[LM24] The New Stuff Thread

[Aysedasi]

Yeah, chain him to the amps........

[GT6]

And then remove his ear defenders just as they start, while we run for cover

[CTD]

Oh please have mercy!
The level of cruelty is reaching the levels of inner hell!

[GT6]

Oh OK then you are sentenced to watch cars go round a track for 24 hours

From hell back to heaven!

Or the Beetle Fun Cup 25-hour race.

[GT6]

That is one hour to much punishment

[Victor_RO]

No, the extra hour is offset by the fact that that race is at Spa.

[GT6]

Oh thats OK then the sentence stands then

We still have a 24 hour race for 2cv's at Spa, still is high on my list of wanting to compete in it. Should be great fun.

[CTD]

Well, that would be ok, as long as it doesn't prohibit me from watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans

[Aysedasi]

I've got some new pens to take to Le Mans with me - does that count?

[nobster]

If it is new it counts Andrew.

Only if they are Le mans specific not for use elsewhere

[Aysedasi]

Well, apropos of nothing much at all, I shall be taking:-

1. My brand new Shawn Newton custom-made bulb-filler (swapped, as it happens, for an Omas Senna Passion!)

2. My older Shawn Newton custom-made bulb-filler....

3. A Parker Duofold Centennial with an oblique fine nib

4. Possibly a 1950's Aurora 88 (if I can get a nib for it in time) or an Aurora Archivi Storici

Now, pick the bones out of that lot!

[GT6]

i would if i could understand a word of it

[Aysedasi]

Just 4 of the 40-odd I have at the moment.......

Bringing 4 so you don't have to worry about refilling them or do you own some form of gentleman's travelling inkwell?

[nobster]

Addicted to collecting pens there Andrew?

[Aysedasi]

'Fraid so Nobby. As it happens, the Archivi Storici is coming to me from your neck of the woods......

Well, they do exist Ian, but I'll probably bring 2-3 bottles of ink as well......

Any suggestions for comfortable sleeping mat/bed/etc solutions?

Therm-a-rest branded mats look fancy but are £££/$$$/€€€ so I am tempted to just get another airbed and consider them consumable items.

Another terminal leak?? I guess it is Easter!

What about a self inflate roll mat? My Vango one is tip top.

The problem with pens for me was that either you never use the (as shameful as a car standing in a museum) or you use them and risk lossing them, I think i eventually lost all but one of the nice pens i was bought or given over the years

The next level is of course allowing him to watch the first hour of Le Mans and then refusing to tell him what happened after.
