Any of you chaps off to Le Mans this year?

Just been prepping the 5 this aft for the trip down there.... Early boat from Poole to Cherbourg then a blast down there Wednesday AM.

Should be a good one this year, hopefully the dirty Germans won't walk it again in the 4 Audi's that they're bringing! ;)

Last time I went in the 5 a couple of years ago I had a bit of a run in with the local Gendarme, dusting off some local boy racer types. He practically crashed into me pulling me over on his cop bike and I could have sworn he was gonna lamp me, he was SO angry!!! He had to go off and have a word with himself to calm down as his mate took over, then came back and gave me a lot of verbals in French foaming at the mouth! Think I was lucky to keep my keys....!

:D

Run from Cherbourg to Le Mans is a lot of fun. Go cross country and give yourself some time to enjoy the awesome flowing roads and sleepy villages en route. Epic. :agree:

Just programmed Mr TomTom to take me a nice route, looking forward to it if the rain holds off! Looks like a nice route TK, sound.

Will be staying in Maison Blanche :D

Not looking forward to the 5am alarm call in the morning though :cry::cry::cry:
