2006 help for American newbies

...........I can only wish you the best of luck with drinking beer from Ms Ickx's V*gina.

That reminds me of a stage show I saw in Hamburg many moons ago ...........................  

[Fran]

Steve - I am shocked and dismayed by this latest pic.   I do believe you are trying to pass off Amsterdam as being Hamburg.... my clues would be the yellow (dutch style) front numberplates on those cars, not to mention the architectural style and the hint of a canal in the foreground.

Tut tut.... off to the naughty corner with you. 

[Steve Pyro]

My sincere and unreserved apologies Fran.

Here's the Reeperbahn as a goodwill gesture.

[Fran]

Thats more like it Steve     (i think!!)

My only question is do I print this off fill it out and send it to them or just use this as a reference for what I can expect to pay?

Jonny,
I usually fax the form, post them a copy and also e-mail my requirements, that way you've got most bases covered.

I hope you get to fulfill your wish list, our man JPChenet can probably arrange a meeting with Jonny Herbert, and I can only wish you the best of luck with drinking beer from Ms Ickx's V*gina.

I may have misread that last bit...

H, I would love to meet Jonny honestly if he's driving this year for Champion or whomever. Good chap I've always thought and bloody quick too. I was just wanting Vanina's # to go downstairs....that would be a bonus wouldn't it? But good God what do they have running around over there in France? Should I just laminate myself from the waist down?  Note to self no one night stands with French girls....Allors, When I fax the order form shall I just request a campsite and then if they don't have it they will tell me so? Where is the majority of all of you camped at?

[Steve Pyro]

There's a large CA contingent camped in Maison Blanche with a large splinter group (my group / Bob U / Perdu and team plus others) in Houx Annexe.  Others favour Bleu and Beausejour.

The ACO will tell you if a camping space is available at your choice by acknowledging receipt of your 'order' (before Xmas).  If your choice is not available, you'll probably be offered Beausejour.

However, nearer to the race, camping passes appear on this forum (Sell or Swap), so you may be able to trade.

[Andy Zarse]

That's also a marvellous example of Dada-esque ordering from the ACO, mind you, what do you expect from the nation that gave us Jean Paul Sartre and Plastic Bertrand?

For all that, Plastique Bertrand was a Belge, but I take your point H. It might have been ca plane pour him, but it certainly isn't for the poor buggers like us who have to deal with the conceptual surrealists at the ACO.

Personally, I think we need to take a strong line with the faux illusionists at the booking office and I have no better offering than the extreme anti-humanism of Nietzche, perhaps as expounded in Nick Land's book: "The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism". I think they'd get the message.

[Jonnyspa27]

OK I'm going to have a French friend of mine call the ACO ticket office tomorrow to see what the scoop is so hopefully I can get a better answer with someone who is French doing the research. We shall see...

Question: I was curious to know what the ladies are like there at the race? Pretty laid back and cool? Bitchy and stuck up? Or the typical mixture of both?

[smokie]

They are just ladies. There's some of each type you mention I guess, and more.

You have to understand that it's a race meeting, albeit with elements of partying. However as such it's pretty weighted towards the malke of the species and therefore probably not the best place in France to go trawling for ladies...

quite right Fran, we must keep Steve honest! Mind you when I last saw the Reeperbahn it wasn't that neat

Yep, that's pretty much it!!  You certainly don't get the young female element you get at Sebring!

Maybe we need to introduce beads to Le Mans??

Hi JP,
        I suggest the French Ladies are too sofisticated to be  deceived with cheap plastic beads. French Girls look elegant even in Jeans and TShirts   Just smitten what else can I say

"...the French Ladies are too sofisticated to be  deceived with cheap plastic beads"

That statement says something about Amercian ladies too! 

[Jonnyspa27]

I kinda figured they'd be like women anywhere, a whole mix of all looks, styles and attitudes....
