Title: Maison Blanche Prison
Post by: MrRS2babe on November 10, 2003, 10:20:11 am
Living so near it would be rude not to visit when such an event as the 1000km is running.
So I went on Saturday evening and stayed at a deathly quiet Arnage - saw one other British reg car!!!
Went for a drive to the circuit on Saturday night to see what was what. It was cold and misty. The crossroads by the Porsche curves are now an island - big deal, but probably a good idea for June.
But then, driving along the famous "burnout" stretch of road between MB and Bleu and looked to my right for a sentimental view of MB campsite but instead of the normal bushes and field there's now a 10ft concrete fence topped by rolls of barbed wire!!
Now it was dark and it was late but that is definitely what I saw..
So beware fellow MB campers - we may well get in next year but will they let us out????

That must be the work required for our CA block booking of MB campsite. It's to keep the oiks out ;)

They did seem to be painting the wall white , which is nice for St George Cross fanatics, very civilised .
Inside the circuit its coming on nicely, with concreate on the floor instead of muddy brown urine rivers

Simon, Those that get there early will have enough time to tunnel out,remember The Great Escape, Lisa, will explain about us Scouser's, we will rob your eye balls today, tomorrow we will come back for the sockets, but beware those who arrive late, well these will have to put up with what space the Liverpool Boys, allocate them. Get your ass in gear arrive early and help with the digging.

Suits me if they lock us in as long as they let Uncle Albert out daily for supplies,

Sorry but they don't seem to increase the size of MB campsite. It looks like a preservation of land for future projects that I strictly have no idea ???

Be assured that we will arrive at least 20 minutes before race start next year to leave plenty of time......
We're actually aiming to be there on the Wed before (latest) this time fingers crossed.
We've had an interesting offer of a pool from a friend of a friend.....can you detour on the way to the circuit via ours???
Cheers
