As usual I'll add some new fun stuff...
... such as Hostess bars adresses !  ;)

A hostess Bar in Le Mans!!!!!!!!!. If the address is posted on here, you should be on commission of them Gilles. I can see a new heading for the Hostess Bar stories appearing on the forum.

Someone else on this forum already know the adress but it was closed on monday evening when he decided to go...
... guess who ??

It did a roaring trade on the Friday!! When we went there was only a bloke hostess left to amuse about twenty drunken Brits. He did a passable impression of a bird, but his big hands and adams apple gave the game away.

Where did you go ?

I know there's a gay club and some gay bars in Le Mans but I never give the adress to anyone... Please can you share your Le Mans experience ?

Monday night eh Gilles?

I wonder who that might have been then....

Andy, Come along now. Where were you. Hostess bar you say.



On the same subject, one of our main roads runs through Newcastles pink triangle and one of the pubs used to have  a sign on the side that said 'All Wednesday night.  The Bladder Burst, Only £6' Sounds frightning.

Stu

You really were unlucky because it's probably the smartest in the city.

Obviously you if you were really unlucky Smokie. Were you full member status then?.

An establishment, I regret to say, called the Relax Bar. I can assure you it is anything but relaxing. If you have half an ounce of intuition, your hackles rise on the back of your neck as soon as you walk in. But nothing else rises tho.

WTF is a bladder burster? It sounds awful!

Would you prefer a swinger club ?

It was a drink as much as you like for £6. Not sure what sort of drink though. Probably  hot fish yoghurt judging by the bar it was in.

I was only visiting on behalf of a friend, honest and he was paying for whatever happened, which was nothing as the place was shut...

Because I'm honest and not perfidious (I'm French not English  :P... ), I was the witness (and the master of ceremony and their cab driver) of this evening.

All that Smokie said is true, he wasn't the most motivated to go...

... and I'm not THIS friend as I declined their invitation (my left hand costs me a few less money  :P )

perfidious - good word.  I had to look up what it meant.  Your english is becoming to good, Gilles.  You will need to dumb it down a bit for the average Brit to understand you. ;D

Stu , can you add a tyre fitting place thats open all weekend ,or at least saturday .

Just bought a new car with a space saver and with my luck i will get a puncture and be forced with 50 mph all the way home .

Many thanks

I will do it in the day.

I gonna send the adress to Stu and asap he'll add it to the guide

Is there not a tyre place next to Carrefour?.

Tyre place by the Carrefour ,Suggest you ask Brian he has fond memories a firm but expensive pair

yes it is !!!

It's a Norauto centre probably open until 7 pm on saturday, also a Midas centre, quite smaller but probably as convenient...

When you come from the circuit coming from the Route de Tours, yo pass front the carrefour, continue 25m and Norauto is on your right. Midas is on the other way and you access to it coming from the city centre to the Carrefour.

Sorry Stu, really not have time these days for drawing a "tyre map".

I also need to add a new LPG station 4 kms from the circuit and easily accessible.

That would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Yep kerbed front nearside tyre at Portsmouth damaging side wall, as it was 2030hrs, we limped down to Le Mans. On visiting said tyre outlet it must be noted that if they do not have your tyre tread in stock, they will only supply and fit a pair. They had no Goodyears like the ones on my car, so had to purchase a pair of Michelin's. I do not know how you would go on by just taking the wheel in to them, maybe Gilles could answer that one.
So the old wallet was lightened by approx £240, and to add
more pain when asked what pressure to inflate at, me soft arse held up 4 fingers as you do for 40 psi, this was interpreted as 40 bar. The car handled like a bitch all the way home, thought I would check the pressures to find both fronts had been inflated to over 90 psi.
So hope this info helps to overcome some of the pit falls.
Brian.

It's quite normal to change the pair of tyres. For your own security, you need to have the both same tyre on your axle.

Concerning inflating pressure, it's a professionnal fault... of the employee. he needed to check on the notice book or more generally the sticker located on the side on the door to read the pressure !

Was it Norauto? (a blue and yellow logo) It may be quite possible of such an incompetence.

I'm sorry but I didn't have an inflating station in my own garage, only a manual pump but without manometre !!!

And what do you drive , A TRUCK ?

They didn't have remoulds then ;D
