I would use a CA email addy too, but as to the blog, would you need it to be updated daily? There is a lot of commitment to doing a blog, it has to be a hobby in itself.

Hi Steve, that must be the area that a couple of ACO stewards let Nick and I into on the Saturday to see if we could find a spot for the Midget and the tent. Every thing was taped and fenced off up in that corner near the roadway, track by Houx so we came out and stopped on Antares. They didn't seem very fussed about us going in there, but obviously there wasn't any room by then. Would you mind watching over a space for us, we do have them booked after all.
Next daft question, sorry! Do you park cars between, or in front of the tents? How do you keep the places, just with the fences? When you jet off to other bits of the circuit...

Sorry if I'm being a pain, but if it was just Nick and I alone I wouldn't be as concerned. Just having others tagging along on the strength of just how much we liked last year is a bit of a liability.

Ditto, far too much like someone sitting here at the moment, typing and remembering the last time I got ..... enjoying myself, and others.

Libra, too.

What is the form about camping at Houx Annexe? Our group have booked spaces for five Spridgets and a Volvo Amazon. Are they kept reserved or do you have to get there early and fight off allcomers and the fearsome "pikeys"?
We will be there on Friday early afternoon I expect. Last time I just chucked up a tent on the grass at Antares before the race on the Saturday, only "lost" one tent peg while away watching the noisy motorcars until the early hours.

Returning on the Pride of Le Havre on the Monday night, Nick (andynick) and I were parked alongside this in the hold. A wonderful noise when she started up to drive out.

And I will be in my MG Midget, Lara, again.  

(Have to URL it 'cos the picture is too big for attaching, sorry)

Thanks bigH, I always wanted that Dinky Toy when I was a kid. Now I have seen it... I still want it, but now the real one please.

I have been enjoying this marvellous thread for weeks,  I just realised all the old pictures had timed out. The ultimate Commer/ Le Mans link that was discussed on page 10, the Ecurie Ecosse transporter  (were there more than one of those) was at Le Mans last year too I think. I am trying to attach a picture I took in the ferry queue at Le Havre on the monday night, with two nice cars on board. I think they were both Jags, but couldn't get close enough to look while trying not to be too nosy.

Doesn't look as if the attachment is possible but I am very new at this sort of stuff.

Maybe if I just post the url...

So, now we know why those computer comics always have a free AOL disc "onboard". Brilliant, thanks DR.

 
I haven't watched it since the seventies I reckon, but I really enjoyed it too. Amazing how little the spectator areas have changed since then.



 Hated sharing it with adverts. I did tape it though.

Hi all, I'm new here. (As if you won't notice! Sorry!) Thanks for telling us about that film. Thursday is my day off so guess how I'll be spending a couple of hours of it. Cheers.
