Team Mangetout do France

[zeb]

Ah tout bon mes ami

Nous off to Le Mans to hopefully see Mr.Webber bring home the bacon for porsche so our forum activity may be slightly curtailed. This years crew is myself. Rock god wilson, Mr.concours himself and John.

Mr.Kellock is doing a previous booking for us at the classic so sadly wont be attending.

We will endevour to keep you updated with stories of beer, food and speeding fines which is a standard TMT trip to be fair []

Mangetout rodney mangetout[]



P.S.....we even have team shirts this year, gone proper posh[]

 

[vitesse]

Which roughly (very very roughly) translated means -Ah all good our friend-bonjour la tristesse-thank goodness TMT weren't representing us this last weekend in Normandy[]

 

[rob.kellock]

Have fun boys.

You do know the race doesn't start until Saturday?

TMT - punctuality matters!!

 

[zeb]

Race?...what race? []

 

[Wilsonjr]

Bonjour man!!! Mr K you will be missed in the beer tent :-/

 

[rob.kellock]

You could have gone and not watched the race with me at the Classic. John has a lot to answer for...

Enjoy the ride in the Boxster, you will be selling the GT3 when you come home. Maybe []

 

[zeb]

Or maybe not.......[]

Bet Hassan is looking forward to one of his concours beauties ending up like this:

Have fun and stay safe boys.

Mangetout.

 

[Fred Hindle]

As Hassan is a major contributor to the 'Keep Fred in Petrol' campaign he would still win!

Cheers,

As your collection grows & grows,Fred-you're going to need another benefactor.

Very true Colin but I think people would be suspicious if the Ebay 924 were to win the regional concours.

Cheers,

A pseudonym could be used maybe in disguise as well & I ( oops) someone could wipe the car for fingerprints[]

What, and ruin the patina!

Fred, that's exactly my own sentiment[]

Finally made it to Amboise.

Very good hotel but it needed to be after our 7 hour epic drive including the joys of the paris peripetic. It's ok though we found a bar that gives a new meaning to the term ' large beer'

More updates tomorrow []

 

[vitesse]

How many tyres have you had to buy on an epic journey like that,Jeremy?[]

 

[zeb]

So far so good Colin

Mind you, we're in has sans cayenne and johns boxster...so that helps!!

 

[vitesse]

Dead jealous -would love to be there-only been twice but each time it's been a cracker.

Didn't know at first quite whether your post was a clever play on French words--ie has without ( sans) Cayenne-but probably a slip of the finger after those large biers[]

 

[rob.kellock]

Giant beer sounds good to me!

Those boys know how to roll...

PS Mel and Jen have both been on the phone - something about needing the full Team Mangetout service this weekend? Someone's away or something - I didn't understand really but said I'd send Colin round later to sort them out - anything for you guys []
