Club Arnage

All,

I need to know what we've got / are getting for the charity auction so an inventory can be put together.

If anyone has anything please list it here and I'll put the list together.

Cheers
Dx

I am waiting for an answer from Michael Vergers. VMM and Spyker should have some items too.

Hi
I should be ble to get a brand new, boxed, not grey import, unlocked, mobile phone for you.

>Martini...

30 x 20 inch photo print depicting both the No. 3 (white car at Sebring)  and No. 4 (Usual yellow car taken at Road Atlanta) Corvette's. Seperate pictures, on a black back ground with the Corvette racing logo in the middle. Signed in silver pen at Sebring by Doug Fehan, Johnny O Connell, Ron Fellows, Jan Magnussen, Oliver Gavin, Max Papis and Olivier Beretta.

Mounted with a pale yellow border and framed in a gloss black frame with glass glazing.

Hope to collect this from the framing shop hopefully tomorrow if they have it ready. Can then send a picture of the finished item if you wish.

Yes please Chris.

Dx

Kind of hard to get a good picture due to the size and reflections off the glass from the flash and surrounding items in the room. Flash also shows up the finger prints on the glass and frame but this is the best picture I have been able to take.

Looking great Chris!

I'll start the opening bid at 100 euros
No Joke!

 :) Thats what i like to hear

We will be taking advance bids on items as some people can't be there in person but want to bid on things.

If people want to do it on the open forum then they are obviously welcome to do so, but if anyone wants to place a bid without making the item or amount public they can let either Doris or I know by PM or email.

I have a bottle of sloe gin and a bottle of sloe vodka. Home made of course.

i might have a colleague who is interested in these kind of things, will need the list then though on beforehand since he will not be going to Le Mans

The Flying Lizards were after a couple of grandstand tickets which hopefully, the Lawnmower Man will supply.  They will donate something to the auction again this year also. Don't know what yet though!

Michael Vergers and Spyker will definitely donate, have to get in touch now with VMM...

Michael Vergers just rang me, he will definately have a set of gloves and probably a Michelin "podium cap". Received an email from Van Merksteijn last night, they will donate two rear brake disks which ran on their car untill Monza, and one of the air flow things above the front wheel which got slightly damaged at Barcelona. All with signatures, so I guess some Dutch Verstappen fans can get their bids going!
Still waiting to hear from Spyker what they will have this year, and today I have sent Jan Lammers an email. Will keep you posted! :)

ps. this topic is very quiet :-\

Just got a mail back from Racing for Holland, they will donate a 2003 scale model of the Dome plus an original Racing for Holland team jacket.

That leaves me an update from Spyker Squadron...

I thought that too.  Mind you I have had text confirmation from JPC about a few other items.  :)

Dx

Get them posted on here then D.

OK, here goes. This is still being built on but this should whet your appetite!!:

Creation Motorsport will donate a visit for two people to their garage during the 24 hour race to experience what it's like during the actual race, including being in there during a pit stop. This is something that is just not normally available to the paying public!

Creation will also donate some team shirts or t-shirts which will be signed by the drivers.

Creation have written to all their drivers and any other driver they know to ask for individual donations.

Darren Turner will donate "something" but he doesn't know what yet as he hasn't been given his Team kit yet. I am to meet him there to collect "something"

Chamberlain Synergy will donate a Wishbone off their LMP1, signed by all three drivers.

Amanda Stretton (Chamberlain Driver and TV Presenter) will donate a signed set of her race overalls.

An ex Le Mans driver who now races in the Radical series that supports LMS in Europe has stated that at his next practice day at either Brands, Silverstone or Donnington (TBC), he will take the winning bidder out for 5 laps as a passenger in a Radical SR5. (Out lap, 3 Hot laps and In lap)




I'm not sure if "the wheel" has been mentioned on here yet either.

At Sebring, CA'ers obtained a wheel off the Sebring winning Corvette GT1 car (used in qualifying, not in the race) was signed by all 6 Corvette drivers and was donated. (Have we collected it from Barwell yet?)



Chris Hall has also obtained lots of additional items items. As per his posts on DfH:

Signed Avon Tyres Limited Edition Cap, by Bradley Ellis and Alex Mortimer, the 2007 British GT Champions.

There's also a signed Rockingham poster, signed by about 12 BGT drivers, including Alan Simonsen, Cocker and Drayson.

All have been autographed in thick gold or silver pen.

"From Team RPM, 2007 British GT Champions Bradley Ellis and Alex Mortimer have donated a signed, limited edition Avon Tyres baseball cap in addition a Rockingham BGT Poster autographed by a host of drivers, including Allan Simonsen, Jonny Cocker, Tom Ferrier and Adam Wilcox is up for grabs."

As a bonus, I have a signed CR Scuderia t-shirt, autographed by Kirkaldy, Mullen, Rob Bell and someone else...

(http://www.gtgateway.com/img/ellis_prize.jpg)

I got Oliver Morley and Tom Ferrier to sign a Lamborghini team hat for the auction.

I spoke to Modena, they have a book on their history coming out soon, and if it's ready in time they'll donate a copy signed by their drivers - if it's not ready, they agreed to rustle something else up.

The British GT (SRO) have donated one of their standard goodie bags and I'm now trying to get a free ticket/grid walk as well .

If anyone is unable to make the auction, or simply does not trust themself to bid on the night once they've experienced the DfH hospitality, they can make a sealed bid in advance.

If you wish to do this, please send a PM to either Doris or myself (or both to be on the safe side) stating the item you wish to bid on and your Maximum Bid and your bids will be made for you anonymously on the night in a competitive manner as though you were there yourself, unless of course you expressly state that you wnat your maximum bid amount to be used immediately.

thanks for the update Mark!

JP, Funny you should mention the wheel, I got in this evening to find a message on my answer machine from Barwell Motorsport to say that their shipping crate has arrived back and the Corvette wheel is now in their workshops ready to be collected. So I will PM both you and Doris the contact number from the answer message so that whoever is collecting it can get in contact and arrange the pick up.

The wheel I think has only been signed by two or possibly three drivers that i could see when carrying it from Corvette to Barwell before the race. Not sure which drivers though but perhaps Ron Fellows and Johnny O Connell but don't quote me on that.

Also please don't forget to add the signed and framed Corvette photoprint that I am donating to the auction. Its 30 x 20 inches plus mounting and frame and is signed by all six Corvette drivers and Doug Fehan.

excellent job, Chris! (http://forum.drinkingforholland.com/images/smiles/icon_thumbsup.gif)

We've had a rummage and we've got: 

1.  Brands Hatch WTCC poster from 2007 signed by Andy Priaulx, he won at that meeting and of course went on to take the championship - again!   I'm trying to get hold of a pair of tickets for this years WTCC round at Brands in July to go with it - should know by the weekend

2.  Spa 24 hour 2007 poster signed by Stephan Ortelli

These are both left unmounted and unframed so someone can frame them to fit their own taste.

Yeah, the poster looks great and we've already got a bid of 100 Euro for it.   8)

Dx

Well you can tell your bidder that won't be the  winning bid!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D >:D >:D

So is there a list of all auction items yet ??

I believe Dirk is putting one together.  Ohter than that read this thread.  Most items are on here.  :)

Dx

Good.  We want to raise as much money as possible.  ;D

Dx

Now that's a shame. Was hoping on a sort of carboot sale and cheap goat everything off around the back. The way items are coming to us, we should be able to build our own LM-PGT12 with all those spare car parts and enter the race ourselves :-\

;)

Spoke to Sander from Spyker Squadron this morning. Definately another large print on canvas (so bring lots of money please!) and also a few signed shirts again. He told me he was going to have a look in "the shed" for some car parts too.

We really are going to build are own car then!

I forsee some head to head bidding between you and me then Tom ;D

im really looking forward to this - the list of goodies is fantastic

Yes, we are going to be the first team to build a car made up off parts from all four classes and it will be the first car ever to run on Le Mans with Beer as it's fuel ;D  The Dutch LMPDFH

As long its not as quiet as the Audi!

With the way Dirk can belch and JPC can snore - no chance!  ;D ;D ;D

Dx

I can also add a pirelli banner, 12 feet long, donated by one of the Turn 10 corner workers at Sebring. Signed by all the members of DFH!

Awe, you've de-valued it now  ;D

Spyker has added the wrecked wheel plus tire from the last Spa accident with Alexander Wurz, plus a front part of the Spyker 8)

And me.

I quite fancy the idea of an '07 Spa LMS poster, and maybe a break disk 8)

Nokia 3110 Classic (value £85 excl vat, yeah it is not over expensive (read cheap)... nothing to do with motorsport, like everything else, but if it raises some money fair enough.
I am also after another Phone will advise on the day, possibly a Razr.

I could also bring along a pair of my boots from when I raced Karts, nah, you wouldn't want those... no you really wouldn't... mind you I did finish 8th in an 80 strong field in France against French, UK, German and a DUTCH drivers wearing them... best non euro... no sorry I have to keep them...

>Martini...

if I count correctly the list is 33 items long now, I will contact Mark to see if there is more

Martini,they must be some size these boots of yours. :o

80 strong field in France against French, UK, German and a DUTCH drivers wearing them...  

I was thinking about a charity chest waxing..... not sure if that would raise much interest or how bidding could be organised... and it would hurt as its real hairy!

PP

I bid a £10nr as i'm a sadistic, perverted barsteward  >:D >:D >:D

All in the name of charity of course.

How much for a TOTAL waxing?

Thinking about it, you would have to be SERIOUSLY 'anithystised' so it would cost more for that than it raised.

So scrub the idea.

Last year we raised 200 euro's to cut of marius' pony tail, if you want your chest waxed for charity, I am sure we could match that amount ;D

I'm bringing a hairtrimmer this year, I'll announce the 'victim' on fridaynight.  >:D

<Dr Evil Voice> There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking </Dr Evil Voice>

if only i had chest hair  ::) i only shave my face once a week - 2 weeks  :P

Having reconsidered my offer.... I now revoke it.
Strange what being sober makes you realise!

PP ;)

Yeah, but you'll be p!ssed at the party and it will be easy to talk you into it again!  ;D

Do hte rules allow one to revoke an offer?

t.

You cant revoke once acceptance has taken place (not that ive just taken an exam in law or anything!)  :D

Never mind LPP its all for a good cause  ;D

I didn't even offer, but still it happened!

An offer can be oral, written or by conduct sooooooo you sat there and let them do it - unlucky!!!  ;D

Oral offered?  :o

Was it??! surely that is inappropriate infront of all those people  ;)

You can offer it for auction, you don't have to perform it in public. And no, I'm not offering anything for auction by these sentences!!

thanks, i'll bear it in mind!  ::)

I think it was just a slip of the tounge.  ::)

As any fooooewl kno' an oral con-trick isn't worth the paper its written on
It was a noble gesture Marius.

Is there a list yet?
Reserve values?

Watch this space. Had another item donated ast night so will publish a list on here today!

There won't be any reserves!

So where is the list and I wonder who marius has got in mind for a baldy ::)

Another New Item!!

A pair of the ‘the world’s fastest pants’ as signed by (and formerly belonging to) Andy Green – driver of Thrust SSC and more recently, the JCB DieselMax. A Team Shirt will accompany the pants!

Whether this means they have actually been worn or were a promo ietm I do not know until we get them!!  :o

The list is now available, and what a list it is this year!!
