LM24 The Le Mans 2011 Ten-Tenths meeting thread

**PascaLM** · 25 Mar 2011, 21:23 (Ref:2853250)

Once again, Ayse discretly told me that it's time to create the traditional thread about our saturday meeting. I assume that many of you will come, and we will all be very pleased to meet the first-timers.
I remind you that you are all invited, you can come freely ; the drinks, biscuits, fruits are usually offered by the locals.

Where : in the village, near the big tree : here, Google Earth :47°57'15.93"N, 0°12'33.13"E

When : I suggest from 12h00.

**Aysedasi** · 25 Mar 2011, 22:15 (Ref:2853262)

That's the spirit - we know we're getting close when we start discussing the meeting!

GT6 · 26 Mar 2011, 08:20 (Ref:2853386)

I will be there 12.00 on the dot

Justin Moran · 26 Mar 2011, 08:30 (Ref:2853392)

I'll raise a glass of something to you all, sadly I will be at home watching the race this year

But I will be back!
Have a super time guys (n gals) and I'll see some of you at Silverstone!

**Aysedasi** · 26 Mar 2011, 08:31 (Ref:2853394)

What I'll do (eventually) is add into Pascal's starting post a table showing who is going to be there. I don't know what the largest number we've ever had is, but it would be good to set a new record this year!

rdjones · 26 Mar 2011, 08:36 (Ref:2853398)

I'll also raise a glass to you all aswell, as I will be watching from home again this year.

However I have started working on the new Mrs Jones, of 3 weeks, on letting me out to play in 2012.

Guess I will see you all at Silverstone in September, all being well I will be there for all 3 days...!!!!!

Down F0rce · 26 Mar 2011, 09:03 (Ref:2853409)

I'll be there, third year in a row!

'working on' ??????

Sorry Rob you haven't quite got the hang of this marriage/Le Mans relationship yet - you tell her you're going......

**Bentley03** · 26 Mar 2011, 11:12 (Ref:2853446)

For those joining us for the first time (I suspect there may be quite a few of you this year), I'll repost one of my posts from last year's meeting thread:

Turn right when you emerge the other side and you will be heading towards the new village. Keep walking until you get to the last tree before the permanent buildings and paved/concrete surface of the new village. Simples!

Needless to say, the tree can be reached by those coming from the direction of the pits. Climb the stairs that take you up into the village and keep going. The tree will be just in front of you (right of centre) as you pass the last of the permanent shops.

See you all there as usual.
Looking forward to meeting the new guys

isynge · 26 Mar 2011, 12:41 (Ref:2853481)

As ever very much hoping to be there - especially after missing last year thanks to unexpected humanitarian relief effort required by Friday night's downpour.

**Aysedasi** · 26 Mar 2011, 15:52 (Ref:2853574)

Well, the only humanitarian relief that will be needed this year will be sun screen and after-sun.......

JoshW · 27 Mar 2011, 20:52 (Ref:2854487)

Ill be there representing Australia!

MartinSmith · 27 Mar 2011, 21:42 (Ref:2854510)

I will be there ...June without Le Mans?...I DONT THINK SO!

Elaviel · 28 Mar 2011, 07:10 (Ref:2854661)

I will be there

Someones gotta drag Dad away from drinking the campsite dry to make it in time!

Might have an extra with me though, one who actually likes cars this time!!!

vyselegend · 28 Mar 2011, 12:38 (Ref:2854834)

The wrong part in that meeting schedule is that it will makes me lose one giant beef rib in Arnage...

Or maybe I'll bring it along.

(which should give me some style on the souvenir pic)

GT6 · 28 Mar 2011, 17:11 (Ref:2854977)

If you bring along a whole rib of beef we can all have some

Dani Filth · 28 Mar 2011, 17:16 (Ref:2854981)

goes well with the wine

GT6 · 28 Mar 2011, 17:21 (Ref:2854988)

Dani you should know that we usually have white wine and that does not go with red meat, will bring beer instead

Elaviel · 28 Mar 2011, 19:30 (Ref:2855047)

as long as its not that sodding rose from last year!

**Aysedasi** · 28 Mar 2011, 21:22 (Ref:2855104)

Hell, I'll drink pretty well anything - beef sounds good though!

GTfour · 28 Mar 2011, 22:04 (Ref:2855120)

For the brave amongst the group I'll bring some real dutch double salt liquorice.

GT6 · 29 Mar 2011, 08:07 (Ref:2855233)

sounds interesting

I'll see your Dutch liquorice and raise you some of Norwegian origin - we can have a salty confectionary showdown! There is also the prospect of Tyrkisk Peber if we want to get really obscure...

tonypowe · 29 Mar 2011, 11:39 (Ref:2855323)

I will be there - but not sure about salty confectionery :yuk
