Le Mans 2005

Dave - I'm around on Sunday (although there's a match to watch at 4pm), give me a call.

Friday meet up sounds good - I've never been before so can someone suggest a good place to meet ? (F Chat tee-shirts will be worn)

Rick

 

would love to come but dave will tell you why i cant make any plans

 

There is a good Irish bar in the centre of Le Mans. For those who will be watching the drivers parade, perhaps we can all meet their.

I will try to get together address and map details before we go.

 

Is that the one in the square behind the cathederal, by the car park entrance ?

 

No, it is just off place de la republic.

 

The Irish bar i have in mind for a meet is in Rue Gembetta. The bar is about two hundred yards down on the right hand side as you walk down from Place De La Republic.

You will find Rue Gembetta at the bottom and to the left as you walk or stagger through Republic with the Car Park entrance behind you. If you have gone the correct way, as you turn into Rue Gembetta you will see McDonalds behind you.

Mods, as this event is getting ever nearer, could we please sticky this thread.

 

I know where you are.

 

Are we still meeting Friday morning at Arnage / Indianapolis?

 

Without a doubt Mal.

 

With all the f-chaters who are going to Le Mans, their must be more people who would want an f-chat Lemans T-Shirt. So come on get your orders in.

Dave, If we do not get enough people. is it possible to get a normal f-chat shirt?

 

no problem ... £80 now !

 

How much are the LM t-shirts going to be then Dave?
I pm'ed you a while ago and you said you were trying to sort something out closer to LM!
Cheers

 

I will be there too

 

and of course I should add myself to the northern entry list. Heading down in the micra with a days head start, leaving Dover 11.15 on the Wednesday morning

 

Arthur we are crossing at 8.00am Wednesday so when you pass us in your Micra remember to give us a wave!

 

hi ben, sorry, arthur .... at the last count, i think there were only five or so registered interest in a topical, le mans t shirt ... i will bump the thread, so to speak to try and rekindle the interest.
cheers, d

 

You've got me down for one too ?

Rick

 

How could i possibly miss you out, mate ? ... my own personal M62 service station.
Jeremy C is not "home" this weekend ... do you think i could persuade him to wear one on the boat ?... where is the info from that he is on the same ferry, before i make a total pratt of myself ?

How long stewart ?

 

The info that JC is on your boat came from me. When i phoned up to book my place on the 2.45 ferry i asked if there was any way at all i could get on the one your on. He had a look and said 'no way, fully booked, your extremely lucky to get on the 2.45', he then went on to metion that Mrs Clarkson and Mr Clarkson were booked on that ferry with the Lotus Owners club, of which Mrs Clarkson is president. So the ferry booking guy told me that, who knows if he'll be bothered to go, but im guessing Mrs will deff be going.

 

36 days 18 hours 24 mins till the start of the race. 4 weeks tomorow until we set off. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Ok, just stumbled onto this thread and you are all making me extremly jealous!

Unfortunatly my "ride" to lemans this year has pulled out and it looks like im not going to be able to attend! Got my finals exam on the 15th too at 9am which does not help!

Ah well, i hope all you guys have a sweet time down there and you better all take lots of pictures and stuff to make me feel even worse for missing out!

If you see someone with a huge camera bag hitch hiking around the dover area on the 15th at around midday pick me up! lol

Chris

 

Lol, hope you get down there , it will be awesome!

 

I know how awesome it will be! Spent the entire race last year enjoying every second of it! I still have a few avenues to explore which may get me there, not looking too bright tho!
