You lucky lucky lucky bas...... seriously though, have a good time mate

The main drag from Calais to Paris now has a camera in the Paris-calais Direction, Havent travelled the other way so not sure about that direction.
Its forward facing so make sure you smile

I have been told they will be waiting at the toll both, not sure if this is true or not but I guess it will be working hard for Le Mans weekend

It has one in the other direction too

Just hoping its true that french speed camera tickets cant follow us home

There was also a nsty radar trap that 6 of us sailed through at 110 mph. Police were waiting at the next tool - but pulled the BMW 645 that shot past us as about 150 instead

Had a great time at LM05 and saw another black Fabia and a silver one too. One of them had a reg plate ending in FAB. Like it.

Mine was black, all stickered up with Tyresmoke.net stickers and had mine and my co-drivers names stickered in the back windows. Anyone spot it?

Was delighted with the Fabia, didnt miss a beat and did the whole 1700 miles from Glasgow and back at 42 mpg. Only saw 130 on the clock flat out though - the 35 degree heat was really taking a toll on the performance

WrightyRS · 24-06-2005, 03:13

Had a great time,saw 2 Black Fabia vRS's but no Octy's.

the first one was on Sunday on the N138 Le Mans to Rouen road,reg NL54
the second was at the Tunnel on Monday lunchtime on the 13:32 tunnel reg **05,

can't wait for next year now,although 2 trips will be in order next year as the Classic Le Mans event takes place at the end of July.

Speedie · 19-04-2006, 10:23

me to, I've just sorted out crossings etc, I'm do the 24hrs this year instead of the British GP

WrightyRS · 19-04-2006, 16:12

I'm going this year again,leaving on the Thursday morning with 5 other cars.

also going to the Classic Le Mans 3 weeks later.

Carsten · 19-04-2006, 17:03

Unfortunetally there is the 24h Race at the "Ring" too...

So I guess, I´ll be sitting drunk in the muddy woods somewhere
in the Karrussel-to-Pflanzgarten-area...

Watching my beloved participants, the Lambo and the Heico-Volvo flying by

So, in around 56 days , 5 hours , 56 minutes and 45 seconds

I'll be going in a silver fabis VRs, - if it's delivered in time, a morgan plus 4 if it's not, and we're camping in Houx Annexe. Fabia this year, maybe the morgan next year - it's in pieces in my dads garage at the moment.

Apparently last year on the Sunday night there was a bmw 3 series going round HA with the sunroof open, and a box of fireworks on the passenger seat.

nitrosman · 19-05-2006, 20:53
