Default Planning on taking my Scoob to LeMans 24hrs

Anyone else going?? Just need to get my MY03 Blobeye WRX ran in first as it's currently having a totally rebuid.

My mate is also taking his 05 Blobeye WRX, we go every year and love it!! .It would be nice to meet up with a few other scooby owners.
We will be camping in Houx Annexe for those familiar.

We stay near the 'mad' roundabout too!!! we have most years except last year when we were in MB.(didn't like it) This year it will be Houx Annexe again!
Long shot but we got chatting to a few guys next to us(in Houx Annex) and one of them had an Elise and i grabbed a ride! Could this have been you? He was with a guy that goes regular as well called 'Jon', or mad Jon who always seems to strip naked and runs around the mad roundabout!!

Yeah that's the guy, John with the tattoos! We normally take a 6 berth motorhome in the spot next to the toilet block, obviously right next to you.

You wont stand a chance, even with the Audis running Diesels ...unless it rains, then you may keep up in the twisties
Joking aside have a great time, i went a few years ago and its an amazing experience and would love to go again some time.

We're going on the Wednesday, camping in Chapelle at the base of the Dunlop Bridge.
Roll Call if all goes well will be:

My Scoob or Evo
MY01 WRX
Evo 6 GSR
Evo 7 GSR
Evo 8 FQ300
Luggage hack, Zafira VXR or similar

You guys should pass us so stick your heads in and say HI! Def down on the mad Houx Annexe roundabout on the Sunday night

I'll probably end up buying a UK300 or UK STI

Mk 4 Golf
BMW or Jag
RX7
VX 220
Classic scoob
Exige or cooper s
A couple other cars
then the all important van
