Hello all! Chaps, I've posted before on the 'Help' thread since I'm going to Le Mans next year and meeting some of you fine folks. Thanks for all of the help and advice (albeit somewhat bizare  ) I'm looking forward to talking to you and potentially 'aveing a beer with you in Juin. Cheers mates! |

Hi Jonny,
Welcome to the nut house, like the todo list, but maybe No1 should read " Meet some great poeple - recover from hang over".

Thanks for all of the help and advice (albeit somewhat bizare ) It might seem bizarr now, but nothing you read on here will adequately prepare you for the things you'll witness once you get there. Make a booking with your therapist for your return in late June. Oh, and hi, welcome aboard CA. |

Thanks guys, Zarse, I can;t imagine Le Mans being too much crazier than Knoxville? After all I did witness a lady getting a bit of the old in out from behind, behind a apparel trailer. All of this wasn't more than10 ft from the front stretch and directly across the street from Dingus (famous bar racers hang out at). But that is why I'm going because its going to be a totally different experience different cars, different country, but very similar people because hey, we're all race fans right? Just outta curiosity do they sell Warsteiner Octoberfest there? That is some good brew!  |

I don't think there's much I can add, other than what a nice looking little tractor.
It needs an open mind, an open mouth and open bowels

There's a large array of beers available in the Hypermarkets, and I've certainly seen Warsteiner there but not sure about am Octoberfest variation. Gilles (who lives in Le Mans) has previously mentioned a shop in the town centre that does a wider range. Plus of course we have some German friends heer on the forum who may offer to bring some over for you? |

Jonny, Jesus H Christ on a Harley! Knoxville sounds pretty crazy and I'd love to give it a go someday. Le Mans is crazy but in a different way. For an acurate dipiction of what to expect, have a look at on this page for BigH's previous posting on the subject of the Houx Annexe campsite: http://www.clubarnage.com/forum/index.php?topic=2844.msg31852#msg31852It's rather Pythonesque down there and none of the other sites are much better. For example, Maison Blanche is a bit gay. It's as camp as a row of pink tents. In fact, it is a row of pink tents with the George Michael Shower Block for added measure. |

At least there is a shower block in Maison Blanche, and it doesn't look like an Iraqi refugee camp being visited by Carroll Shelby. And the guy on the bogs is French not Greek. Never seen pink tents, but if they're on offer at Carrefour we'll have them. If there's enough Tropicoma to go round nobody will notice anyway |

KN looked a bit cramped when I toured with Fran this year, but then they all do by Fri night...
Rusty and mgmark are both KNers I think - probably others too.
Realistically you may just have to take what you can get. But certainly the largest contingent from this web site will be on Maison Blanche.

^^^Sounds good, I'll try to get over there. Also something I didn't ask but should have, are there many campers with 'sticky hands' shall we say? Is it more of a deal where I cover your back you cover me and everyone is cool? Of corse I'll lock the majority of my things in the car but you never know so thats why I ask.

Hi Jonnyspa27, Welcome to CA. I have Warstarter hand carried from Germany by my good friend GAB, however lots of interesting beers on sale in the supermarkets to experiment with. Karting Nord is actaully not accesable to MB due to a small thing, the track is in the way  All campsite have there advantages and KN is certainly not too far from the action. Canada Phil |
