We tried to get on there but it sold out pdq.
Another car that's part of our group, but heading down the day before us so who know's if we'll be camping together, is Dad and his Mk2 Jag (gunmetal grey, vents on bonnet, will be sporting 24H roundels on the doors). So if you find him instead of us, still say hi!

It has to be a kit car (I checked and it is) There's still time to change the diff, and install aircon And good luck with the pictures Dottore. I really ought to start going to the test day again |

Picked her up last night, its good to be able to change gear properly. It was a good drive home Tomorrow is brakes day then we're in business, OK cosmetically it might not be quite ready inside but I'm confident on getting there now. Air con is easy....it's called taking the roof down  Problem is, I've been 'meaning' to get her back on the road for the past couple of years but things kept getting in the way, so I committed to Le Mans to give myself a deadline to work to....and its just loomed quicker than anticipated!!! |

rear brakes changed yesterday driving home smelt something funny and spotted smoke. Pulled over and brakes on fire. Stuck on and I didnt know. Let them cool and went back to the garage who just did it - checked it over backed the handbrake off 2 clicks was a bit tight and all ok now. Smoke was also the coating burning off so wasnt as bad as it looked!
Tickets collected from Jules, Tent dropped off with Mr Nopanic (has some fantastic coffee!) now time to check all my other gear and slowly pack

Final preparations: 400 mile shakedown in the car - I have a leaking steering pump hoses - scheduled for Wednesday. I'm too late for a respray so that's booked in after LM! And then the important one, the pre-Le Mans diet to ease the strain on the car and my camp bed.  Tent test next Saturday, local sausages in the freezer Friday. Aricus |
