LM24 Le Mans 2014 - Who is Attending? - Page 20

You have only been to LM when you can say you have been to the 10/10 meeting. It is a must do, whatever your wife will think of us. And to be honest, she will think we are a little nuts and weird looking extremely nice boys and indeed also girls.

GT6 · 27 Feb 2014, 19:32 (Ref:3372887)

The official invite/instructions for the meet this year will b e posted later, but it is usually in the village at 12.00 on saturday morning and if you look at either ayse's le mans web site stories for the last 10 or so years or even the 2013 meeting thread you will see pictures of the ever growing numbers that turn up each year and see that everyone even the ladies are smiling

vincegail · 27 Feb 2014, 19:34 (Ref:3372888)

Talk about peer pressure here!

Elaviel · 27 Feb 2014, 19:56 (Ref:3372895)

They aren't a bad lot! I am certain they will welcome your wife, they have even welcomed the worst, yet my Dad always gets invited

I'm really not sure if I will make it this year guys

It is a real very friendly moment

No such thing!
Either you make it - or you make it!

ATLFalconsFAN · 27 Feb 2014, 21:36 (Ref:3372927)

You guys are all so great. Unless there is an unforeseen circumstance I will plan to be at the meet up and will have my lovely wife in tow.

I have found that sports car endurance racing fans are an interesting, friendly group of people. I became hugely enamored with the ALMS, and managed to make it to almost every circuit on the calendar. On many occasions I met up with strangers who I only knew from the internet from our shared love of racing. Of the dozens of people I have met there are only a couple that were less than awesome. What's also fun is seeing that different circuits have different types of people who show up, a different vibe, a different menu of food and beverage, and a different view of the racing, each one is unique.

So...looking forward to seeing you all in the vendor area on the 14th of June!

Now to think of what to bring...

Excellent - that's the spirit! (and there will probably be plenty of that too!

).

And Helen - you know you have to be there.......

Oh, and by the way, I leave for France in 100 days......

I will try, just got alot on my plate

GT6 · 28 Feb 2014, 07:27 (Ref:3373038)

Yep this year,s plans are still looking incomplete, we have yet to book the tunnel, we currently have one ancient LDV pilot van going down early tuesday with at present 3 people, then later tuesday two cars and 3 more, others arriving thursday and perhaps two more on Friday by train. I think we still have room on the tuesday run down if anyone fancies a lift, back Sunday/monday

BudLightJaguar · 28 Feb 2014, 14:07 (Ref:3373186)

I know that the plans are incomplete, but just being curious...how do I recognise the 10tenths group? Have you got a tent and a sign board or what?

GT6 · 28 Feb 2014, 14:29 (Ref:3373192)

A few years ago we used to have a A4 sized picture of a pin which was pinned to the tree under which we meet, unfortunately the ACO chopped the tree down.
Closer to the time details of the meet will be posted, and the photo's of previous years will help.
Also there will hopefully be things organised on friday so you may well meet some of us then.

Hold it hold it hold it! I represent that remark!

There are some of us who want to go to the meeting, but are kind of, well, occupied. There's no way we can make it there and back to the poste in time for the start! Never mind that we'd better not be imbibing...
keke

GT6 · 28 Feb 2014, 15:52 (Ref:3373227)

Could you not get a poste closer to the meet? or do you not get a choice of where they place you

isynge · 28 Feb 2014, 16:32 (Ref:3373245)

I've occasionally floated the idea that we do a Google hangout or similar from the meet, allowing those in more far flung locations, be they around the track or around the world, to get a little bit of a flavour of the event.

With roaming charges now considerably less onerous doing this for at least a little bit of the meet shouldn't be insurmountable.

vincegail · 28 Feb 2014, 16:34 (Ref:3373248)

Internet coverage is supposed to be very bad at the circuit, because of thousands of people using their phone at the same moment so that won't work too well.

We'll put up some photos of the best looking members who will be there.

Oh, hang on, that's all of us!

Very good! Now if you could organise a glass to go with that plate I would have no choice but to turn up!

**Aysedasi** · 28 Feb 2014, 21:26 (Ref:3373348)

That sounds perfectly do-able Helen.......

Hmmm maybe I should start demanding more expensive things!

GT6 · 1 Mar 2014, 12:21 (Ref:3373598)

Tunnel is now booked, out on Tuesday morning back sunday evening, started to get things sorted at last, plenty of room in car if anyone wants a lift down

GT6 · 1 Mar 2014, 13:33 (Ref:3373615)

Can someone set up a who is where, sheet like last year hopefully most people are now sorted, it would be good to see where everyone will be this year
