My rocco goes on road trip to Le Mans.

Post by marriedblonde »

Seemed to be a lot busier than last year at the track and there was an awful lot more police around.

Only spotted 3 other rocco's, 2 black and a white one all french registered.

Plenty of other tastey machinery kicking around.

Had great weather apart from the drive down on thursday when it was thunder and lightning. and a spot of rain on friday night (I say a spot it dumped it down) I stayed outside of Le Mans again this year as the campsites by the circuits are pretty awful. Definately worth the 10 minute drive home at the end of the night.

Anyway, I have a few pics of my car stickered up and a few of the cars themsevles which I will up load after I have finished working.

Word of warning if you do go be careful on the drive home, about 50 miles from Caen I got tugged along with countless other brits, unfortunately me for I was enjoying the drive home a little too much and ended up with a ban in france (no biggy), they've kept my licence and a 750Euro fine (yep thats not a typo 7 5 0 !). Not what you need. I was given the choice of paying the fine in cash on the spot or loosing my car until I did pay. They were there to generate revenue not for saftey reasons. Not once did I get told off for speeding, all they said was nice car and very fast. When I left I asked if I could drive and the response was - we don't care you have paid your fine on your way.

I am not griping about the fine as I was speeding and only have myself blame I am just giving you guys (and gals) a warning. One chap in a scooby didn't have the money to pay and they took his car off him. Stick to below a ton and the fine's "only" 90 euro's

Sound clip at the straight just after the corner at the end of Mulsanne straight. The cars are just opening up :-) Sounds amazing at night.
