Hi Mark, we are in Tertre  Rouge and have 5 tickets for our 4 vehicles so should have room for you, we take an extra ticket due to the camper having an awning and taking a lot of space, when I used to fly in (cessna) I just walked into the camp sites with my gear in carrier bags (looks like I have been shopping), anyhow if you want to join us mail me on  matchlesspat@aol.com and we can sort it out, we should be there by Wednesday evening if the 1972 camper keeps running,
1972 BMW powered Bedford CF1 camper, V 12 Aston, Merc coupe, and one other yet to be bought.

Hi guys, been away from LM for a few years, bit of a bike accident! wrote off a 1929 1000cc V twin Matchless, question is are the Tetre Rouge camping pitches numbered this year? if so do you have any chance to get the spot you want? thNKS  pAT
 The BMW powered Bedford CF1 will be dusted off or de slimed for this years trip, dont they go green after only a few years storage under a tree!

   Pat        will bring the army matchless G3l again

Hi Mike how did the trip go? no rain I hope? not very dry here, regards, Pat and the bedford cf camper,

might be able to help, how many do you need? going to a f*****g wedding this year, bugger,  Pat

  :'(when I had my brush with death in Aug.04, 4X4 verses 1929 Matchless model X, I was on my way to a wedding, well her brother is getting married in 2006, June 2006, you guessed, she who must be obeyed said as I missed the last wedding, (and most of 2004) I had to go to this one, well I thought as there are four weekends in June I still had a fighting chance, BOLLOCKS, no Matchlesspat or moped boy next year, my first fail since 1986!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost forgot, remember Moped Boy? do you think he has been a bit quite recently? well he has been on my phone (bill) 24/7, he has a GIRLFRIEND!!!

Hi, I haven't been paying much attention lately, do we have the dates for 2006 LM yet, wifey is trying to tie me down, or is it stich me up, not sure, anyhow June is getting a bit full up already,  Pat

  we had a great day on sunday, drove down, 100 miles, in my 1929 Dodge DA, we were parked in the members park and picnic area on levant bank, you can see some pictures at www.prazzi.com/revival , you can spot me at the bottom of page 8 of sundays pictures, trying to lift my wife's skirt for the camera, you can just see one of the dodge's wooden wheels,

MGA 1600 MK1 soft top, great car with similar mechanicals to MGB but a totally different car (thank god) MGB engine will bolt straight in and MGB overdrive box is an easy fit, I paid £100.00 for mine, in 1973, what about a BMW 3.0csi?

   Pat

or a Bedford CF with BMW engine?

I think the camp sites changed ownership a year or two ago, probably explians the price rise, yes they have had new showers and toilets for the last two or three years, the track is a lot nearer to the site now, the grandstands are not in the site but lower down at track level, they do block the view from an area of the site,
  We will be there from wednesday late afternoon (if the slightly used autobox holds together)

  team moped boy and dad are in Tertre rouge, look for the Bedford BMW camper, a few honda 90's, moped boys aprilia 50, maybe a silver piagio 80 if I cam make the piece of s**t run for more then 10 mins, and the Matchless,
  the matchless has pannier bags that attach to the frames shown in the picture, maybe they can hold the cassette player?
  ps. : we suspect moped boy has discovered GIRLS!!!! could be worse he might have discovered boys!

  shall we use channel 7 to warn of speed traps? although the BMW powered Bedford is usually under the limit owing to its all up weight of about 4 1/2 tons when loaded with 5 people, 5 bikes, three fridges etc etc

 :)Wilco, If you need any piloting advice I flew my old kite (cessna 172) into LM in 86, 87, 88 and 89, will be in MB at 11 am,

Hi Mr Toad, is the chopper parade still on, if so where / when? the 1941 Matchless G3l is still ready for escort duties,
