Hi guys n Girls.

Right most of you will be driving down on the 10th june and staying in the rabbit and going over on the 11th june, myself and another Mrk1er will be driving down on the Thursday morning of the 12th and returning on the monday the 16th as we are both self emplyed family men and cant afford to take the whole week off. if anyone else would be interested in joining us that would be ok, the more the merrier as far as im concerned. the price for the ferry isnt much cheeper the cheepest ive seen so far is £56.
either pm me or just add to this post.

so far

I think I'll tag along for this too! Have always wanted to go to le mans and what better way? Just looking at the ferry price at the moment and it's pretty steady at £66 so that can wait til payday.

The innkeeper lodge site wouldn't let me book 2 single rooms for the night of the 9th so it must be getting *really* full now! It would let me book 1 single, but I'm toying with bringing a mate with me (he can't make his mind up yet!) so I got a twin instead, which was fine.

Damn.



Oh well. We'll go in your car then.


Finally found a work around for the Uni's Firewall (currently have no internet at home and firewall was blocking bookings) and have just discovered the hotel is fully booked. No Twin rooms left or the possibility of two single rooms. So either we'll go to the one in Tunbridge Wells, (17 miles away) or we'll stay at our Gran's (she's just outside Croydon, so "only" 30 miles away). Will let you know.

Also tried booking the ferry and it is indeed now up to £84 for the flex booking each way. Haven't gone through with it yet as it seems you need to know which car you're going with. I'm guessing we'll go in Sasha's again, but ought to confirm this first. Also, I'd like to stay longer than the 17th (may as well make the most of it really) but don't know if Sasha can. I suppose this is where the flex ticket comes into its own... I'll try to finalise this tonight, as otherwise there's the risk the ferry will be booked up too...

Can I welcome John Griffith to the list. John is the 20th MR2 to be added to the list of attendies. Wow 2008 is going to be HUGE......

Like Max said theres just dribs and drabs of rooms left now at the White Rabbit so alternative digs are going to have to be located. I'll have a look and see if we can get anyone else who wants to come all in the same hotel near by.

That's it, finally got round to booking things up. We're on the same sailing as you lot but the hotels fully booked
So we have booked a Travel Lodge in Ashford, we'll have dinner at the White Rabbit with you guys and then go on to the hotel after that. You can collect us up in the morning as you fly down the M20

What do we need to book at the circuit...I can't remember

Regards to everybody and look forward to seeing you all again

[AW11 Forever..!]

No need to book anything for the circuit unless you want a seat in one of the grandstands. You can simply buy your race weekend ticket down at the circuit from the main entrance. This year the price was £56 for the whole Tuesday - Sunday pass which included the pit walk on the Friday.

If you want seats use

www.justtickets.co.uk

Chinetti 14 or 15 is a great viewing spot.

[GunZ]

Carl i have a room booked at the rabbit but will need to cancel it as im not going on the same day as the other guys pm me and we can sort out changing naes on the booking if you wanted to stay at the rabbit that is.

Hi Mike - I didn't think that 2008 tickets were on sale yet? And didn't we book the white car park just outside the main gate through justtickets last year as well?

Hi Graham - sorry mate I've already booked the Travel lodge. I'm sure you'll shift it on, if you list it here.

[GunZ]

Its only a reservation booking no money paid so no problem in cancelling it.. just thought if you wanted to stay at the rabbit there will be a room available.

[AW11 Forever..!]

When the tickets for the WHITE car park ( blanche ) come available through Just Tickets you need to book one. The car park is right in front of the main grandstand. I think it would be a great idea if we could make a block booking, this way we will all be parket together

More details to follow early next year.

Theres a really good write up iof this years Le Mans in the latest edition of MR2 Only magazine, definately worth a read.

Couple of pictures of the WHITE car park where we will be staying during race weekend

[AW11 Forever..!]

Theres a great write up in MR2 ONLY mag all about the 2007 Le Mans trip. Well worth a read.
