How fancies doing LeMan 24 this year. The dates of this event is 17/18th June.

The general thing would be drive down to portsmouth, ferry across, drive to the circuit, camp over night and enjoy the atmosphere, do a bit of sleeping and drive back.

Let me know soon whos interested and I'll look into tickets and ferrys.

 

Mike! This is so, like, last year!

Plans are already in place! Meant to tell you! Call me tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the post guys, but the matter is in hand, although whether I'm going to be allowed to go is another matter
jay has already done us a rough costing spreadsheet,
Cost per car

Ferry £60.00
Fuel £250.00
Camping £75.00

Total per car £385.00
How many people in each car? 3

Cost per person for travel & accomodation £128.33
LeMans entry ticket per person £40.00
Food allowance per person £75.00

Total estimate per person £243.33

DOES NOT INCLUDE ALCOHOL!!!

so, as you can see, roughly, if you take 3 passengers it will cost you each £243 + a 3 way split of the £385 car cost. Personally, I'm up for carrying 4 people in my car, no problem, and will really bring the cost down.
Only problem I've got is going to the scoobyball 6 the weekend before in cambridge which will leave me a bit skint that month.
have to do some extra extra o/t I guess

The problem is not how many people you can carry, but where all their duty free is going to go in the way back (for Personal Consumption obviously)

 

Well I can only carry 1 passenger, they will need a helmet, and there is no room for any luggage what so ever! Should get there pretty quick though!
.................and I don't mean my bike!

 

oh god pete, no! your not going down in that toy car your building are you?

 

well pete if you don't bother telling me how on earth am i suppose to know.

Been talking about it with mates down here you see, hence my post.

 

Sorry Mike!

Yes Chris, that is the plan. With at least one support vehicle following!!!!!

 

1 large van!!!

 

Yeah! Probably a good idea Andy!

Its hard to believe how little faith everyone has in my engineering skills!

 

We all know you pete, case solved!

 

I've got faith in you mate.

 

Really wanted to do this one, but im busy that weekend with the missus, ive tried to get out of it but she was having none of it.

Im getting married

Mark

 

Congratulations mark, hope the day goes well, pity you couldn't combine the 2, and get married in Le Man
All the best mate, whens the stag do then?
chris

 

As this has clashed with the NBO, I can safely say that it's a no-goer this year to Le Man
If they don't clash next year, it's in the diary, although I will be doing another euro tour in 2007

 

I was thinking the same that it clashed with the NBO, its also the G/F birthday on the 17th so she has a face on her now oh well its a hard life
