not me)
The Euro is at Euro 1.20 to £ at present (not sure the tourist rate is - about 1.18)

Err, thanks to our chairman I've now had to delay departure by 24 hours and now have the "pleasure" of dining with our main board on Wednesday night rather than sharing a beer or five whilst on Bleu Nord.
Merde!
-
Likewise Ade, Eurostar out on the 12th but returning on the 16th (looks like we'll beat Paul there - see previous). Have secured a camping spot on Tetre Rouge and a team of kind people tp take all my camping gear there and back for me. Come on!

-
a teaser for this year, yes old but they are back, so it counts
and just try counting them ?
-
25 917s - allegedly. Presented to the FIA at Zuffenhausen in March 1969 to prove that they complied with the new regs.
-
You can't count. There were 4 more in the factory, still in pieces.
I don't think Ferrari ever had more than 7 in the same place at the same time, because they didn't have many more.
Those were the days ;)
And where are Ferrari when you need them >:(
-
You can't count.
No indeed, hence the"allegedly".
Those were the days, that's for sure ;)
-
Bit more Le Mans porn ;)
This pic was taken at this years Retromobile in Paris (another good show to go to)

Magic 8)

Hopefully that car will be in the porsche parade on saturday
-
Flights booked ;D just need the trains to become available and I'm as good as there!

Finally got my ass into gear yesterday and booked the ferry. Not sure what the plan is beyond that. No campsite booked yet. Any spare MB or Tetre Rouge kicking about?

Audi's R18 has arrived for TK's drive through the streets to the circuit tomorrow - like 'em or loathe 'em you can't take away that it's great advertising for them (and Le Mans).

It's physically impossible for me to pitch a tent without at least 2 warm beers Nick! However,should it come down to a race to get the pitch furthest away from Stu and his snoring then I may be forced to skip the beers :P
-
i believe you have a spot between Stu and Darren reserved just for you, the places are allocated in order of races attended so with me, Brian and mr Barton on over 20 you have some catching up to do :P
-
If no body has a ferry yet then DFDS has a great deal on -
10% discount - Use code E10OFF (on selected daytime and early evening sailings)
20% discount - Use code E20OFF (sailings between 22:00 & 01:30)
50% discount - Use code E50OFF (sailings between 02:00 & 04:00)
-

Looking forward to it not long now ;D

I am sorry Neil, as much as I like you I have to be honest, that is shxt woodwork skills. I can only hope that your normal erections etc. are of a far better standard.
Also, I can understand your love of Orange as you tend to play with the ever so charming Dutch guys and gals, but I think that you should have a slight allegiance to your country of birth.
>Martini...LB
Really sorry mate bit my wife would NEVER approve that...

First time since I've lost all my stuff at Imola that I'm getting into LM mood today.
Motorhome booked this afternoon, new camera and a few lenses on the way by the end of next week, slowly getting it all back together. Still feels strange not being at the test weekend right now and sitting at home but we'll survive. At the beer side of the fence in 2 weeks, back to the roots ;D

Is it just me or has the ACO done a great job of managing to hide all the maps/info practiques on their redesigned websites ??
I know the CA guide will resolve all this but wondering am I missing something.

Still a whole bloody month to wait.
Safe journeys to you all.
