Re: Le Mans Classic
That’s cool- we are going over to Hotel du France at Chatre sur Loir Friday lunch ( always fun) - Mulsanne parking is on the way!

Re: Le Mans Classic
I might head down to the second chicane on Mulsanne Straight on the Thursday evening around 7:30 to reminisce about the old times when friends would meet up and 40-odd old Porsches in bright colours would park in a curve and delight at how f.ucking wonderful they all looked!Darren65 wrote:That's what I meant......although on Thursday evening due to the roads being closed Friday?sladey wrote:We’ve traditionally met at the second chicane on the Mullane straight on the Friday morning before they close the road - is that not possible any more?
Good times

Re: Le Mans Classic
Thank's all for the encouragement on my longest journey to date really looking forward to it, European breakdown cover sorted with Hagerty.
Apparently they say they will recover the car back to my home in the uk if i have a problem, bonus!
Speedo working correctly so hopefully no speeding tickets and great pictures Burma-shave of your car fully loaded to the max.
I will try to make it to Mulsanne for the meet up.

Re: Le Mans Classic
Andy - If you're running a 6 volt system still take a spare 6 volt coil and condensers. Hopefully you won't need them but harder bits to come by if needs be.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
