That said, I was aware that we may struggle to find 20 actual members at short notice, so had already pinpointed a few candidadtes to invite as guests of 10Tenths (one being Dominique, bernard b's friend. He's an integral part of the annual Tenths Saturday meeting and definitely one of us in all but forum membership).

Tim, I've noted your Thursday request. Gilles Lives! and wewantourdarbyback, are you asking for an extra place for Wednesday or Thursday or either? I have also had PM's from a couple of longstanding members with similar requests, one of which I would particularly like to accommodate if at all possible.

I need to speak to Audi before going down this line, but I have a sense we may need to do so if we are to deliver a full compliment of 20.

It's for either day, we're easy.

For me, Simmi and our friend Ranvir.

Thanks.

The new village is a large concrete area behind the pits with shops on either side and the huge AUDI sponsered monument at one end it is quite high up and overlooks the pits you can't miss it, somewhere presumably close to the audi sign will be a display of cars, the shops are mostly filled with expensive stuff but the area between is very open with a few new trees and seats. Don't worry we will find you, check the old meet photo's to see what some of us look like, or ask any white haired english standing around it might be me.

I really need to get to Le-Mans next year, every year I put it off for one reason and another. I even have 2 seasoned experts Elavial and GT6 to tag along with now. Maybe next year, im sure my wife wont mind me leaving for a few days!

nobster · 12 Jun 2012, 11:01 (Ref:3089482)

if there is still place left then please for me the thursday +1 ( if possible)

whitemr2 · 12 Jun 2012, 11:14 (Ref:3089491)

Either, wednesday or thursday, hope I'll be considered.

You can always make sure that your wife realy wouldn't mind....

Tim the Grey · 12 Jun 2012, 12:47 (Ref:3089528)

OK, on a ferry tonight, arriving tomorrow. Fingers crossed for Thursday.
I won't have much chance to catch up until I'm over there...

Good luck, one and all, and I am content if I cannot go because I have a sprog in tow.

Thanks to Florian and Audi for the offer.

Gilles lives! · 12 Jun 2012, 13:08 (Ref:3089538)

Have a good trip down Tim, I've got to wait until Thurs morning 5.50 am for our crossing and one more night at work. I hate this waiting for it all to begin business !

**Bentley03** · 12 Jun 2012, 13:49 (Ref:3089571)

So, I've spoken with Audi, and the +1 situation they understand and are happy with. The Wednesday group is going to fall into place quite easily, but Thursday is a way off being settled and I'm sorry to say there will be some disappointments. Apologies in advance, I will try to be as fair as I can, and if needs be I will place names in a hat and ask Ayse to draw the names of those who will take the final places.

**Aysedasi** · 12 Jun 2012, 13:57 (Ref:3089582)

And as everyone knows, I do have the hat!

**Bentley03** · 12 Jun 2012, 14:06 (Ref:3089589)

Wednesday full - confirmed as set out below:

Wednesday Group: please meet me at 21:30 at the Audi Fan Area in the village (this is NOT the shop but the larger area where there will be cars on display).

aysedasi
tonypowe
vincegail
batmobile
batmobile (brother)
lemansfan
lemansfan (friend Tom)
Simmi
Simmi (friend Ranvir)
wewantourdarbyback

Looking forward to seeing you all at 21:30 tomorrow (Wednesday)!

Cameras - ABSOLUTELY!

This is most definitely an opportunity for photographers. Please bring cameras and make the most of the uninterrupted views.

and as it will be dry, warm and sunny, there is no danger catching a cold when doing so...

....actually there will be a technically advanced counterflash system that detects pictures being taken and replaces the image with a Peugeot 908 picture from last season....

CTD · 12 Jun 2012, 15:26 (Ref:3089622)

Haha!

You see? What do I keep telling you guys?

Even Audi believe me now.........

Truckosaurus · 12 Jun 2012, 19:38 (Ref:3089740)

If there is room for me and my mate Phil (i think his tenths username is eps or epsracing) on Thursday that would be nice. But if there's anyone who is not going on the Toyota trip then they can gladly go ahead of us.

Sorry to say Thursday is very oversubscribed, so I'm going to have to disappoint you on this one (along with a number of others).

Safe journey, and I shall look forward to seeing you on Friday!

Thanks

Genuinely sorry to say I'm going to have to disappoint you and your son......too many deserving members requesting places and some 'special cases' I feel I must accommodate. Sorry!

That's ok James, he hasn't been for a number of years and it would have been a nice surprise, but he's going to love being down there no matter what !
Hope it all goes well

But, please don't let this put you off. You are a very new member, too new to be considered on this occasion. Keep reading and posting, become a regular contributor to the forum, and I'm sure by next year you'll be in a position to confidently put your name forward for a place on one of our Le Mans 'treats' and be considered alongside all our other regular contributors.

Hope to meet you at the Saturday meeting!

When will the lucky "winners" of Thursday be displayed?
