As always Nadine at the tourist office has everything sorted 2MB and four sets of race,paddock and aco grandstand for euro 420 so much easier than dealing withe the ACP website

Goodness is Nadine still there?!  

I used to deal with her years ago but have developed a more hit n miss approach in the last few years.

Yes she is still there, met her last year for the first time, she has always been good to me never fails to get me exactly what i want and half the price of the agents, and a billion times better to deal with than the ACO. Lovely lady and her english is perfect well worth popping into the tourist office when you are in le mans town.

If you are ordering on the ACO site, I would advise having at least 2 credit cards available.

The one they rejected yesterday, they accepted today.

The ACO moves in mysterious ways.

Wow, there is going to be a hell of a group of CAers on MB next year.

Roll call:

Jules G plus son Alex and Batman with his 2 boys
Fran
Si
Martini
Barry + Jo
Steve Pyro +

Add Fran to the list and more than likely Newcastle Dave.

We should have dinner at Arnage on Friday night then head down to Arnage corner for qualifying.

Afterall, Friday will be my 40th birthday!

[gt6]

No they will not normally officially open until Friday but I know some people who got there on thursday last year and manageed to get on the sites but facilities usually arrive/open on friday so beware.

Sorry, what was that? You'll have to shout, my hearing's not so good these days. Are you the man from the gasboard? Where's George gone?

Camp sites open Thursday for the Classic, usually about 2pm to allow the queues to build up to silly lengths.
It would be a lot easier for them if they opened at 9am, so everybody arrives steadily through the day.

I travelled over on the monday last year to be nice and early, so had to potter around for a few days, it wasn't until the wednesday that I found out it was the thursday if you know what I mean, then got there earlyish to find out it was 2.00pm opening. There is only so much supermarket wandering you can do. And the then there was the heat...

Do you want a cake for your birthday Si, sure we could rig up a cake tin oven.
