Are you doing the itinery again this year? what about Chris posting it here for all to see. just had a thought about including the Shampoo Bar bash, like whos gonna be there etc... 9pm saturday. team t shirts helpful, all moose welcome!! Title: Re:Smokie's LM Itinery Post by: BigH on April 16, 2003, 08:24:42 pm T-shirts could be a problem, imagine the sartorial humiliation and state of them by Sunday, or earlier.
How about growing side-burns? That way, if you see someone with a fine pair of diggers you should be able to start a Club-Arnage orientated conversation immediately, without fear of rejection. Picadilly Weepers for Le-Mans! I say.

Yeah, I can do the document again...start mailing your plans to me Title: Re:Smokie's LM Itinery Post by: BigH on April 17, 2003, 12:22:38 am Most of the women I know have sideburns. At least they tell me they're women.

Jem Title: Re:Smokie's LM Itinery Post by: Matt Harper on April 18, 2003, 10:04:34 pm Steady on Jem, you may get pidgeon-holed as a "non serious race fan" and that can have significant consequences.
I genuinely feel that watching the race at Le Mans is optional. Although I've been attending the race for a very long time - the party has got better and the spectacle, less and less visible. I like watching sportcar racing - but I'm also quite partial to neck oil and a bit of a laugh with my oppo's. Le Mans is not the best venue to watch sportscars running in anger anymore - but it is the bollocks for sustained heavy drinking. R2D2 is being readied as I speak. Regards to all Matt Title: Re:Smokie's LM Itinery Post by: Rusty on April 20, 2003, 10:51:14 pm Is R2 motorised yet or did those plans get scotched?
If he is, goes he pull wheelies, stoppies and hand brake turns and do you plan to take him down to Indianapolis to do burnouts and donuts with the Caterham boys? Rusty Title: Re:Smokie's LM Itinery Post by: Matt Harper on April 21, 2003, 10:52:13 pm Hi Rusty
Been a bit lazy regarding motorisation of R2D2. Seriously experimented with a truly colossal cooler on a chassis with independent suspension, powered by 2 x 24v electric gear motors (to give 'tractive steering). Unfortunately, battery exhaustion has got the better of me - and once the batts are flat, the drive is locked up - kinda defeating the whole purpose. I know that the way forward is internal combustion. I've got a Briggs & Stratton petrol mower in my garage that has got 'cool box motive power' written all over it. I suspect getting this device across the Atlantic and through customs might be a bit of a trial, but that would deffo do the job. At present, it looks like it'll be both R2 and it's clone again this year and long grass through the summer. Been meaning to catch up with you at the track for a couple of years now - we shoiuld make that happen. |
