Right,
As I spend most of my time driving around in my tatty Citroen ZX Turbo Diesel, I thought the time has come for me to try and scrounge a few rides in some exotic machinry whilst I am at Le Mans. You know the sort, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, TVR's, Mitsubishi Evo's, Lancia Delta Evo's etc etc. This is purely so that when we are drooling over the Auto Trader/ Classic Marquees during tea break at work, I can say (OK then brag), "I've been in one of those, fantastic etc etc". So if any kind person would like to have my rotund body squeezed into their passenger seat for 5 mins or so, please leave details below.
All offers considered.
Stu

Well Stu....... If the showers on Houx Annexe aren't to your liking we'll probably take the Fiat Uglicar off to the Carrefour every day for fresh supplies if you fancy a spin  Or I might take the Mogan Plus 8 out one day if you fancy it  Not a lot of room for food and booze though!!  |

How about a bike with four wheels (and two engines)... I'm coming down in this again this year http://www.zcars.org.uk/z100.htm along with about 8 other bike-engined-cars. If you see (or hear me) you 'll have to shout as I'll be a bit deaf after driving all the way down there Simon |

Plus, now to realy show-off took a Sunbeam Tiger MK2 all the way there and back, narking of a lot of fake snakes in the process, it seriously fast!!! This year its only a loony scooby fast but not half as much fun as a classic. Next year maybe somthing exotic and Italian..... |

 Mrs RS2 babe and I blagged a good go in an F40 in Geneva in the summer. My go lasted about 15 mins but she was gone an hour and came back with her hair a mess and her skirt on inside out - that must have been a hell of a journey - perhaps they got lost?  I'm sure that the playboy good looking, expensively smelling (apparently) owner of 10 other Ferrari's including the first Enzo just took a wrong turn!?!?!?

Will take you up on the Morgan. I will also have to try a spot of winetasting with you that week Mark. Stu If you look for wine tasting, some CA members meet friday morning at 10 am at the church square of Le Grand Lucé to a visit of 1 or 2 local wine producers. Sure that would change of beer mountains! |

We'll have a Diablo and an Anniversaty Countach and if tight arse Chris feels like it, a Zonda arriving on friday ( he normally comes down in a crap volvo, although he did bring his 355 cos he had a new bird with him last year) plus a whole bunch of other german nonsense.
Simon is always up for scaring the f**k*ng crap out of anyone in his SV so you may get lucky, but bring fresh underware as he drives like a complete c**t. He arrives on KN on friday.
He hit 320kmh last year on the 138 so be warned.
