1. Spare Generator
2. 3.5 ton freezer van (about £350 from U-Drive)
3. 200m of hose pipe
4. 200m power extension lead
5. Cylinder of liquid nitrogen in case above cooling methods fail
6. Fireworks
7. The ability to stay awake at crucial moments
8. A cork for my mate's food poisoned arse
9. A CA member locator to avoid continual "Who are you?" questions.

Maybe we should have little neon signs floating above our heads.
Good to meet you at the Poo bar Robspot.

For our site:
Bigger loudspeaker setup, I don't think they could hear us all over the campsite yet. ;D

Oh I think they could!! ;D
Perhaps a bigger screen next year though so that everyone can see it! ;)
We were going to investigate the possibilities of hacking into the ACO PA system!

The fridge van is an excellent idea, should keep our beer barrels cold enough ;D

Some sand so that we can level the pool and make our own beach :P

You are gonna need one hell of a lot of sand to level of where you were camped. It must have taken crampons and piton to get up there from the tunnel

I can't believe I've been to Le Mans before without a pool. It is more important than a tent. You can sleep anywhere but a cooling facility is essential. Did anyone not have pool access this weekend? You must be mad if you didn't.

Yor right Bob but we expected to be in the area behind the bloody tunnel. Seems like an advance pary is called for next year however we did create our own mini flash flood when emptying the thing on Monday. ;D

jpc - we also investigated the PA after several hours of "wooo wooo, 'awaiian tropic geerls wooo wooo" from the muppet with the mike.
.... it seems to be a standard 2-screw electrical cable connector, but you'd need an amp of meaty proportions - couldn't quite make out the impedance of the speakers [perched up a fence overhanging the razor wire :-\], so maybe a step ladder (and/or larger wire cutters) may also be in order......

Why didn't I hear any of that? ??? May<be because our system was just a little bit louder. ;D.... it seems to be a standard 2-screw electrical cable connector, but you'd need an amp of meaty proportions - couldn't quite make out the impedance of the speakers [perched up a fence overhanging the razor wire :-\], so maybe a step ladder (and/or larger wire cutters) may also be in order......

Invest in a small fan to cool the compressors on the fridge and freezer to help cool them.
Worked for us!
