General Discussion / Re: Interesting Car Registration Numbers

« on: September 10, 2008, 05:13:15 pm »

From memory (so that's a little dodgy)

In Southampton the was a mini OSH 1 T , Roger Clark had 1 GO, Paul Daniels has MAG 1 C and Jimmy Tarbrush has COM 1 C and there was another mini about with RAP1D, I'm sure there are lots off very crap plates around all the drivings schools nab PA55 so it looks like PASS we have a school near us that is APASS you can guess what that look s like?

Drop by for a warm one.

Will do that
We're on Rang X Place 4 where ever that is.... Blue TR 250, will put a CA Flag on the tent. We plan to arrive Friday late afternooen, but that depends on the performance of the car (and the drivers...) and the amount of repair stops

Cheers

Werner

We were on X and Y 89-90 if the pitches are in the same place its 2nd row inside the wall by the old track or by the "trackside" pitches that were not!

from memory the Rotunda was open during the 24 hour race for the accreditation process and not general ticket collection.

as Debbie says, the museum is the location for ticket collection etc, they have a good shop too.

Must be mistaken then because Piglet had to get a GA ticket reissued the bar code was broken and she went to the Rotunda and the nice lady there  reprinted it for her

The Rotonde according to my accreditation email is open Thursday 10th at 10.00-18.30, Friday 10.00-1830 and Saturday 9.00-16.00 but that doesn't confirm that you can collect GA and camping passes from there!

Classic next month after a detour to Silverstone for some go-kart race!

Then that's it no Le Mans, or any "overseas" races next year(2009).

2010 maybe Sebring, LM classic with the Monte Carlo classic GP as an option along with Pau classic with WTCC a week later. All the normal UK stuff unless we don't run it (WTCC, A1GP, DTM) and assorted club meetings!

General Discussion / Re: 3 Way Fridge Instructions.

« on: June 06, 2008, 07:25:49 am »

Hi Nobby,

One other thing.........if you get the pilot light working and it still does not cool......

Turn the fridge upside down for a few minutes,upright and the try again.Being an absorbtion fridge the refridgerant is ammonia crystals, and sometimes they solidify ,therefore by turning upside down breaks up the crystals and redistributes onto the heater.

The other thing with absorbtion fridges is that they have to be perfectly level in use otherwise they won't work efficently.

Wishy

That works for the combi cool last year at LM it lit but did not cool so we emptied it turn it upside down for a hour or two the put it the right way up (we have fitted a spirit level in the control panel to get ours level) lit it and hay presto cold beer working fine....

Oh one thing to remember with the Combi cool version is the gas part will not work if the thermostat for the elastictricery part is set to anything other than off! And don't ever set the gas thermostat to High only go to 3/4 max cold....

General Discussion / Re: LM Moto 24 - Motors this weekend

« on: April 21, 2008, 09:20:26 am »

Le Mans Moto 24 is on this weekend, there is coverage on and off on Motors over the weekend, it's a good chance to see some of the changes to the circuit although it's the short circuit of course.   

edited to say....it's raining and there are quite a lot of bikes in and on Dunlop beach 

edited again to say....there is live streaming on Eurosport website for the whole of the 24 hours

The TV pictures did showed the "new" track at Maison Blanche, may be Grand Fromage had time to have a look but I know he was having a few meetings prior to the 24 so may not of had time.

My main concern is the failure of Eurosport to provide the live feed ! With all the hype commentators raving on about the coverage and the web site listing full coverage via video streaming the stream went off air at 7 ish Saturday night and didn't re appear until after lunch Sunday (well in UK). If we give Eurosport the benefit of doubt and assume the demand was so huge that the server fell over why were we able to watch the start and finish? I think they just didn't have the balls to go on air and say we made a mistake and the live streaming isn't working... If this is a preview of what the coverage or lack of coverage for June from Eurosport bring back motors tv.....
