Club Arnage

I seem to recall that last year there was a bit of an event in the village of Mulsanne - large barbecue / hog roast etc - on Mad Friday. Regretably I didn't make it but thought I'd make a real effort to get there this year if it's on again.
Did anyone go last year and, if so, what was it like?

LS, you should pm Lowdrag, I think he had something to do with it inconjuction with the Pistonheads meet.

Canada Phil and I popped down quite late in the afternoon (after St Saturnan, which took ages as the roads and detours held us up ) when the festivities were pretty much over. However we had a nice chilled out time sitting in one of the bars. Saw MG Mark there leaving as we arrived and also who I assume to be Lowdrag pulling away in the Jag.
Possibly worth a visit again but perhaps ealier this time to make more use of the facilities.

A bonus was that we got to drive the Frogeye down the Mulsanne on the way back to camp

Thanks Gents but can't find "Lowdrag" on the members list.

Its not lowdrag try lynxd67.

Oopps, sorry he's Lowdrag over on pistonheads ::)

Popped in during the morning and quite a few cars there but not much else happening, we didn't stay very long so it may have picked up later on.

This sounds like something I would like to do.
If something comes of it,count me in.
This time I want to find somewhere in whatever village and sit at a cafe roadside and watch all the people and cars go by while enjoying some good beer and some local fare.
Sounds like something to do. huh? ;D

what is the museum that Termi organised for a friday a few years back, is that still on and is anyone going to it?

I would suggest Arnage as a good local village to do that, it's walkable from Blue, but better to thumb it, we got a lift from a recovery flat bed (only room for 2 in the cab, the ride on the flat bed was more exciting) and back with a french mini cab - more pissed than us, we survived!

You're on. First one there grab a table and get them in!

Thats all settled,Now what about Thurs.?

You'll also want to do Arnage on Friday ay some point. The local fare will be chicken and frites though.

Sitting, drinking and eating??? Count me in.  ;D

Mulsanne was a v. pleasant alternative (or supplementary) to St Saturnin on the Friday.  V. informal, cars came and went, people milling around and a nice cafe round the corner.  Went there mid-afternoon when it was busy, and then onto Arnage for the obligatory staek and frites and watching some early antics, before retiring to BN and parking up for the Friday night on the campsite.  After that it gets rather hazy.......

Hi Amazing,
                as already mentioned by Gary and Mark. The St Saturnin (sp) event is well worth it for display of mostly old cars in a somewhat organized fashion. I guess my impression of the Mulsanne village outing was that of a pleasant drive from St Saturnin and parking in the street and walking to find the pub. If it were not for the company hardly worth doing. Mulsanne village is pleasant enough at other times.
If you have not done the Parade in the city centre I would recommened it. Also a good place to sit in a cafe and people watch. 
See you in June

Amen to that.  Those are three of my four favorite things.

The top three, actually.  ;D

Plenty of the above to be done in Arnage ;D

Anyone interested in the drivers parade?
Did it in 06,had a great time. ;D

Randy, the celebrated Marque for St Saturnin this year is Corvette and Binks is the guest of honour!!!  :)

Has anybody heard from Lynx as to whether or not Mulsanne is on again this year?  I've had a look at their website and there's no mention as yet.

Personally I'll be at St Sat in the morning then probably sitting outside the bar at St Jean D'Asse for most of the afternoon.....

Hi Termie,
              Where is this BAR of which you speak ?
Canada Phil

|On the D338 (ex N 138) about 10k North of St Sat.  Just a little chillout spot roadside to watch the new arrivals turn up.  Sadly, it's not as good as it was before the motorway opened.

Deb,

there is some chatter over on the Le Mans forum on Pistonheads website.

Looks as if Mulsanne is on then thanks, Jules.   If Paul wants to take the Red Car there then we may go but we still don't know when he'll be turning up. ::)

I'll probably be there, was fun last year.
