I'm off to Le Mans tonight!

[smarjoram]

Not long now and I'll be speeding off to the port in my SC - with my friends in their Skyline and Lotus Elise a little way behind ; )

Tomorrow morning we'll be in the middle of the greatest race in the world. Fantastic cars everywhere you look - plenty of Porsches. Drive around the track on Friday, pitwalk on Saturday, French wine, beer, cheese and crepes and a Legends race before the main event featuring 917's GT40's and 512's WOOHOO!

I'll post some images when I come back.

Stefan, why aren't you taking the SC? Still got teething problems from the service?

[smarjoram]

I am - read the first line again.

Turns out the problem was with the new plugs. I put the old ones back in and everything's fine.

[Paul Franssen]

I only "scan" read your post... "port..SC" (which port would that then be, Charleston?)...then ..French wine, cheese...er..WHAT wine? Oôôh you're British! (OK-I should have guessed...)
Have a moooooost enjoyable stay in Normandy, Smarjoram!
(weather seems to be holding out, too!)

[smithH]

where are staying I too will be at Lemans?
we are camping at kart nord.

[smarjoram]

I'm camping in Technoparc - just opposite you. What colour's your car - I may have a wander over at some point. Mine's a platinum (beige) metallic coupe with no spoiler. Say hello if you spot us amongst the other 80,000 Brits : )

[Big_Mac]

Doh! Glad you got it sorted out.
I decided not to go this year - next year's Classic Monaco and LeMans perhaps? And there is always the Porsche parade in Spain.

[smarjoram]

Classic Monaco would be great - if there's an affordable way to do it.

[AirCooledExcellence]

Cool!!! - Have a great time Stefan, make sure you take plenty of pics!

Cheers

[nick-moss]

See you there Stefan. I am in the blue campsite on a blue and white BMW 1150GS, reg M9OSE

[rs911t]

Man, that is just too cool! Take lots of pictures and video! We require a comprehensive report!! Have fun!

[Big_Mac]

If you booked through the club, then don't forget to check out the PKSport garage on the pit lane walkabout.
Looking forward to seeing your photos

[masraum]

I'd give a body part to see the vintage race. The current race would be very cool too.

[Glasgow 911SC]

Hope you have a great time Lads!
How many (non-factory obviously) Porsches are competing this year?

[Deeks]

Stefan,

Have a great time and take some nice snaps for us ??

I've been going for the last four years with my Lotus friends but this year I'm giving it a miss for the "Festival of Speed" in July.
It's a shame that recently the local "gendarmes" have really been cracking down and, so doughnuts and burnouts in the town centre on friday/saturday night have all but disappeared (God I would've loved to be there in 1971 !!).

You might be lucky if you hang out at Arnage on friday afternoon though

Have a cracker.

[Deeks]

I forgot to mention....

Any chance of a request ?

A pic of one of the TVR Tuscans being over-taken by a GT3RS on the inside of the Porsche Curves would be great......
