Im excited, striking the days off my calendar every morning in work and slowly making a pile in my spare room of things to take with me :) My GF isn’t happy as im going to be away for nearly 2 weeks but she going to be doing her Exams so that will take her mind off it :laugh:

Nope!

Dx

 ;D Of course i am!! Like a big kid again,but hope the weathers better this year.We can't get 2 consecutive wet years.............can we? :-[

if it rains im blaming you now

S**t yes!

As is the rest of the Kiwi crew. I am just hoping my broken foot heals in time, because I think crutches could be a bit of a bitch when under the influence...

Get a wheelchair.  Then you can drink as much as you want and not worry about falling over.  Going to the loo might be a problem though.  ::)

Or one of these

I want one of those ;D

Oh yes, me to. 16th year running for me and I always feel like a kid with a new toy every year.  Cant wait, 10 of us for Houx Annexe Sud (but we'll be trying to blag Nord!) in a Transit Lovebus.

I have a question for anyone.  Now I'm going to appear a thicko here, but how do I get a picture on to the side of my posts?  Is it loaded within my profile somewhere?

go to profile - forum profile information and up load one :)

Thanks mate.

It's the only time of the year that I wish my life away so it arrives sooner.

I know what you mean my friend.  This years posse are starting all the usual pre-event banter e-mails and busying themselves with check sheets to make sure that everything is in place.
Bring it on.

Really excited now  ;D

Just the same as the rest of the guys,i cant wait to put faces to names and this year i have the little brother to show the ropes  ;D

Mike

Well I was until yesterday when engine in my Audi A4 expired in a BIG WAY and its my only vehicle I own and hence my Le Mans transport.

Anyone know a good trustworth source in the North West where i can get a complete replacement 1997 Audi A4 19.TDi 110 HP quattro engine as mine has basically melted down.  :'(

Oh dear Chris...My car is just out of the repairers having had a power steering pump replacement - £871. I'm just about to go legal with Vauxhall. The pump was only 17 months & about 23k miles old (replaced after the deer incident). They've offered 20% of parts cost (which admittedly is the bulk of it - £550), I was expecting more like 50%. 1982 Sale of Goods blah blah...

Anyway, back on topic - my trouser front might have moved a bit when I got home last night and found my tickets on the mat.  >:D

Perhaps that was just the action of bending over to pick them up off the mat?!!  ::)

When was it last serviced Chris, My A4's rear cam chain let go at 94k although 3 weeks after a cam belt change and service, Audi paid for the lot, new head fitting, recovery, hire car the lot, they had missed a recall, worth while the extra dosh of a dealer service.

Yep, I got a list.  Can't find it!! It's the same every year so everything is last minute.

hey your more than welcome to get a lift to Lemans with me mate if it helps!

That's why he's offering. Chris will be doing the driving.

Chris, try the 'bay, it might also be cheaper to buy a complete replacement car as a donor, swap the motors, and strip / flog on the donor when all's said and done

Might be worth a look at these

Thanks Kev, much appreciated.

However I have found two people that are going with me and they are looking forward to it, so if the car isn't sorted by then, I will bite the bullet and hire a car for the trip to Le Mans.

Engine basically lost all the water and didn't tell me on the dash or warning system. The engine got super hot and melted pretty much every plastic part touching the block and thats when the oil blew out through the melted breather and gave me the oil warning lamp,the only sign i had that anything was wrong. Even the glow plugs have melted ! But it never seized. ???

Chris
there used to be a good place at Tattenhall in Cheshire, that did write off's, can't remember the name but it will come to me and I'll let you know.

Mike.

P.S untill then try Mcfalls at Newton Le Willow if they are still going.

Just a little... The Nissan needs an MOT and shakedown testing, apart from that its all systems go with Pig Pen Racing and The Brethren ;D ;D

FS,

Like the 2CV it's 'Four Sprung Duck Technique'.

Not long to go now, but the car problems seem to be catching.

Checking the car over today, opened the bonnet to find petrol leaking out the injection system, over the engine. Doh! :(

Suppose it could have been worse, if the first thing I had noticed was flames. :o

can you get one with a built -in beer dispenser?
