MR2 TRIP TO LE MANS 10th JUNE 2008 - AMAZING TRIP!!!!

[t-bar89]

Jinxy,

I was referring to the trip taking place after the le mans week has finished.


Max,

That's a bummer! we'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

Michael,

I'll have a look tonight at some ideas and post up before the weekend... can't do it now as Reema is dragging me out food shopping!

I will be able to help organise the add on trip if I'm needed. I was waiting for others to put their names forward first as my work makes things awkward but I'm sure I'll be able to help.

Hi All,

I am very dissapointed that I cant be joining you all for this trip, I had a supurb time last year meeting you all, and watching the race.

I guess I will just have to suffer over here in Oz and watch it on Fox (sky equivalent)

Just a bit more of a taster for you all

Aston Martin at the Porsche Curves


Corvette - Nicest sounding engine there IMO

Well have fun all, I shall just have to wait for the pictures and stories

Kind Regards

Paul,

Great to hear from you mate, those pictures are stunning, I remember you had a very nice camera! Don't forget to invite us over for the Bathurst 1000 as discussed on campus last year. I'm delighted Pete is buying your car, thats one hell of a stunning MK2, really nice and I'm sure its in great hands with Pete and Reema.

Take care and enjoy the OZ life, lucky bu88er!!!

Just got our tickets for the red car park and for the pits covered stand.

Stick me and Bev down for the after show party...

What dates do I need to book for the camping?

Carl

Hi Carl /Bev, great to hear from you, are you staying at the white rabbit with us lot ? camping is from the 10th - 17th then those that are extending the trip will be in guest houses/hotels etc. Mike i think we ought to have an after show party for those who are going home on the 17th too see you there, Jinxy

You too m8 - we'll be meeting you for dinner at the White rabbit but we had to book somewhere down the road as the WR was full - some poncey car club meeting I think they said Bunch of 'saddo's' sitting round a pint of mild talking about dust caps and tread patterns no doubt...

[AW11 Forever..!]

You know us too well Carl

[AW11 Forever..!]

Pete,

Thanks for looking after the interests of the after show party

Feck feck feck feck...
Can't make the whole trip. I really wanna say things about my supervisor right now, but I reckon the swear filter will get them...

I'm trying to work out if I can get away with just joining you guys for the weekend (to see the race) but it would mean shooting straight back and could be tight with the work... Argh...
Will also have to work out funds as well as doing that could be expensive for just a trip of four days... (just picked up a new project... )

Skye may be in trouble too... thoroughly hacked off at present.

[t-bar89]

Ok well before I can organise anything... I'm going to need some ideas from everyone for the aftershow trip.

Once I have a few ideas down I can look into which ones are going to be possible or practical and then go from there.

Your ideas can be as detailed or as vague as you wish. For example an idea of mine that is inspired from paul and chris from last year is to go to the nurbergring... Reema's idea is to visit "somewhere" in Germany.

So here's me to start off... add to the list and in a couple of weeks I'll get started.

1. The Nurbergring in Germany with people having a few laps if they wish.
2. Re-visit the 2 litre jugs of beer in belgium.
3. Somewhere in Germany.

[monkeymax]

South Germany is pretty good around that time of year - all the North Germans head there for their Summer holidays...

Max... Thats rubbish news mate. Maybe things will change? If not then there will always be LE MANS 2009.

Look on the bright side, you'll have all that extra money to spend on the car!

Maybe you could not take your car and fly over for the weekend if you fancy just going for the race?
