Does that mean you'll be going in an early 911 Nick or are you taking the 'winnebago' ?

The camper belongs to Dave Cavanagh, the owner of the ex-Zasada 911 that I usualy navigate in. He has been invited to race his ST so he will be usung the camper himself, I will be slumming it this year :|

I'm thinking of taking my 11 year old boy who over the last year or so has taken a great interest in cars (mainly big fat cars such a the new Rolls Royce, Cayenne and Veryon). Is anyone else taking kids and do you think it's a good idea?

No sign of the information from Porsche yet so that we can start booking?

Just had a look at the "other" forum/place and it looks like the camping will be booked the same time/with the tickets.

I'll hopefully be speaking to Eion tonight . . . his little piece in the 'Post' (PCGB mag) was not very informative . . . but hey.

Like I said on PCGB forum . . . 99.9% certain camping is booked along with the tickets.

Reading Classic and Sports Car magazine . . . I note their 'tour' is on the same overnight ferry as us . . perhaps we could race them on the way down. (EDIT - Sorry they're actually leaving on the Thrusday evening, so won't be with us).

The ferry journey is going to be fun, like a floating car show :lol:

I imagine we might have some fun 'bench racing' in the bar ;)

I have just checked through my Classci LeMans stuff from 2004...

We booked the camping @ Maison Blanche direct with ACO, via the ticket order form ( didn't order the tickets, just the camping).

Unless I am mistaken this is what we need to do this year. I recommend we wait for Phil (early911) to confirm this before we do anything

As this is now 15 pages long, could someone who knows to hand repost what we need to book to join the DDK crossing and camping...

Thanks
