I HATE THIS BIT!! The gap between the sending off of the early leavers, and my departure..... Just a couple more days though! Have a safe trip everyone....if you're in a drop top, remember sun cream, if you're in a rear wheel drive, remember to keep it on the black stuff if it rains....if you're in a vauxhall, take your spanners I'm not going till crack of dawn-fart on thursday - still packed the car yesterday though!.... The next three days will not go quick enough! Same for us, last bit of car loading today, then a long long 3 days at work, mind you can't see much getting done on wednesday , then 05:40 P&O out of Dover on Thursday Indeed. Today is to pack, unpack, check all gear again, repack, last chance to buy missing items, pack them too. Then 2 days at work, trying to get the next 5 days work complete before logging off last thing Tuesday. Up with the larks on Wednesday, HA-Nord here we come

How did they fall into your possession then, BG? Goodwood were charging a premium for them (well, £2 or something ) last time I was at the FoS a couple of years back. May well track you down on our trudge from HA to the Dunlop bridge and back

Having just put the second head gasket in as many years (and the third over its shameful 10 year life) on mrs dee's Megane a couple of weeks ago, was it grateful? Was it hell. Last week it promptly shat its little auto transmission to pieces. It now sits in shame on the driveway, having been replaced at the weekend with a slightly less old, less used and hopefully less thirsty focus. Damn and blast you, French manufacturers. You're all in league with Lucifer, the lot of you Anyone want to buy a super Megane, regularly serviced, fantastic runner (as long as you don't want it to go anywhere.... )

Ref my original post (thanks Termie ), doesn't look as though they're optimistic of the coverage reaching the hallowed ground that is HA-Nord. And one spare battery? Has anyone told them its a 24hr race, not a 1hr40 roundy roundy

Club Arnage / General Discussion / Kangaroo TV Coverage

Also from http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/pages/animations_fr.html (translation courtesy of Google) PORTABLE TELEVISION Kangaroo TV is a television lightweight and portable, which broadcasts live the race of the Le Mans 24 Hours 2008. Available for rent on the circuit, he received images and audio commentary multilingual in all areas spectators inside the Bugatti circuit, village, dressing rooms, forums, and all spaces of receipt.
For the user, Kangaroo TV is a privileged link with the race since it allows for permanent access, and in real time, all data telemetry (general classification and by category, timed time), plus images race and even board cameras.
Arrivals place on the Kangaroo TV booth located at the entrance to the paddock: packages a day (Saturday or Sunday): 65 € Event package (Wednesday, June 11 to Sunday June 15): 80 €.I recall Bernie trying to push this for F1 races. A bit pricey IMO at ~£60 for the weekend, i wonder if the signal reaches as far as HA, don't suppose so.
