[LM24] The Le Mans 2012 Ten-Tenths meeting thread

[Justin Moran]

Wow, just saw the 2010 photo! Never knew the tree had gone as I hadnt looked at this thread last year, too painful at my not being able to come, still wont be there this year, just having to face up and read these threads again! Remember the demonstration going on was the electric porsche and such so well able to chat and be heard! Happy days and I WILL be back one day.

Sorry just to mention I was under the username C9/89 back then.

The electric cars were before the meeting. We were standing at the fence to see Johnny Herbert drive the Mazda 787B, I seem to remember.

You are correct. I also seem to recall a bit of jovial booing as the electric cars wooshed by followed by cheering as the 787 screamed by.

I think the whoosh was the effect of Dani's rocket fuel, wasn't it......?

As everyone took a deep breath after having a sip? Yea you may be right.

[Suze]

I'll be at Le Mans this year, and will try to meet up if I can, but I suspect I may not make it. We will see!

and you can
by chance, you posted this on 1st april

[bernard b]

didn't confirm yet, but as I haven't miss any meeting from the beginning, I obviously be there this year too, probably with some kind of "Iced Tea" like last year

I hope I'm correct in saying that our first official get-together was in 2003.

Here we see Mr Meeting himself, Pascal, along with Bernard, Dominique and Fab (back to camera). Former member Liz is also there - and am I right in thinking that's Javi and his Dad? I can't remember the name of the fellow on the right, although it's on the tip of my tongue!

Yessss, it´s me and my dad Ricardo... It´s 6 years since my last visit to Le Mans Time flies, isn´t it?... Anyhow I can say you that, among the things I miss from staying in Spain and try to watch it on TV is knowing that, come Saturday 12h, the Ten-Tenthers will be sharing nice wine!! Hope you still remember the spanish wine we used to bring!!!

Thanks for sharing the picture, Ayse, altough it makes me a little melancholic by now...

Have a wonderful time this year again!

[Aysedasi]

Lovely to hear from you Javi - yes, we remember the wine!

[Mike007]

Hope to meet you guys again after seeing you last year!

[GT6]

We need to make sure everyone makes it this year especially those that get the chance to visit the toyota pit, this is the chance for everyone to meet in person and it is only once a year

[vincegail]

I'd like to, but I have to see how things go! I am with 5 others, and we have a habit of going to Mulsanne for the late morning on saturday, watching the support races and the first part of the main race. So being in the village is a little difficult.
But as I am the travel guide of the group (sort of), maybe I can arrange something!

[Aysedasi]

You need to try - this is the one essential meeting of the weekend!

[GT6]

With all the work James has done with the pit visit it would be great if we get a record number at the meeting this year

Same goes for me, I think I'll have to make sure the guys from my group come with me to the meeting.

[nobster]

Bring your friends along, last year there were a few non tenthers at the meeting as well.

Hopefully they are ten-tenthers now

I brought along a couple and at least one of them is now seen on here occasionally

I'll be there for sure, trying to bring a few from our party.

[PascaLM]

OK, for the moment, if I add the members and the future ten-tenthers, we have around 30 people.
Toward a new record ?

[isynge]

Having been remiss the last couple of years, a Carrefour run ending up straying into meeting time, I'm going to make a concerted effort this time round - so maybe 31 could be on the cards?

I believe your last one was the same as mine, with the briljant Rebellion racing team pit visit in 2009. I remember your remark about your not so handy(your own words ) choice of nickname. Being it slightly criptic to pronounce.

Anyhow, really lookin' forwards to see all of you again and to speak the language.

[Aysedasi]

I think we could well have a record attendance this year.......

[CTD]

Hey i'm coming, of course it will be a record (NOT thinking too much of myself )
