somewhat wishing i had a convoy to follow - that's half the fun!

Early Thursday morning 07:06 Eurotunnel crossing.

Whoop getting excited now! Group of 8 of us going, two on the Sunday before then six arriving on Wednesday. Staying just over the Dunlop bridge houx annex??? Not driving the zed though... more comfort and space in the 330d.

First time for me at le mans but going with seasoned vets so should be good!

For any first timers the following public service announcement is essential reading - ignore at your peril!

I’m going too!

Not in the M tho, will need more space. Taking the trusted Fiat Argenta.
See u there!

Got back early this morning, the zed was faultless and aside from a fuel tank the size of a thimble and some nifty packing it made a great le mans companion and it got some nice comments and thumbs up along the way too

I'll upload my photos shortly

I agree re the size of the tank. I had never done a run of that length until Le Mans last year. Even though I stuck to the autoroute speed limits I only got 25 mpg and always seemed to be stopping for petrol.

I'm off to the Classic 2 weeks tomorrow!

Averaged about 25 mpg also on the way down cruising at 130kph ish. Back in England with shell power I averaged 31 for the 100 miles back from Portsmouth - weird!

Welcome safely home gallant Zedders.

Look out for us in our Datsun 240/260 Zs rob

I’m going to the Classic too in the 240Z and staying at the same place as Status and the boys

Just realised I’d already posted on this thread

Hi all , 1st post for me ,What a great site ,been signed up for a while but as i'm mechanical not good with spanners etc i can't add much to you clever chaps , but learnt a hell of a lot , so thanks you all
Had a great 1st time at Le Mans ,Not one for camping now and like a good bed i stayed out of town
Went on to do the D-Day museums/beaches for 2 days after the event as i've never been but very interested in what those brave men all went through
Even had 2 people ask to take pictures of the car ! ... Not common across the water as here these cars as i only saw one other 'Z' in the 5 days i was there !!
I bought the car 18 months ago ,a Silver grey 3.0si Auto on 11000 miles ,still really smooth and drives like new , roof motor was already moved, I do need Mikes exhaust mod/new keys/air con refresh though so saving up the beans ..Cheers Jon
