I have a friend who lives in Normandy, might see if I can make Le Mans this year. I haven't been since 2003.

We are lucky in Morocco as there are a huge number of 4X4's, and a lot of scrapyards selling off parts, which is were I have found most of mine. If you are looking for a bargin, you should come here :cool4:

Well if you come to Le Mans come and have a drink at our camp, you can't miss us, Baltic ice road challenge on the Beausejour campsite, the only camp that will be covered in ice in June, or call into our hotel, in Pre en Pail, The hotel de Bretagne, all overlanders are made very welcome,:scooter:

I googled for your hotel and realised I've been in it (well the bar anyway) a good few times. I used to go to Dreux for the annual Mini Owners Meeting there and Pre en Pail (or Ready in a Bucket as we called it) was the halfway stop, so we'd pull up and have a beer before the next leg.

How long have you owned it?

lidel 22 Apr 2008 21:05

Hi
Dinah has owned it now for just over four years, before that the bar was tiny but now has a bar full of overlanders tales and pictures, including a world map watching where everyone is!!
When was the last time you called in??:thumbup1:

Alexlebrit 23 Apr 2008 07:43

Hmmm, now that would be errr 5 years ago - damn.

Anyway have friends in Laval which isn't that far away so I may well pop over and see...

lidel 23 Apr 2008 09:31

I take it you go every year? Is the Beausejour campsite the best one to stay at? Most appreciated:cool4:

lidel 24 Apr 2008 11:08

Beasejour is a fair way out from the track and this is the first year we are camping!! the best person to speak to is Brian at 1st tickets on 01767 680119 or Motor Sport Events from 1st-tickets.co.uk But you will have to be quick as most sites are fully booked,
all the best and see you thier!!!

Due to now needing a bigger car the discovery after spending heaps on her is forsale!!! we have bought a Landcruiser, check out the forsale forum!!! But the Baltic ice road challenge is well on target!!:D

Alexlebrit 5 Sep 2008 15:55

Bigger - heavier? and the ice was very thin last winter.

Did find out an interesting and slightly odd icey thing though, you can in theory drive all the way from Lahti in Finland to St Petersburg across a chain of canal connected lakes. Although, you might have to drive off the ice and round the locks of course.

You can also use Cannal of Saima from Iisalmi to St P it'll be more reliable.

lidel 19 Sep 2008 09:56

Ok cheers will check it out!!:thumbup1:
