Started my car yesterday and my engine management light went on. Bugger.its ok mine conked out today on the M6going to book it in the garage tomorrow!
Good lord! That appears to be a hell of a lot more work than I imagined. It really doesn't look like it will be ready in time now! Does it look to be progressing well?
Yes
I do travel with a mate and meet up with Regulars when I get there, but there are many small groups travelling down to Le Mans offering mutual support.I know ther is a big contingent travel to a Chateau site, north of the circuit. I prefer to travel a good distance further and drive up for the day. Others stop on the circuit and put the car to rest for the duration.
A friend said to me - keep the engine wet and drive steady ( oil level OK, plenty of fuel, and water to keep it cool ), and there is not much that a set of simple tools can't fix.
Its only just over 100 miles from Caen so its hardly crossing the Sahara.
( famous last words..! ) The pics show our commune and son in 'resting' status.
Don't hesitate. Check out the WSCC web-site, some are already planning their trip for 2007.

My mate Paul has the perfect answer to this. He brings the Moggie and lets me provide all the gear
I've done it in the Westie for the last 8 years - including the wet one, and with no.1 son as passenger, taking two tents, sleeping bags, tools, trollies for a week, wok, wedge and passports. The trick is to use lots of bungies, fasten stuff to the roll bar, have a bag under your knees and drive steadily.
I've now reached an age where next year I'm taking a bigger tent ( courtesy of the Decathlon sale ), and a small saloon as I'm not likely to indulge anymore in the Friday antics at Houx or Arnage, and I want more space to bring the crates of Muscadet back.
My matey, takes his Westie and puts a microfridge for the cold beers in the passenger seat.
Go for it - where there's a will there is a way.

the most important question is your own personal body hugeness, me, i wouldn't even get a knee in let alone my arse. don't forget you'll also need a van or truck to bring life's necessities.
The other place to pick up a bargain is actually on one of the campsites. Easy access, most of them are four parts to the wind the moment their feet touch french soil, so they won't miss anything you fancy and its free.
Are you now the proud owner of a lovely Haglofs soft shell jacket by chance? I wouldn't mind picking one up next year if you're about...
is this some sort of secret wrinkley code
