The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Anyone going down to Le Mans this year for the race? I'll be travelling down on Thursday morning on the 8.20am train. Anybody graphicing up there cars? Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Train...... where's the fun in that Have fun Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 Ferry sucks. Channel Tunnel train much more fun. Can play cards on the way and then blast our way past the Gendarme on the roads. Going with my mate in his EVO. I'll be in my Zed. Quote
The G Man Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Very, very jealous I was going to organise a club orientated trip this year, but a daughter who announced her pregnancy late last year (gave birth yesterday) and the chance thereof, of doing my house refurb, meant that it wasn't to be!! It would be rude not to sticker up the car, that's a must! Good luck and have a great time, next year I'll be trying my damnedest to organise a trip Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 doing a few simple graphics. not like my last time down there in my 206. Didn't have time to do what I really wanted to do. Next year hopefully. It'll be Legen.... Wait for it!!! DARY!!! Quote

Good luck and have a great time, next year I'll be trying my damnedest to organise a trip G-man Congratulations on the arrival of the little one, you must be chuffed BBK - have a fantastic trip, was hoping to do this one year. Would be tempted to go see the classic leman with all those ferraris, astons and the gt40s Quote

The G Man Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for the congrats Here's one I stickered up earlier (2009) Quote
BladesGrant Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I'm traveling down and taking the tunnel. Setting off Tuesday and having an overnight stay in Rouen and then arrive in Le Man on Wednesday. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 10, 2012 Author Posted June 10, 2012 first time i went we went down on the thursday. was so much fun as we met up with so many people on their way and joined a supercar convoy. the next year we went a day early and it was so boring. So nobody around. The drive down there is half the fun! Quote
docwra Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah, heading down Wednesday but due to a late change of vehicle (Campervan failed Mot ) Zed wont be stickered up From a few years ago though: Quote
vern Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 We are going down on Thursday. Catching the 7.35 ferry from Dover & will be leaving Northamptonshire at 3.30am - ouch! It's out 4th time and the last time we went down was 2010 in the 350z. This is the first time for the 370z. We haven't stickered up this time, although we did get a few last time out, but it's sort of crept up on us a bit this year and I left it too late to sort anything. Keep an eye out for us.......it's ultimate yellow, so there shouldn't be too many!! Quote
pbomb Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I was there for the test day weekend before last. Should be awesome . You guys camping or staying in hotels? Quote
p40ulw Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 i will be working in the irish sea! BUT i am going to the german F1 next month and taking the ZED! Quote
vern Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 We are staying at Houx campsite again this year (we have on all 4 occasions) I'm not really sure how the hotels would work to be honest, as Le Mans city it a good few miles away from the circuit and almost certainly you would have to drive in each day and park etc. I'd rather leave the car once I get there and then have a few beers, rather than worry about getting breatherlised by the French Rozzers. It looks like the weather should be fine for most of the day tomorrow in the UK and mostly France, so for once all the effort I've put in polishing and waxing the beast should be worthwhile!! Quote
CrumbMC Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I went to the WEC race in spa (one of the 6 hour races in the championship that LeMans is now part of). The Audis were so fast. i have never seen anything monster a corner like the E-tron going up Au-rouge. I would love to go to Le Mans some time. maybe i could convoy down with some of you next year. only prolem is i live in Cumbria so it's a right mission down to the euro tunnel. Have fun!! Chris Quote

I think I'm at the Houx too! Waiting for my mate who booked it to confirm. Look out for the Black Zed with "The Bounty Bar Kid" written down the side of it. Quote
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 Houx Annexe, shame. Was at the Houx last time I went back in 08. Quote
vern Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I'll keep a look out for you all the same..... I'd like to go to see an endurance race at Spa. I just love the curcuit and imagine that seeing an LMP1 blasting through Eau rouge would be something special. I can remember my first time at Le Mans during the night practice and being down close to the track just before Tetre Rouge and hearing the old 7.0 litre (I think) GT1 Corvettes for the first time and I could feel my internal organs shaking as they went past....

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 Unfortunately I have to leave on the Saturday night. Gotta get back to work on the Sunday, or no one in the company will get paid at the end of the month. Has to be in by Monday morning. Bloody gits! :@ Quote
