I've got all the front pictures but they are NOT for this site,I would like to think of us as a family Club ;)
You need to come to Le Mans 09 to see filth of this nature.
:shock: :mrgreen: :shock:
Well it seems as though i am all booked up, except the ferry unowho has done wonders!
Only thing is unowho, who is booking it all for me, needs to know if i'm doing the full trip or not, i'm not sure if i will be able to use loads of holiday.
Well Mr Sheavills, i told you i had a little surprise in store, & that little surprise came in the post this morning :+: ,seems like our trip to LeMans this year will be a bit more comfortable :+: :clap:

The bag is only half full so looks a little squat at the moment, but you can gets loads in & it doesnt even block the engine vents either :+: it comes with a protective mat & superbly constructed webbing straps & is fully waterproofed & even has a protective covered zip area so no water can get in via the zip !! :+: :+: certainly going to help with space on our already spacially challenged cars :lol: Jinx
Jinx,
I can't believe you bought that just to put your slippers in :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

What a wonderful design, are these what we saw in Portree on the back of that MX5.
Love it, how much?
Nah mate.... thats just for my Cider & Sausages & beans, cant get the good stuff in France !! :lol: :lol:
£65 ish & yep it was the same one we saw in Portree... are you sure it was Portree ? thought it was LeMans or even Mont St Michele ?, Jinx
Carpark, Portree, Saturday 14th September 2008 at 10.04am :+:
Might get one for Joannes cosmetics, do they do bigger ones.
I know Deb's, this one is ssoooooo going to cost me too.
i really wanna do this trip tried begging at work but nope still can't get time off so i told them i am going next year no matter what
Yup, that's when we saw it - I remember that fairly well too (though I thought it was a couple of minutes earlier?)Quote:

Got more stuff to sort out on the car to get it on the road than I thought ( :( ) and am already having to penny pinch due to other stuff that has happened over the last 6 or so months, so there's no way I can afford this trip anymore... :(
I've been trying to hold off on buying ferry & parking ticket till I knew better where I was and I think I know now. I could probably do them, but petrol would be a bit thin! :(
Think it's gonna have to wait till after Uni. Needless to say, I'm completely and utterly gutted as I was really looking forward to this. I'll have to put a post up on IMOC later too... :(
Oh - I'm still booked into the White Rabbit (is that the hotel?) so if anyone else wants to use it, I could possibly find out about changing the booking? It's a twin room. However, I'd still be up for joining you chaps for the dinner before you head off...
Max,
Thats a real shame!! never mind theres always another year :+:
You can cancel you booking at the hotel and won't be charged :+:
Aye, but I had to do the same last year. And the year before (though that year I wasn't going with the MR2 club). So it's actually beginning to grate a bit. One of these days I won't be a student anymore so will actually have some money. Unfortunately I've not done any contract work in over a year, so have no extra income coming in anymore for proper hols. :-:Quote:

BRING IT ON NINJA!!!!!
Guys you better be there or you will face a spanking from Jo :twisted: :P :twisted:
You might as well car share and split the costs, good news update:
www.LDlines.com ferries have bought out Speedferries and are now operating their usual service Dover - Boulogne, I've been on their site and a return is only £48, see the IMOC LM09 thread for all the details.
Get booked peeps :+:
Isnt this gonna split things though Mike ? like you we have booked our tickets with another operator & sail at different times, we will have to arrange a meeting point in France so we can all travel together ?, Jinx
I have been to this event for the past few years with White Rabbit Racing and with Piston Heads.
I am sorting out my trip at the moment and I will be there in my MR2 Mk1b.
8-)
Who are you going with this year, I think we bumped you last year? mica blue, was it you.
Come with us :+:
All the information you will need for this years trip can be found here on the IMOC Le Mans 2009 official thread

The car was officially written off in a crash during testing Thomas Enge was at the wheel
Noooooo :shock: :roll: , thats a gorgeous looking car, are they planning on building another to replace it Mike, seeing as your the man in the know :+: , Jinx
God yes Jinx! Paul Ricard was just a test to make sure everything was functioning, I'm sure they have a few chassis knocked up waiting to be pranged again!
Ive enroled Jason Jesse ( mk1 race series driver & girlfriend ) to come along to LeMans this year, his car is the beautiful MK1 done out in back & white U.S sherrifs Logo for racing, he wont be in the mk1 to Lemans for obvious reasons, but they are both really excited about coming along & know they will just love the banter & socialising we all have & they are a great couple !! :+: , ive sent them the links to both sites & the link to LeMans 2008 so they can see what its all about, pretty sure they will be staying at the White rabbit too & travelling with those of us who have the early ferry booked. Jinxy
Yep, just to re-iterate Jason and Cheryl are up for Le Mans :clap: :clap: , they are taking over Steve Kingsnorth's place, so now acting as their PR :crazy:
Mike is Steve's White car park ticket still available?
Debs
Yea, if they can Paypal me £37.50 the ticket is theirs. My paypal address is:

2. Dan Morgan
3. Michael Sheavills
4. Mark Jones

Mike will let you know asap about Jason's Car Park Ticket, will get Jinx to confirm with him.
Regarding Monday's Drop off - Can't really leave stuff at Jinx's as not sure what state they will be in after the Holiday :wtf: I could possible ask my mum, if it's ok to leave stuff at mine :problem: or could be left in Jinx's garage :silent:
Debs

Some useful tack info

Thanks mate

Hi Mate, Jason & Sheryl sent a cheque to Debs, it arrived yesterday, this is for Steve Kingsnorths return ferry ticket ( as he cant go now ) & a car parking ticket, but im not sure if this was for a ticket that Steve has already bought from you OR for the last remaining ticket in question :think: , i will ask Debs today & she can post up an answer mate, but Yes we definately have Jason & sheryl aboard... litterally :mrgreen: & they will be staying at the "Shagging rabbit" for the Party too :+: , they said they dont think they can make Bruges......... but im working on them for that one too :+: :+: :lol: , Jinxy
