CA Forum Gathering at Le Mans 2010

[LangTall]

As I'll be on BSJ this year, I recommend the DfH bar at the Porsche Curves.

There's a good viewing area and I'll only be a short stagger from my tent.

I think they mean the exit of the Porsche Curves which is within the MB camp site - not the viewing area at the start of the Porsche curves!

Yup, that is the spot.

Number 42... why - read on

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The number 42 is in Douglas Adams' book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in which the number 42 is The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, as calculated by an enormous supercomputer over a period of 7.5 million years. According to the fifth Hitchhiker volume, Mostly Harmless, 42 is the location of Stavromula Beta. In 1994, Adams created the 42 Puzzle, a game based on the number 42.
[edit] In the works of Lewis Carroll

I know I think I might have got the wrong end of this  -  BUT I will not be there anyway, going to the Classic. Whatever you choose have a good one.

You will miss me in March too as I will not be at Sebring either, still the Classic is worth looking forward to.

And I may be able to go to the Silverstone Classic.

As Team Booze'n'tabs are getting old and decided not to cycle everywhere we are in MB so would go for that. Would even bring along some of my highly alcoholic with chili kick ginger beer 

[Werner]

....chili kick ginger beer 

  - May be we should make a "Who brings the strangest drink - competition? 

[Maximum]

Despite to other years the DFH bar this year will be a sellf build one on a little trailer.
200l, a tap, a gernie and a small fridge.
Because of logistical problems and probably lack of space on BN we are thinking of rebuilding a small 2 meter trailer into a mobile supply unit to park next to the curves on MB.

This will supply our drinks on BN during the week and is easy to tow / push to MB to have a drink during the race.

Or a Peugeot branded corporate pop up tent?

[Lorry]

Nothing that complicated.  You just need someone with an MB pass with a towbar.  They drive out, hook up and drive back in.  Saves all that pushing - thirsty work though, I'm sure

Sorry, I'm in Blue Nord again

that won't work, the Peugeot tents have nobody in them on any where near them. Can't belive that will happen to DFH 

[Paddy_NL]

Ah yes, and them 'toopid Dutch misspell the brand, of course

[Werner]

Hi all,

I just reviewed this thread and there seems to be a clear majority for a Midnight Mass at the DfH beer stand at Maison Blanche - at the exit of the last Porsche Curve inside the MB campsite. It will be a BYOB event and I will announce it like this in the 2010 CA Guide as our official annual gathering.

At least a few of us should wear CA shirts from one of the last years so the forum newbies can identify us.

@DfH: Could someone sketch a small map where exactly on MB you plan to set this up, may be copy a detail from google map and mark it there - so I can put it in the guide too

Cheers - and I think the JB fans can celebate - aaah celebrate today

Almost at the same place as the DFH campsite from 2008.

Far end of the MB site at the grid.
