As everything else Le Mans related seems to be selling on a certain well known auction site, lets see if we can raise some more money for Doris' Cancer Research collection!

...ticket face value £1000  ;D

It wouldn't let me add "priceless"!!!  ;D

Its made a fiver already

Now why would we copy entrance cards? ???  ;D


Excellent work Mark!! Spread the word guys, let's get some money in!! (http://dfh.vandijkonline.net/images/smiles/icon_thumbsup.gif)

Paddy we should win this bet, he says that it will be send out in May. Plenty of time for the mass production sceam. ;D


Just kiddin' on that one Mark. ;) We'll gladly support you to keep the Tropicoma flowing!

Will somebody please out bid me  ::)

Who is this sheettrimmer???!!!!

Don't panic, he's a CA'er (it's not me though!)

Sheettrimmer?  Sounds like a printer to me.

Probably drives a flashy car and got a taste for Tropcoma last year  ::), somebody really should outbid him!

OK, I had a pretty good idea who "sheettrimmer" was, but "peppersgate" I'm not so sure of!

I thought i'd have a go.

£50 and outbid.

You have to understand ebay.  the other bid is £50 too so you'll win at £51

I've given up as the thought of a week on Tropicoma as my medical insurance only covers me for £10,000,000.

This sheettrimmers serious.  Despite my fragile constitution, I thought I'd have another go for the sake of charity, and I'm outbid!

You said it there Chum, its for charity and a very good one at that, you never know when you might need it.  Bung some more cash in, its only beer money after all, and a few more days to go as well.

Its only beer money but really the last thing I want on MB is another drink, we're swimming in it already. 

Shouldn't we arrange a JPC abstinance day.  It would last about 10 minutes with loads of money going to charity.  we could run a book

Was that a force 5 on the Reichter scale in Basingstoke?

its for charity don't worry about drinking it at LM thats incidental, you'll need more than £70 I guess if you want to be in the lead.  FS

This is the fun bidding.  The heavy money only comes out in the last hour.  I may go for last years pass.  Its still only £1.20

£1.70 now ;D

Its made £5.50, but beware, this can get expensive if you make a mistake

Retracted: £400.00
Explanation:Entered wrong amount

My Team has clubbed together our initial beer fund and we are highest bidder !!

Always bet in at night, no one else around

Question can the payment go direct to Doris so she gets the Tax back?   On that amount the   Tax is significant. 

T.

I was already onto this one Tom! As you say, 28.16% extra makes a difference!!

Either the winning bidder can pay Doris directly via her page http://www.justgiving.com/Doris so that they can do the gift aid part, or payment can come to me and I will do it via her page.

Great stuff. 

Someone outbid him!!!!  Please!!!!

I'm not sure if Le Mans could handle Tom on Tropicoma for a whole week?  :o

There'd be no grass left anywhere in La Sarthe  ;D

Don't forget there's another worthy auction too for the same cause!

Yes please out bid me I'm not sure my liver is that evil.

t.

BTW,  Is Doris getting a VIP invite?     Silly question but it has to be asked.

is last year's pass still valid? :-[

I don't think that's a silly question at all.  I think it's a top idea!   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Forget the T shirts and the car stickers.  Is there going to be a CA hat for those suffering excessive hair loss?

Paddy, no it is not, but what price for a piece of Le Mans history, and for a good cause at that. ;)

I have one of last years VIP Passes.   But it's not for sale.  Not at any price.

I know that feeling Lanmower ;)

13 Hours To Go

Who will win the "Mother Of All Hangovers!!!"  :o 8) :-\

I think the real money will only come in at the last minute.

t.

does that include puking? Than I'm not interested anymore! :P

Don't worry you'll pass out long before you puke.

There is a down side to all this Mark,   You are goiing to get sooooo much negative feedback!!   ;D ;D ;D

If it is can I have one??

Martini...

Well done Tom

The rolling fields of BSJ won't know whats hit'em.


Steve

ps I'll bring a bucket of anadin for you

Well done Tom, will you be getting along to Doris's do tonight? I'd like to buy you a beer :)

Its still open to bids, with the one Mark has just sold, lets see if we can get last years pass to give a combined total of £100 or more.
Happy bidding.

My god it's now upto £15.25, only another £8.75 and we are there. ;)

Lock up your garden sheds and hide your mowers away!  The Lawnmower Man mows after Tropicoma, and now he's got it for a whole week.  :o

Well done Tom - money well spent!


I am lead to believe Tom is unable to attend tonight but if you happen to bump into him at a pre LM planning drinking session further down the line he's quite partial to a drop or two of Speckled Hen...and Tropicoma of course... ;D

I'm bit dissappointed no one tryed to out bid me I had a sum in mind so thought what the hell and put the full wack in.  Anyway Doris & Mark,  I've made the donation you can now see see it.   ;D

Mark, Don't bother posting I'll pick up the Ticket on the day.  :-)  Please remind me to tie it on securely before I start. ;D ;D ;D ;D

t.

Oh dear - lock up the womenfolk!   I wonder if i can get that rather nice toyota man to protect me from TDG if he gets a bit fruity on the tropicoma again this year!   ;)

Oh dear Tom, I saw the state of you from just one night on the Tropicoma......I pitty all on BSJ........but then again it's all for charity mate!

Well I may try to pace myself.  Though thinking about it,  It doesn't say endless supply.

All that said I've not heard from JPC since winning.  May be the thought of it has driven him away.

t

Well done Tom!!!

Sorry I've been so long in congratulating you but I was away for the weekend!

Looks like I'd get more supplies in this year then!!! And there was me hoping that it would be won by someone who wouldn't actually drink much of it!!  ;D

JP, we can always pull the costa shuffle, get them pi**ed on the good stuff quickly and from then onwards just fruit juice. 8) :o

That would be an interesting experiment! Hopw much grass woudl Tom mow after a night on the full on Tropicoma copmpared to how much he'd cut after a 50/50 mix!!??  ;D ;D ;D

I've just re-read the original Tropicoma thread.

What have we done!!!!!

http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=3830.0

Could be an intresting sweepstake, what will the total area of grass cut by Tom over the Le Mans period be? All monies to Doris

Guess who is the (un)lucky owner of a 2005 VIP pass!

Martini...

Well done Martin.  :D  It's all for a good cause!!!
