Yup - going all the way in Harriet.
Drove her up from Cornwall to London last weekend, and will be leaving at 5pm today from Wandsworth to Portsmouth and then tomorrow St malo - LM.
Have to go and get her from a local garage showroom in a few minutes - seemed like a good place to garage her!
We may be slow but she's a hoot (and very difficult) to drive. No synchromesh (of course) on any gears and with the pedals in a different order (accelerator in the middle) it means you have to keep your wits about you.....!

after years of Lotii (elise & Esprit V8) we have come up with a plan to avoid speeding issues.
And the plan has a name - Harriet...
...she's a 1927 vintage sports car.
Well at least the liucence will be safe this year, even if the support car is going to get there first tghis year!

Thanks for that.
Yup - I was talking about this weekend. Looks like one year I'll have to go to the Classic LM as well then....

I had my licence confiscated in 2003...I was doing about 129 kph in a 90 kph zone.
The polite gendarmes escorted 2 of us (support car that year was a Focus RS) via a cashpoint to a police station where they liberated us of 130 euros each and removed our licences.
Whilst that put a bit of a dampener on things (and we drove like nuns afterwards) it is worth observing that at least they couldn't give us any points and the gentlemen in question very obviously ignored our attempt at a subtle departure from the police station without our licences (my other half - the only other driver with us - drove my car around the corner and then ran back to collect the other one!).
Anyway - I've solved the problem this year by going in a 1927 vintage sports car!

I have heard that if you have an open top classic its possible to get out onto the circuit at some point on Friday. Anyone know if this is true / how to go about it?
