Me either but teaching is hard work and I just can't get organised enough to have a weekend off

GT6 · 30 May 2014, 07:34 (Ref:3412605)

Oh well looks like i will have a lonely trip down, waving at the others in their cars and no one to look after me in the campsite, well if anyone wants a free trip to le mans, let me know you just have to buy your ticket and food/drink

Djcomix · 30 May 2014, 10:46 (Ref:3412653)

you'll be alone during the trip ?
it's can be sad and make the trip longer.
when you arrive in la mans ?

i'll be on holidays on 12th june but i'll work in St saturnin for the brisitsh welcome on the saturday morning and free after.
you can Mp me and i'll give you my phone number
Laurent

It is not as bad as it sounds, Ian and Kevin will be in one car and Others in the old bus plus meeting more at Cheriton for the tunnel on tuesday morning. So on the gentle journey down (the 30 year old 250k bus is not capable of anything over 60mph) might be a bit of swapping around so may have a passenger some of the way. Will will be at St saturin on friday and on Wednesday hoping to meet a few people at lunch time in Le chartre sur le loire at the hotel de france

Djcomix · 30 May 2014, 11:13 (Ref:3412659)

ok !
i'll in Paris for the work on wednesday.
you'll fin good wine in la Chartre

and for the St Saturnin i'll be somewhere to help cars to park, i'll will do that until 13 o'clock. Then i'll be free to eat at the bristish welcome and gat a bottle of champagne there. I think i'll go then near de bugatti to be at the mad friday and then i'll go in Le Mans to have fun to

BudLightJaguar · 30 May 2014, 21:47 (Ref:3412929)

Oh dear, it's only 11 days before my flight to Paris. I could post instructions how do you recognize me in the village, but I won't do it until I've succesfully collected my tickets (wherever the ACO chooses to locate the will call window).

No, I'm not going to wear a tuxedo, I've already decided what to wear on Saturday, it's just a combination of certain kind of cap and certain kind of t-shirt.

skeeskirrt · 31 May 2014, 00:13 (Ref:3412958)

Seeing as we're flying in, and packing light, I'll have to pick up something French. Maybe some cider from Normandy I have heard about.

That is, if we make it (tickets not in hand yet, argh!)

Djcomix · 31 May 2014, 09:01 (Ref:3413061)

i didn't buy my tickets yet but i live in le mans so easy to have one
i'll have one with my wife who work near the bugatti she's got one free and i'll buy mine next week and get my new ACO card.

if you want something i can get you before you leave USA just ask me, i'll be a pleasure to help you.

Calvados (Apple brandy from Normandy area)??

Am thinking perhaps as we live in Clacton I could bring some rock for those with a sweet tooth!

**Aysedasi** · 31 May 2014, 16:54 (Ref:3413223)

If you bring Calvados I might have to forget that I've taken the pledge.....

Different telephone code; doesn't count!

**Aysedasi** · 31 May 2014, 17:23 (Ref:3413254)

Fair enough.

stampchez · 31 May 2014, 20:19 (Ref:3413350)

I'm looking forward to meeting everybody. I am going to try to bring some good Texas booze for ya'll.

Definitely go for the Calvados. If you like your spirits and know how to enjoy a nice whiskey or Cognac, you'll love Calvados.

You could go for a typical french cheese like a fine Epoisses, but then something like this might happen on the flight back home: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...t-9465341.html

Epoisses is a strong and smelly (very smelly) French cheese, but certainly not typical. It's impossible to carry it in a car. Taking it on a flight will drive to an emergency landing with oxygen masks on passengers nose. Believe me. But it tastes fine.

I once brought some Epoisses with us back to Holland from a holiday in the Bourgogne. I took a plastic bag and duckt taped the whole lot to the towing hook of our car so we were allways in front of the smell!
