Final details - please see inside!

[docwra]

We are now 1 month away from the start of the race boys. :eek: :eek:

Its time to start getting shit sorted. Ive attached the spreadsheet showing whats happening, Id like everyone to have a look as I cant ever be 100% its right.

Its been confirmed that both extra entrance tickets and camping tickets cannot be returned to the booking company, this wont be such a problem for entrance ones as we can probably flog them down there, but camping might be an issue.

I believe we have two camping pitches confirmed as spare (Moby Dick and FIGJAM) but I know a few others have been muttering about not being able to make it as well. One too many may not be a big issue as it would only be another £4 each or something and gives us more space but I dont really want any more than that.

The lads who are going in the Winnebago - I had two pitches down for you guys from when you were originally going to take two cars ......... are you cool with this? :confused:

So, assuming everything on the spreadsheet is right, we have at least one and possibly two camping passes to flog on. Step to it! :D

[docwra]

I can also confirm that the SXOC van will be in attendance. :D

[Evilchap]

The spare spaces - do I need to bother the people with the spaces, or your good self Mr. Docwra?

[docwra]

Bother me and then Ill decide who I like best ;) :D

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

I can also confirm that the SXOC van will be in attendance. :D

What day/time is the SXOC van arriving?

[Purplepower]

Hi mate,
I haven't been on here in a while so apologies for the sporadic replies!

I have just booked my tickets for the Eurostar coming over with James & Ben.

Have spoken to Ben to arrange transport of my stuff as there's not much room on the Ducati lol..

I'm not too sure yet whether I need just a ticket, or a ticket & camping slot. Can you PM me the prices for each and I'll let you know? :)

I'm sure James would rather share a tent with me you Ginger schlag :p

[JulesS14200]

:(

[docwra]

What day/time is the SXOC van arriving?

Wednesday at about 1600ish hopefully, possibgly in convoy with me and the lad :thumbs:

Jay, its £65 for the track and £99 for the camping but I dont think you need camping for a motorbike, I might check :)

[Madda]

Doc, this wont be a big box like last year; promise! :smash: But....

....can I send 2 spare 14" wheels to the van address so I can do burnout ally properly :D ?? They wont need to come back, I'll kill them, then leave them there :thumbs:

[docwra]

ROFL :D

Yeah, we can probably sort that out, I dont know where the van will be but will let you know when I find out :thumbs:

[JC]

I can also confirm that the SXOC van will be in attendance. :D
Thank fook for that,had visions of having to load up my little pug! :sxoc:

Ok mate, let me know then. I'm in a tent with James C & Jules so would be able to slot the bike in anywhere really..

[Stidi]

Doc, I thought Giblets was in the fagwagon with the rest of us?
we don't *need* 2 spaces, but it gives us a bit of room for the awning etc, so we've technically got 3/4 we could sell if it'd be easier to sell them to a group?
2 spares we know about, 1 from giblets (if he's in with us) and 1 spare from the RV if we needed to sell all 4 to get the space :)

[docwra]

And Evilchap enters the arena :D

New spreadsheet posted on OP, Giblets in the van of obvious homosexuality with two pitches, Evilchap replaces FIGJAM so we still have one spare camping pitch atm. :)

Jay - you WILL need a camping pitch pass ......... unless your bike accidentally falls into the back of a van or camper to come on site and the froggies dont notice ;)

Oh, and I have the tickets. :D :D :D :D

[Stidi]

ducati paddock pike? awesometown :D

[Matt_S]

Can one of is not go meet Jay with a pass from someone else?

[JC]

Once the van is emptied I could nip out,meet Jay & hide the bike in the back :)

[docwra]

Can one of is not go meet Jay with a pass from someone else?

They scan them so you cant use them twice, remember? Otherwise everyone would be doing it :D

[Matt_S]

I dont remember that tbh mate.

[warner]

As ever Mr. Docwra, you have surpassed yourself and i thank you:notworthy
I'll see ya before but i cant wait, ANY CHANCE?!:D

[Dan@DB-Power]

Chances are I am taking the 540i again, so will have 2 spare seats if anyone wants to jump in and contribute towards fuel :)

[DanS14]

Hmm may be up for le mans after all... A lift in your BMW or the Algie fun bus would be cool. Will be sad not to take the Nissan for the first time in (8 I think) years.

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

Where is the van?
When is it being loaded?
Do you need a hand?

[docwra]

Where is the van?
When is it being loaded?
Do you need a hand?

Good questions all :D

The van at the moment is somewhere between Channie and Cornwall, and should already be loaded. We need to figuire out how to get it to JC but over and above that it shouldnt be a problem :)

[Channie]

Yep the van is all loaded ready for this years events :thumbs:

Depending on what you guys still need you might consider...

1) More slush puppy flavouring
2) More smoke machine fluid

:D

[JC]

Doc,if the van is going to your place then I could drive over & leave my car out the back,if that's ok with you?

Dan,if you don't go with DB Dan or in the van of manlove then you could come with me in the sxoc van :thumbs:

[JulesS14200]

Can we get some gym stuff in the van?

I'm determined not to set myself back months in the gym through, no food, no sleep, no exercise and lots of booze.

[JC]

Just bring your bike mate,I'm taking mine :thumbs:

[Deacon]

The van is currently with cornwall.

[docwra]

DanS14 enters the arena :D

We will figure something out with the van, dont worry. :thumbs:

[Algie]

Awesome,

As the lads have said we thought two pitches was more suitable for the motorhome as it's a bit of a beast, a few of us are looking at taking (mountain) bikes too :nod:

[zeppelin101]

I'm definitely not going btw.

[DanS14]

Is there a list somewhere of who is going down on which day?

[Algie]

I'm on the Chunnel on Thursday 9th at 8:20am with the lads in the motorhome :nod::thumbs:

[Matt_S]

Jules, there plenty of stuff to lift there!

Crates of beer must weigh 10Kg?

[docwra]

I'm definitely not going btw.

Ummm, might have been a good idea to mention this a bit earlier man :wack:

Have you paid? Is there anyone you know who might take your ticket? :confused:

Dan, me and Lad and possibly JC will be going down Weds but will be in Campervan, good for avoiding speeding tickets though :D

[zeppelin101]

I sent you a PM weeks ago saying I wasn't going!

And posted in the other thread saying so as well!

I've tried to flog my stuff on but nobody I know is interested.

[JulesS14200]

Jules, there plenty of stuff to lift there!

I piss 10kgs.

Though those massive petrol cans must weigh quite a bit :nod:

Dont really wanna take a bike as its dangerous riding round there, plus Im only just learning to ride again. I even dreamt about it last night, I was very wobbly :wack:

I can always do some push ups and petrol can carrying. I just dont wanna do nothing for 5 days and waste away what little muscle i have, like I keep doing everytime I go away :wack:

Its a good idea in theory, reality may mean I cant be arsed. I really need to limit cider intake this year too :eek:

[Stidi]

30 bottles a day is a limit. not a great one, but it's definately a limit :D

[JulesS14200]

5 cans of cider a day max I reckon :nod:

[Madda]

5 cans of cider a day max I reckon :nod:

I just choked on my tea, lol! Le Mans wont be the same if you do manage to stick to that. :wack:

[Matt_S]

You can give me piggy back all weekend. How's that? I weigh more then a can of petrol :wack:

[Deacon]

Lets give him a challange. piggybacks for me!!

[JulesS14200]

Lets give him a challange. piggybacks for me!!



It would be like squatting a baby cow :D

I will be drinking, just a few ciders plus a some vodka! This is gonna be a healthy version of Le Mans :D

I need to eat better than the two burgers a day like previous years :nod:

[Algie]

You have to be kidding, there is just no way I can imagine you being in a non drunk state and not comatose in your tent! :hurl:

[warner]

No JLOC:cry:

[dow]

What day and times are people meeting up anyway? This is my first time so was thinking of joining a convoy if there is one, wondering about ordering some ferry or tunnel tickets?

[Stidi]

should've ordered them a while back mate, they'll be a bit more expensive now :(
You're looking at about £45 each way on the tunnel leaving early thursday and coming back late monday. (which is what I *think* we're doing in the motorhome of jizzface, sorry, justice.)

[dow]

Money isn't too much of a worry at the moment, cleared all my credit cards... If I can't get my car fixed I'll be buying a Mazda hair-dresser thingy to make this trip :)

[Madda]

Sweet, you getting Evilchaps?

I am getting the ferry on Thursday morning from Portsmouth to Le Harve in my hairdresser thingy. The miles driving saved balances out the additional cost of the ferry :thumbs:

[clai 'two steaks' cerrig]

Quick question as a Lemans newbe

Are camping gas stoves allowed ? Reason for asking is that saome friends that went to the MotoGp had there gas canisters conviscated on arrival , so it would be a pain to transport the geasr all the way there on the bikes to have it conviscated and not used

Other than that all i have left to do is fit the vinal wrap paint protection sheets and am trying to make up my mind if i should fit the fly screen or do without

We planning on leaving wednesday morning round 10ish so keep looking for a bright yellow speed triple with a plate ending in FLY

Stay safe and see you there :)

They were last year fella - although it wouldn't surprise me if they had banned them since they seem to be the ammunition of choice in the last night's annual bin fire :smash:

We'll be there mid afternoon Thursday :thumbs:

[Stiggy]

Hey guys, I'm not actually joining the sxoc at lemans but I will be there in s14a
http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o74/UkStiggy/car%20pics/photo3-2.jpg
Staying at beausejour. There is also a mkiv supra in our party. I have a spare campsite pitch for anyone that is needing somewhere to crash prob do it for £20 so if anyone wants it pm me an I'll give ya a contact number to meet at gate for pass. Will be leaving newhaven Tomoz.

Friendly word of warning though as I have been talking to a frequent euro traveller and he says the french old bill have been waiting in large numbers just out of ferry terminals and Chunnel... U need to display GB stickers... If not €100 fine.. Once u have been pulled over put hivis on before u get out of car... If not € 100 fine also fir those travelling in the dark... U need the headlight deflectors or,, yep u guessed another ton fine.

Ok so it's pretty much common sense but I myself and many others place hv jackets in back window.

Anyway gis a toot or flash if ya see us about.... Prob frequenting macdonald some mornings for coffee and use of wifi.

Have fun peeps n stay safe
Stig

[arry]

Need beam deflectors ALL times of the day, not just if travelling at night :)
