Club Arnage

Chrimbo and the New Year are nearly upon us, when we meet we are always talking about "do you remeber" or "did you see". 

So with this in mind what was your ONE favourite memory of 2005?

It's not easy!!

All the best Peter

Could'nt tell you on this forum, but no one had the nonce to get out the camera as all our jaws were on the floor. What a night, what a show.

My best memory from 2005 (obviously you mean from LM) is going there the rest fades into oblivion.


Martin... a little more vodka please nurse.

Friday night, standing outside the Maitre Kanter (sp??) in Le Mans drinking beer and watching the world go by and the Brits coming out of the car park with the necessary wheel spinning.  It was all good natured and lots of fun. 

Not necessarilly Martini.  Could be from any endurance race through the year, ie sebring.

standing in the dfH pool, thinking "sh!t this beer is stronger than at home", boiling hot sunshine, cars whizzing around, and my dad flying towards me to push me over in the pool, watching his face as i moved and he disappeared head first into a pool which was very dirty at this point..... :d

If I can only pick one...

The arrival of the Gimp onto Maison Blanche. Undescribably funny...as all those that witnessed it would agree.

absolutely smokie! ::)

I can clearly remember the Flying Baquettes, the best surprise to our party! 8)

Mine at Le Mans, meeting Fran and Smokie.

Then seeing Fran not turn a hair at the sight of the Gimp at the 'poo bar. Mind you, having to chat with Paddy and me at the same time was probably a good reason for not "hair-turning"!

Paddy's beerglass mountain at the time was impressive. though, must have been that!

Specially whilst mopedboy was in the background too...

Oh b#ggerit! Just about all of LM this year fits the best moment category, including dragging my arthriticky legs to the champagne celebrations under the famous LM clock just after 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon with the trackside basking in 100+° temperatures.

2005 was magic for me for a whole week almost...

 :)

Singing on stage with the Flying Baguettes or the arrival of Gimp Zarse would normally be winners, but this year, seeing someone sit on the edge of the "easy-up" pool, collapsing it and allowing half the water to flood out, together with Bungle, one of the occupants, who was washed 20 feet away was just too funny.

Sunday nights concert by Arthur Brown at Le Mans was a fond inebriated memory

This is really funny to watch.  We had a similar occurance in 2004, when someone sitting inside just leaned too hard against the wall.  He was too  inebriated to do much about it, and once it starts it doesn't stop!  Another reason for prefering caravans to tents - they'll stand a good flooding

As much as I had the best Le Mans ever this year the one memory that stands out for me this year has to be the night-time excursion in Northamptonshire mid August.  Those of you who were there will know what I'm talking about.   ;)

All the above are fantastic memories, Gimps, Baguettes, pool antics and all. So good you honestly have to pinch yourself to make sure they really happened.

To be slightly serious, being waved down into the pits after the race at Sebring and hugged by Dave Richards and the Aston team was a top lifetime moment, let alone memory of the year.

Being woken at 4:30 am on Monday by someone banging my tent and yelling "Bob, wheres your car keys? I need my bag I've sh*t myself"

Not the nicest of alarm calls but one of the funniest

I'm with Andy on this one, Sebring was really special, watching the finish from the pit balcony above the Aston crew.  The Petit was a blast as always and this years Brickyard 400 was very memorable.  However the biggest party of the year for me, and my fellow residents of our beloved city is about to happen as the Bengals are close to clinching the AFC North and heading for the playoffs for the first time in a decade and a half.

I suppose my best memory and it is a hard choice; is coming to after a late afternoon slumber, seeing two very shapely naked women slipping into their thongs.  I just wish the camera was to hand 8)

I concurr with Doris re the night time antics - very amusing  ;)

However, one of my greatest memories is crossing the track at Sebring at 2 am Sunday morning with JPC, Smokie, Andy Z ................ and a carbon fibre bonnet from a Viper............... and then climbing a chainlink fence with it as the bridge was barricaded ............ and then .......................  ::)

Don't mention the double ended dildo wielding madman, Andy still has nightmares!!!  ;D :o

Just as a reminder!!

And now I know why Fax takes R2D2 everywhere! Girls just can't wait to jump on!!!!

Bloody hell Mark, you've just triggered a whole load of great Sebring 2005 memories  ;D

I think you've got the shots of us crossing the track haven't you Steve?

f**k*n' Nora!  I forgot all about that.
Took us 3 hours to get Fax's nose off that cooler lid.

Holy sh*t! Forgot about that.  Who needs to be carrying a baby or walking a puppy to attract women when you've got a beat-up, world traveling coolbox.  Was feeling no pain by that point...

Memories, memories  ;D

Where the f**k did we get the flag from ??

I have three.

1.  meeting allthe CA members at Sebring

2.MyCarr and MyDonnas wedding at Turn10

3.The overwhelming response of Team Impala
    at the Sebring 05 autograph session.


Sorry not much to compare with "The Gimp"


ps.please advise Chris Zarse never to dress as "The Gimp"
at Sebring. Just dont think those boys would understand.  LOL ::)

Surely this deserves a caption competition?

Richards: why DO you guys follow me EVERYWHERE?

Aww Perdu.. i am flattered!  (ok.. so i trimmed your post a bit..oohh errr.)

I think the Friday night campsite tour was a good night, meeting lots of CA'ers, discovering you could freewheel yer bike all the way from the main entrance to MB, and having my lungs blown (or was it sucked) inside out by the Bretheren fireworks!  :o

LE Mans - My brothers car and the lost keys !!

Life - Diving in the caribean after driving a speed boat to the dive site.
