Local Hero
« on: June 06, 2003, 01:04:10 am »
jpchenet tells me that sticker sales have (almost) reached cost, with a few more due in. This is great news, thanks and well done jp for the initiative, and for getting the sticker sorted in record time.

Local Le Mans layabout Gilles has been such a valuable and willing source of information and help to many members here (including researching and producing detailed maps) that we have decided to use the profit to buy Gilles the Parking Blanc ticket he wanted. I have the ticket to give him when we meet.

So Gilles, a Big Thankyou from all sticker-purchasing members of the Club Arnage forum. Let's hear it for

Yes, definitely. Thanks for all the valuable information, Gilles

I completely agree - fantastic work Gilles, merci beaucoup!

Many thanks

I really don't know if it's good to me to go at the shampoo bar...
... I gonna have a job for the night and being drunk won't help me to do it!!!!




 ;) Of course I'm just kidding, I'll be there... I just make no promess on the number of glasses I gonna share with you. As saturday evening will be an hard work evening, if someone has the idea to bring a glass to me at the stand, it will become harder to refuse !!!   :P
Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

Between Powermite and the bogs. Backining onto the sh*t swamp that occurred one day when the sucker lorry didn't come early enough.

I was parked directly in front of PM last year Smokie, when the boghouse bubbled up. Was the funniest thing (at least for me) to see your mates trying to rescue their nearly submerged machines without getting their feet submerged in the stinkin goo. A scene I will not soon forget.
