Classic Le Mans 2008 - Are you coming too?
« on: January 04, 2008, 11:08:47 pm »
Ferry booked 23.45, 9th of July, tickets for Arnage etc in hand. Let there be good weather. Who else is coming and where are you staying?

Will there be a Club Arnage Group area?

See you at CLM 2008.

Lick up the honey and ask no questions.

YES-WE ARE THERE!!!!!

Booked ferry last week- a rather reasonable price from ol turpin, going out hi speed on friday morning and hopefully staying on MB if Newcastle_Dave filled in the forms right ::)

Should be a dozen or so of us- Daves boys and the Drs' Barrel O Monkeys.

Got the Alfa in the workshop over Xmas and pulled it apart- not much grot for a 36 year old Italian, race against time to get her fit and gleaming in time- Cannot wait!

We'll be there, I've requested MB camping.  Not sure when we're going down - it will depend how long we decide to go to LM for as holiday time is a bit of a problem.

We were going and had requested MB camping.
Arriving Friday morning.

However some friends are getting married on the Saturday in UK, so we now have a dilema.

We did decide to go to the wedding, and miss LMC, but now having very serious second thoughts about missing the Classic.

I'll be there. Ferry booked overnight on the Tuesday from Portsmouth to Le Havre to arrive mid afternoon on Wednesday.
Anyone got any info on the dress code for the paddock?

Yes, will be there for the first time, booked Maison Blanche. A friend of mine owns a classic Triumph, so we'll arrive in style. No cooling trailer, generator and draft beer equipment though, stupid car doesn't have a draw bar or decent sized trunk ;D ;D ;D

BTW - is there any organized Triumph owners meeting or the opportunity of doing a track lap ?

Cheers

Yes I'll be there from Friday afternoon, staying in a house centre Le Mans, I don't really care for the campsite atmosphere at the classic and you can easily move around by car unlike the 24 Heures.

Don't worry about the dress code for the paddock Risky just casual is fine.

I am thinking about it, maybe friday-sunday, staying on whatever campsite is available.
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

Paul Z and myself plus probably the Gimp and a few others, so a definite Zarse presence in MB.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Yep a small party of 4 will make the trip for the first time to the classic.

Booked and paid for 2 camping in Karting and also booked and awaiting confirmation for another 2 on the mb building site due to a comms error.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

YES-WE ARE THERE!!!!!

Booked ...........and hopefully staying on MB if Newcastle_Dave filled in the forms right ::)

Should be a dozen or so of us- Daves boys and the Drs' Barrel O Monkeys.


Forms went in in November asking for MB.  Got no reply back though so sent an email a few days ago asking if they got form and got reply:
"Dear Sir,  Yes we have received your order but it won’t be registered before a few months. Happy new year."

Wont be registered - what does that mean????  I am placing my trust that the tickets will come through.

Really looking forward to it - will be one of my highlights of 2008.
