CA Headquarters on Blue Nord

[RaceTeam-PR]

Hi all,

I stayed with some not CA friends at BN for the first time this year - sorry to miss the CA camp, but I didn't really see it. (Trouble with the eyes when exposed to alcohol...)

But the toilets where very fine in my opinion. Cleaned almost every hour during day time, from 6.30 in the morning until 7 at night. (Have never found out, which is AM and PM? 7 is mornig here in denmark, 19 is evening, it's so easy...)

Showers...they were fine - but there were not enough. Really, six cabins for all of us? Luckily woke early up for a piss both thursday and saturdy, only few people in line, got the shower, went back to bed. - And hot water both times! Or should I say, boiling hot for one minut, then icecold for 30 seconds, and then boiling hot again. It worked for me, kept the hangovers away

But all together a very nice capsite, great to get the tentpegs in, not too hard or soft, and fine security all over, saw only the 6 french jugglers there were camping up the road, but they didn't make any trouble, only a lot of noise.


And then, this year, I was sp lucky, to have my english vocabulary increased. I really did not know, that "f**k off, you cheese-eating surrender monkeys" ment that the french gendarmerie should go somewhere else and blow there whistles

Thx for a great week.

Suffering from Camp Carnage withdrawl symtoms and clicked the wrong button.

Please deduct one vote for 'Liked the CA Camp - but would prefer it on another site'

Add one to  'Superb - Put me down for next year'

It was great to be all together - but it would be nice to be back on MB for next year, so we don't have our complete group on Sunday afternoon staring at 3,5 inch screens with RLM shouting out on the radio. It gave me the feeling we might as well camp at a truck stop on the A1 to Paris
I wanna walk out of my tent and see, smell and feel the cars come by!

Paddy, you still can.  You've just got to exercise those little legs a bit further

If it gets bigger and better I fear many of us will be arrested, in hospital, or dead rather than returning back to Blighty at the end of the weekend as happy healthy (kind of) people.

 the devil on my left shoulder thinks bring it on and lets do it again...

I say, bring it on!!  (But would prefer 'infield', MB, with the traditional DFH stage et al.)

The other moan was the torture chamber showers......................"what no hot water"............Neil and I nearly had heart attacks....the water must have been fed through DFH's a beer pump ,it was that cold.

Well, if it was fed through our beerpumnp it wouldn't have been that cold, as the bloody thing wasn't working as it should be! This is the second but also the last time this beerpump will be seen in Le Mans!

Third time actually, it was a loaner once for JPC's keg!

[LangTall]

I know, but it's the second time we used it, and got fed up with it!

I have been to many CA gatherings over the years and seen many strange things but in my wildest dreams I never thought I'd ever see a grown man with a live crab gaffer taped to his bollocks

Missed that!


photos?

I do have photos but after the discretion and restraint shown by those that have photos of the  unfortunate incident that I was involved in last year I will apply "Vegas rules" to this one too.

Correction again. First time it came to Le Mans was in 2004, and it worked correctly then on Heineken. I get the feeling it just doesn't like German beer - so my guess is it's just a discriminating piece of machinery. German draft machines tend to like German beer better, let's stick to that from now on!

If it's any consolation, the beer pumps in the Members' Grandstand bar failed on Saturday afternoon, just when the sun was at its hottest! The queue got a bit long while they found an alternative!

I too have photos, and no Bob U style incident in 2008 means I have no reason to not post them.
