The 2007 Le Mans 24 Hours 10/10th get together
There just over a month to go till the big race.
I thought I better get the old 10/10th annual get together thread going again, I take it we are going to be having one this year?
Shall we say 12 'o' clock in the same place as last year?
PS:- Mods any chance you can make this a sticky?

I'll be there for sure!
we may have to adjust time, though, as the start is 3pm, and no one should miss a thing (haven't seen the timetable yet)

Don't worry I have just been looking at the timetable, I'm now thinking 11.30 might be a better time.

I think 11.30 is a good bet. I like to be glued to my seat in the grandstand for the start of the parade - even though I'm now far too elderly and infirm to worry too much about the Hawaiian Tropic girls..... (Now, if there are any blue-haired and spandex'ed Ultimate ladies, I could be persuaded to take an interest.......

This will make me get up very early !
11h30, I think it's a good compromise, isn't it ?

I think you should ensure that the exact address of the spot we are meeting at is recognised for GPS purposes - so I can bring my TomTom to find you......

Great idea... Google Earth the track, and it'll give you the coordinates as the cursor moves.

This 'll be funny. It 'll be the first time I introduce myself with my forumname in the real world. I can't wait. I hope I get round to it as the event seems to be ever shorter and shorter to me... maybe a 48hrs of lemans? Surely the Audi's would last?
