Club Arnage

Although this will be my 12th time to Le Mans, I have never been to the Drivers Parade on the Friday night.

Is it worth a visit? Where is the best place to stand and what time do we need to be there to get a decent view? I assume we can get the tram.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Take a look at page 51 of the CA guide 2009 for helpful info - map etc  :)

It is almost the highlight of the week - highly recommended

Yes it's fun, just get there in time, also going early will make you avoid the very very very busy trams on Friday 3 to 5 pm.

But you could end up very, very, drunk, it doen't start till 6pm.

Tony
It's my 14th trip and, like you, I've never been to the parade. I'm a complete free agent this year without the "What do you wanna do tonight"? "I don't know, what do you wanna do" palaver. For me it's a must-do so might see you there although I want to fit in the event in Mulsanne on the afternoon as well. Makes a complete change from the lunacy between Maison Blanche and Bleu. I must be getting old!!

Wooooooah.
501 posts. I'm a demi-God.
Excellent!!

Steve,

As you are on houx you are only a short walk from the tram, which is handy as the trek to the bus stop by the cemetry was not good with a bad head.  We'll be going into town Friday and normally end up in the vicinity of the parade where we bump into Rusty and the Breth, then its Irish bar, then its........ you know the rest !

Jem

Congratulations your Lordship

I'm travelling with a Lord & a demi-God  :o

Ade

Bless you my son!

Lord Steve

I trust you will be visiting the T.W.A.T.S. wheelie bin on the start line on Saturday. ;D

Thank you my son

Certainly will mate!
I should be there about 12ish and will make a deposit in the wheelie bin of life!
Thank you for the invitation.

Steve

This will be the 13th time at the 24hrs and haven't seen te parade yet ... I've got a newbie with me this year, he wants to see as much as possible, so we'll try to make it to the parade.  We're even planning to leave already on Monday to watch the scrutineering of the Astons.

if I'm sober
if I'm fit enough
if I remember

I might get along for this too

I really should...

 :-\

Did the parade a few years back with my mate Mark and Powermite and his crew. What a laugh we had. It's worth making the effort for.

I agree,I really enjoyed it.

Plus there is shopping mall near the start.
Just in case you need to get the Misses a "non race related" gift.

"A"

Its been on my to do list for years but never made it. We set off in the van one year and just got stuck in traffic for ages and settled for McD instead. Problem is getting all my lazy bastard mates motivated. It took 4 years of nagging to get them down to Arnage corner in the early hours, so I guess its going to be a tall order to get to the parade.

Congrats Steve, by making pointless posts I'm hoping to hit 1000 today (its only taken 5 years and 6 months so far). But its so damn quiet around here these days ::)

Si

Dr S,

how many posts do you need to make that number?

Just another 4 after this one ;)

Or could that be 3? I can't count

Ahh the count (http://www.redstaplerchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/The%20Count.jpg)

He's a funny looking fella, I know him from somewhere ???

could he be a moderator?

or someone else?

Is he one of the Brethen??

Oooo, look at that 1000Th post ;D ;D

Thanks for putting up with me ladies and gents ;)

Si

Well Done Dr S

Dr S

Congrats mate!!!

You'll have loads of time week after next to make postings and expect soon get to the 1500 mark.  After all you can do that whilst you research marital law and "how to get into a house when the locks have been changed"  :D :D :D :D

I'm close behind and would love to become a God before Le Mans. Fingers crossed.

Hang on, that tunnel Dr S has beening digging to escape, can be used to get back in as well.

Or does he have to use other ways of getting back into his fortress, (http://personalpages.tds.net/~oldtoivo/Wisconsinosity/Adams/trojanrabbit_sm2.jpg)

and here;s one he made earlier - (http://www.lofpb.com/Pictures/TROJAN%20RABBIT.jpg)

If you want to cheat, you could start your very own thread and mumble to yourself...  ;)

How many posts do you need to get there Gary??  ;D

Not many now cheers, but I'm trying to do it without padding (Yeh right) ;D

Whats padding??

You know when you get what you thought was a well endowed young lady back to your place for the first time and.........let's just not go there.

Gary the God

of course I knew him when he was just a geezer!

nice one o' (un)padded one

 >:D

bill

It's good to be a God

Many thanks Si
Remind me where you are camped - beer may be involved. If I don't catch you before suppose its the Courbe Bar Saturday night?
Steve

You did it - does that mean you are twice as sad as me?

Congratulations your Godship (not that I'm using this forum to gratuitously post stupid messages just to enhance my status - that would be ridiculous).

- and moderated  ;D :police:

I hope you are not going to deduct me points Smokie!

its fun when these things sorta catch up with you...

I just can't remember

 :D


how are we doing for thread drift?

far enough to start back on the drivers parade or shall we leave it a bit longer?

Topic What topic ;D No chance of keeping up with all the posts at this time of year.
I have enjoyed the parade in other years been too busy the last few.
See you all soon
Phil
