hello all
« on: December 31, 2006, 07:14:28 am »
Hey, I'm a big Le Mans fan should be over in '07, hope to pull a camping ticket from someone, have a Subaru WRX STI and the lady has a Subaru 2.5 RS, and we need the all wheel drive as we live in Alaska. Have been to Le Mans a couple of times, and although this is a Brit page, I hope to get to know you all well. ;D

Hello, I hope you enjoy your visits to club arnage, don't be too alarmed if some of the threads take an odd turn!

Alaska to Le Mans sounds a bit of a trek! good luck getting tickets.

The ACO may be your first stop if your not to worried about which site you stay on, otherwise camping passes will start to become available later in the year on this site.

Club Arnage is far from being a Brit page, people from Canada and the States, Holland, Germany and France plus many others (includeing some small Islands just of the French Coast, that will forever be a part of Britain!) are members.

Welcome.

Having been a Scooby owner since for the past six years, I'm getting rid of my current WRX on Thursday and switching my allegiance to Nissan and the 350Z. Subaru's are truly great cars, their capabilities are really quite awsome. I mean, just how stupid do you have to be to put one off the road? No doubt I'll be back when the new Impreza comes out next year.

Stay in touch on this website and you will definitely get a camping ticket. Oh and Alaska to Le Mans must be some kind of record.

Welcome armysti.

Thats some traveling.  But you'll enjoy every minute.  As other have said we a diverse lot and CA is not just for Brits.
Le Mans is really a festival/party given by the French for the Brits.  But everyone is welcome.

May be this is a good time to remind people about the Frapper page http://www.frappr.com/clubarnage/

Aside from anyone coming from Aus and NZ, you must get the prize for the longest and most awkward journey to get to the world's greatest motor race.  Welcome aboard, enjoy the forum and make yourself known at Le Mans during race week. 

I imagine that there are some fantastic ice rallies and off-road events in your neck of the woods there.

Wow- that must be one hell of an experience - rather like the Dakar, but in snow/ice, with dogs to look after and control for motive power instead of combustion engines.....must be some sense of achievement if you do that one!

There is a bit of racing up here, I autocross the STI and hope to get into C spec racing later on in the lower 48, when i have more time. C spec here is alot like the Radicals you have. Kinda scared to do wheel to wheel, but love racing the clock. How does a person get a camping ticket? I plan on a rental car and hanging out, but after reading through the posts, it sounds like the tickets are spoken for.
