Would be great to meet up with any fellow SNetters travelling to Le Mans next month. Were doing the 23.00Hr crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre on Wednesday 10th June.

911 Carrera, TVR Sagaris & a 67 Mustang in Convoy! Give us a toot if you see us "en route!"

We'll be taking on our usual Thursday night crossing on that route! Just a two-car convoy this year, usual Camping Bleu site and hopefully we won't get stopped by the Gandamerie on Sunday afternoon! Silver MY93 WRX and a mapped Golf TDi - we'll be avoiding the A28

Can't wait to drive the roads, drink some beer and enjoy the sun.....oh, and apparently there's a race on too!

I'll be there, my first year cant wait for it. Will be on the Thursday morning 9.10 crossing from dover. Going down in my WRX, not looking forward to the fuel bill though

Sounds like i might be near you Goatblower, will be somewhere in Karting Nord, not sure what to fully expect though

Tidgy

went a few years back, had a ratehr bad experiance due to camping and food poisening, but thats a whole different ball game lol

dsmith

8th Year for me. Will be in this though in a convoy of 3 (MGMidget, MGB, Spitfire) - Dover 6am Thursday morning.

Excitement building now :-)

i went last year and enjoyed it but there are some complete tw@ts there as well, they have some beers and think they can rally drive around the camp site.

one day someone will loose it and get run over or some will take a hammer to the driver.

the classic is supposed to be the best one now as you don't get all the dicks

Last year & the year before last I took my Impreza - your looking at around £300 in fuel so I hope you have a couple of passengers to spread the cost

Karting Nord is a great spot,expect to see many large beer mountains & lots of drunken shenanigans,last year we made 100m long "Back to the Future" fire trails amongst other firey things!

Didn't see anyone driving like ***** around our campsite but there is a lot of idiots drive like ***** up & down the roads that you have to be wary of

Look out for a BMW 135,an E46cabrio,Merc C class sport,Pug 206 GTi-6,1 or 2 Nissan 200sx's,an FD RX7 & about 15 drunk blokes

Edit: We are all getting the ferry from Dover Thursday morning now,not sure what time,might be the same one or it might be a bit earlier than yours.

on the the monday last year in the blue camp there was a father and son tw@t team in e30 bmw's doing doughnuts around the site ripping it up and getting well stuck almost up to their axles in mud.

the son being in his 20's you could sort of understand but the father in his 40's doing doughnuts while holding it on the rev limiter just shouts @rsehole and should have none better.

funniest thing i saw was 3 robin reliants painted in gulf racing colours on british plates zipping around

ABScooby

Well its only money dont think the turbo will be seeing much action on this trip! Bet the guy's in the 200SX's and RX7 will be worse than me.

Have heard about nutters on the road especially when the straight is opened up.

I'll keep an eye out for you, but we couldnt manage too early a start.

Yeah we saw them in 2007 - there were 6 of them in convoy cruising up & down the main street in Arnarge.

Jue M

I shall be there, traveling down in my black Nissan Navara

Portsmouth - Le Harve 23.00 Thursday

Bleu Nord - Camping

Le Harve - Portsmouth 23.00 Sunday

ABScooby

Might sound a daft question but do they call super unleaded anything different over there?

DaveD

iTrader: (2)

Super Sans Plomb if I remember correctly!

Jue M - I'll also be on the Thursday night ferry and in Bleu Nord - rusty silver WRX with a Golf TDi!
You'll have plenty of room in your Nissan for supplies!

All the pumps usually have the octane ratings on them so it's easy enough to work out & the first fuel stop/top up after getting off the ferry is a service area with a Shell forcourt & V-Power is V-Power wherever you are!

ABScooby

Which would be better then, fill up over here before the crossing or when in france?

I think its cheaper in the UK now I paid €1.22 a litre for supermarket 98 ron last time I filled up will be even more on the motor ways

goatblower

I usually fill up before I leave then top up at the first services after getting off the ferry & have to fill up once more about an hour or so from Le Mans,all depends on how you drive I guess
