Club Arnage

Hi fella's
 I know its more than alittle early but does anyone know the dates for 2009 yet ????  ;D ;D
I have tried the ACO but to no avail  :( :(. The only reason i am asking is we have a very large group going next year, from several different countries who need to book plane tickets to get here first; before we set off for our cross europe trip including amsterdam the nurburgring and paris before a week in le mans  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Usually the 2nd weekend of June I believe.

Have a look at:
http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=8624.0 (http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=8624.0)

Without doubt the 20/21 June. The ACO fixed the setting of the dates several years back making the first weekend in June the prequal and two weeks later the race, so Weds practice will be the 17th. This was to help foreign teams since with prequal in April before they had enormous travelling expenses twice over and this system was devised to cut costs.

Travel Destinations are showing the provisional dates on their website as 13/14th June 2009.

I'm expecting those to be the dates, especially as the British Grand Prix has been confirmed for the 21st June in 2009!

No No No they will certainly clash! They are not that clever!

But my money is on the 13th and 14th. Even if it is not the 24th weekend!

So fella's is it the 13,14th or the 20,21st  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

If they don't know, no one does.

O well i will have to keep pestering the ACO, thanks for the advice will keep checking the sky's incase  ;D ;D

Confirmed dates 13 and 14th June 09

Confirmed by who / where ?

Agency for ACO. Can't say more.

You could tell us......then you'd have to kill us!

Very - James Bond  ;)

no lemans for me in 2009  :-[

Why?

Make sure is a bl@@dy good excuse!

i was going to go the the nurburgring second weekend in may then fly to lemans for the weekend but my mates im going with can only do the second weekend of june ( lemans weekend! ) plus the track is open all weekend and most of the following week so its a good time to go! I can only afford to go to either nurburgring or Leman and as my mate spoilt the nurburgring trip last year im going there :)

So trying to write-off an old Astra at the Ring or going to Le Mans, hmmm tough choice  ;)

didnt write it off last year as i went from Lemans there ;) and home

Just forget about the Ring Kev it's always there, the sacred grounds of la Sarthe only open for 1 week a year.

im trying to get them to go in may but we will see what dates the ring taxi is available, im praying that leman weekends not free so we have to go in may  ;)

Just looking at hotel availibilty in the Le Mans area in June.

The hoteliers must know something, everything is booked out for the 12th, 13th, and 14th.

Kev - get rid of your friends, they want to go to the ring instead of Le Mans?,

You have to ask yourself what type of friends are they?  ;D

Unless they are going to buy all the beers

no just the fuel and driving all the way ;)

Hmm.. Kev should have taken the Chavalier to the ring.... It has slicks ;D

I've never read such hopeless drivel in all my life. Look Kev, I've known people miss LM for all sorts of good reasons. Over the years births, deaths, marriages and fire, flood and pestilence have all gotten in the way of attending the great race. But I am utterly appalled at your pathetic excuse of "my mates want to go to the Ring". For f*ck's sake, the bloody place is open 52 weeks of the year, you can grab a couple of days off work and do it in a long weekend.

Should you not wish to reconsider your very ill-advised actions I will have no alternative than to recommend your membership of Club Arnage is terminated without further notice and you are blackballed from all further events.  >:( Get a f*cking grip.

If they want to go in the second week of June, then they're not mates

And isn't June a damp month in that part of Germany

  I'm ashamed to admit that I actually went to the pub for a drink with him once !!

Kev it does seem a lame reason not to go. I am still regreting not going this year and I would not want anyone else to suffer as i did last June.

Maybe time for new mates?

Kev

2009 Le Mans

If you’re really not going to Le Mans and are going to the ring instead, then I think I have found the perfect car for your mates to travel in.  ;)

Me too :-[

Come on Kev, it's not as though you have to slum it for the week with Mum and Dad living so close the Le Mans

GET A GRIP MAN

It would be more fun than punting a Mk3 Ashtray around the 'Ring. Neither of them are really cut out for that sort of punishment. You'll just be a wretched nuisance to other users as the Ashtray'll become a mobile chicane for the bikes and Porsches. What a way to ruin a set of discs/pads and pay for four new tyres on the car when you get back, that's if the engine survives or you don't crash and wreck it. Doesn't seem worth it really, why not wait til you've got something decent to hoof round in?

I second all of this... what a total load of rubbish.
Sure, the ring may be fun but LM must kick the Sh*t out of buggering your car on a lap of a race track...
Had you got to LM when we did this year you could have sneaked the Ashtray onto the track and done a fly past for DFH and the pit crews, as Sausage and I did on our bikes.... much more rewarding and free!
If ur mates want to go holding up traffic at the ring, let em go...
I suggest that you speak very politely to Russ and Andy Z and you may get a camp near The Brethen & Team Zarse, that way you can show your "mates" how a real Le Mans week is undertaken...... :o
I seem to remember you saying one mate was bored and didnt want to do anything at LM... he deserves interrogation by Sgt Major Chop and Lady PP. He has issues he is hiding and could be a danger to society >:(

May I add that this is not a personal attack, just a gentle reminder about the important things in life. I'm sure next june will bring new surprises and as well as irritants, as LM always does. Its one week/weekend... the ring is all year round and all your lovely CA friends wont be there. The Gimp will miss you and Lady PP was planning a treat for you in in my Perversion Parlour. Now you dont want to miss out on that do you......................................................

i went last year to finish the brakes off - got new brakes now that i spent a fair old wedge on and apart from surviving a recent track day they will be fine - aswell as the tyres. the date looks like its changing so lemans maybe back on for me  :angel:

Good on ya Kev! But more importantly who is that total babe in your avatar??? I can feel some stalking coming on.....  ;D

You're not the first to ask that. Here you go.

Oops, stalking hat been firmly placed back in the box .. only four years older than my daughter .. I should be ashamed .. again!  ;)

Cheers for the link Bob  ;D

And should the race weekend be the 13th/14th (always been led to believe it would be) the Saturday is my 45th b'day .. anyone joining me for pre-race beers with the T.W.A.T.S. for our traditional build-up sing-along and beach ball party on the terraces?

 ;D

I read your posting very quickly.

Is this what your planning ......

(http://www.funnypictures.biz/fp_images/volleyball8405.jpg) (http://euroross.blogspot.com/Beach%20Volleyball%202.JPG)

I hope it is, come on your only 45 once

I think thew girl in the top picture is about to get TWATTED.

Sadly, exciting though it is (or at least it seems that way after much Kronenbourg!) it merely consists of drunken revelry, a big flag and several inflatable articles (usually spherical but open to those replicating the aforementioned beach volleyball babes).

Have to say our little posse are merely hangers-on and are not officially affiliated with those fine-upstanding gentlemen from the Huntingdon area  ;D

Simon, Jon et al .. see you there  ;)

And if it's shots of beach volleyball you're after, took these little beauties at the drivers vs Bacardi Girls beach pre-race beach volleyball at Sebring in 2006  ;D .....

I wouldn't watch Corrie from now on then if the picture in the papers today is anything to go by  :o  >:D  ;D

Oh mama. This will be the first time in my life I have actually chosen to watch Corrie.

You don't know what you've been missing Rob :P

When I started this thread
http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=9097.0

it was Rozzy (to give her her Lancs sounding name) that I was referring to.
Best looking thing on the telly!!! ;D

PS. Kev... The Grill is going Pink tomorrow and maybe some of those stick on badge letters that normally say GTI on a GL.

PPR... but in black obviously, they would look stupid in silver ;)

PP

paint the badges pink aswell ;)

The PPR Grille letters?  or all of them?
Fat girls with brown babies have pink badges on their scrot mobiles in Portsmouth so I would rather not have that image while at work.

That aside Kev, you seem short of words about Princess Alex.
Are you hiding something from us... Alex is actually Ginger like Lady PP if that helps...

 ;D PP

Just Paint the PPR badges pink
