General Discussion / Re:Buying tyres in france
« on: August 10, 2004, 04:38:54 pm »
Hi all !

How could tyres be more expensive in England than in France ???  :o  ;D

I know a very good website selling tyres online :

http://www.mytyres.co.uk/

This is the UK part of a European website selling tyres at very low price... I've already ordered Bridgestone SO2 and SO3 for my 911, the price for 4 tyres is almost 250 euros less than in any tyre shop in France...

Hope you'll find what you need !  :)

nice ring ;)

Sorry, you're all very cool guys but I'm already married...  :(
And do you know what my husband told me last night, as I was telling him about all of you ? He said you imagine me as a perfect girl coz you've never seen me when I'm with him in the garage, working on the 911, and 2 hours later I tell him I want to go back home to sleep, as he could stay there all night long ;)
Well, actually, he's right, I prefer to sit in the car, fasten my harness, and drive for hours, than to spend 2 or 3 nights in the garage, working on boring mechanical stuff  :D

Need any idea for your tee shirts ?
That's a picture from the last week end with my friends and I, and our friend, which is also a great pilot, Stephane Daoudi (modena JMB Racing) in the middle of the picture  ;)

We all had a tee shirt with our nicknames  :D

A couple of Bike engined kit cars didn't fair so well - one cracked it's sump on the way over leaving its trail up the slipway.

oh sh*t !!!  :-\
how many inches from the ground was the kit car ? remember ?

critchetti : I guess you're coming this year ?  8)

Hi Perdu ! I wasn't at le tertre rouge for the start... I was in the Porsche corner, I saw the 2 Audis go straight into the tyres, and a Porsche and a Ferrari following them a few seconds after...
I spent a moment at le tertre rouge during the night and also on sunday morning... :)

next year, you can be sure I'll come and say hello  ;)

Hi all !

thanks for your invitations  ;)
L.A. is quite far from home ! I've never been to california but I'd like to :) I've only visited the eastern coast...
Never been to Poland either...

Hi guys !

I'm a newbie here, I'm from Paris, I've been reading that forum for a few month but it's my first time posting here ! :)

I'll introduce myself briefly : I'm a 27 yrs old girl, I love endurance races (especially Le Mans), I hate Formula one, I have a go-kart and used to race in local competitions during 2 years but I had to stop because of money :( I also have an old 911, it used to be an SC at the beginning, but now transformed as a 3.0 RS replica (had to work more than 2 years on it). I go on track with it, and I also drive it during historical meetings.
I like old english cars, many friends of mine have ones (MGs, Austin Healeys, Triumphs, Lotus, Jaguars, TVRs, etc...) and I'm very impressed when I see all of you guys from England having so many beautiful cars, perfectly restored, with powerful engines... Your country is a dream for car lovers ! :)

I hope we'll meet one day at Le Mans or somewhere in England (I've planned to go to Silverstone next August...)

General Discussion / LMES at Silverstone - August 2004
« on: June 15, 2004, 06:43:23 pm »
Hi there ! :)

I'm a newbie in club arnage, I'm a french girl, just coming back from Le Mans (great race, except for the pescarolo #17, too bad they couldn't finish :( I love that team ! )

Well, I need to ask you some questions about Silverstone, I'm gonna go there for the first time in my life next august for the LMES race !

1st : is it possible to buy tickets for camping and all stuff at the last moment ? or do I have to book everything in advance ? is there any website that gives some information about ticket price, camping, ... ? (like lemans.org)

2nd : how much do you usually pay for the ferry when you come in France ? what company do you travel with ? Is there any problem to take the ferry with sportscars ? I have an old 911 RS 3.0 1974 replica, which is very low (the front spoiler is about 5 inches from the ground) and I'm afraid it could be impossible to come on board with it...

3rd and last question : will some of you come to Silverstone this year for the LMES ? I'd be pleased to meet you there !
And do you think many people will come ? Because for the first race at Monza, there were really not enough people !!!  :(

thanx for all !
