Is it worth a visit to Arnage village on Friday afternoon?
Maybe a spot of lunch and a cheeky half?
Anyone got any photos of the set up there?

Well worth going to watch nice cars and fun and games. We normally get there late afternoon, stay for a while to have some food and beer, and then move on to DfH before Arnage starts getting too stupid or dangerous.

I went on my first Le Mans in 2002 and it was very enjoyable. Nice selection of bars available and exotics (cars I think not birds).
We are probably going again this year as it makes a nice change from campsite imprisonment.

If you must visit Arnage, don't make it the Friday after 8pm.
The CRS are out in force and they do not take 'prisoners'. Summary justice only and that is very painfull and you'll probably miss the race.
Tuesday to Thursday is OK. Some very nice food available.
Not enough time at the mo to tell about 'Le Cafe de la Gare'. Another time.

Mr Delboy, knicking pics off The Brethren website, Is that where they came from?? I know I have some of my own (I Know, I WAS that cricket bag!!) but these were the first I came across found when looking for them. These 'guys' were from an outfit called the checkmates - havn't seen them for a few years. Del |

Never been to Arnage on a Friday (hell, last time I actually went to Arnage was 2004!) as we're too busy preparing for "that what MGMark was saying". By the looks of those pics it seems we didn't miss much  |

Mr Delboy, knicking pics off The Brethren website, Nice Girl!! The Chequer team rescued Myself and Mr Chop the year before the "Stamped on Bat" image in question was taken. We had hopped off the sauna van after our trip to the square in search of Beer and Bogs at the top end of the highstreet, found the required and went outside to find the traffic had gone... as had the Brethren van! Disregarding all warnings of hitch hiking in France, out went the thumb and by the level crossing by the gare we were sat in the Chequers Granada Dorchester Limo and were whisked back to KN in style, with cold beer on board to boot. Does anyone know any of the chequers as we have not seen them for ages either! Not had an afternoon in Arnage for ages but did have a wild sunday nite up there in 04, my non drinking Ozzie mate fried the back tires of my 300c Saloon, filling the sports bar with smoke and some twat in a shogun fried his clutch by trying to do the same in 4wd I think that Plod have got a bit heavy handed up there now due to such antics and I heard someone in the baying crowd was hurt last year. See ya there this june! |

oh dear God that was disgusting.
Arnage is a great spot though at any time in my opinion. Many happy an hour spent boozing in the bars on the main street watching the rolling roadshow
