Club Arnage

To Paddy and the DFH/JPC crew and the Flying Baguettes.

What a gig on Friday! The Absolute highlight of 06.

I even managed to hear the thanks to Paddy on radio Le Mans at about 13:30 Sunday, didn't catch the full mention though due to dodgy reception on the freebee Audi radio.

With this worldwide fame you could start up a Brand!

humble thanks, other members of DFH will post later also i guess :)

the Radio LeMans mentioning was very cool, they were thanking DFH and Paddy especially for making the friday night for what it was. Also the Flying Baguettes and the Brethren where mentioned by name for their contributions

Yes big thanks too from me and to  Team JPC for getting me so drunk that I have no memory of leaving (3 am I was told) walking back to blue nord, crossing the road, the car park and camp site. Locking my camera in the car, getting undressed and then puting on my CA t shirt and a pair of undies on backwards before falling to sleep. Non of which I have any memory of !

Thank you too, RedStu! What I actually want to say is that we all made it the night it was. And my God - it was A night!
It started off for Roy, Marius and me driven up and down from our campsite for a flash-visit to the RfH-pitbox with VIP treatment. We saw Stefan, Alex and Jan and handed Jan 'his' shirt (Click for photo bottom left (http://www.janlammers.com/XmlParser/index3.asp?xmlfile=racingforholland\fotogallery\gallery.xml&xslfile=racing-for-holland\fotogallery\more.xsl&id=93)). Then we got back to find Canal+ filming the concert and crowd (I hope the lady stays in touch, she promised a dvd of the result ;)), and all you guys there too!
I'll never forget the end where we were on top of the podium. The sight was awsum! 8)

One very big special thank you to the Flying Baguettes, the Brethren, team JPC and ofcourse Beerman and Buurman for their hard work behind the beertap. I'm very pleased to say the evening brought € 1200,- for Doris' charity.

It was great, really really great. Friday night made my 2006 Le Mans something never to forget. Thank you all!!

Hi Paddy
Just amazing.

I've just added the link to all the photos from Janlammers.com below, the first link didn't work for me for some reason.

However a javascript error seems to stop me getting a bigger picture.

You know what the best thing is guys?? After the race myself & a buddy always wander round the paddock for an hour or two. Guess what t-shirt Jan changed into after the race?? Yup you guessed it, the exact same one you gave him!! :o

He was tucking into some food in the RfH hospitality, we left him to it but I did think the top looked unlike any of the rest of the team!!

What an accolade...........Pictures on Jan Lammers website,4 TV crews queueing up to film the antics of DFH...........and........maybe next year the Drivers Parade!!!!!!! ;D

Pics anybody?

Ah! The first '06 pictures! cool!

Friday night was amazing indeed. We've managed to empty eleven barrels that night, nearly half the stock!  :o

See you all next year or perhaps at the Nurburgring or Sebring!

You guys were awesome  ;D   More to follow plus some video.....

What can I say, Friday night was an awesome party, thankyou DFH, and everybody else who helped with the festivities.
One day when I hang up my LM ticket holder because I am to old and infirm to go, I will remember that night as one of the highlights of my visits to La Sarthe.

Respect and thanks to the amazing Paddy and the DFH crew.

Excellent. Nice to see this year the photo survived :D

Friday was great. Thanks for everyone who dropped by to have a beer. Think we'll need some more next year :)
And it was really good to find out how much was given for Doris' charity.

I really had a great time at my first ever LeMans. That wasn't just down to the rest of DfH but also the fun I had with a lot of people from Club Arnage, especially the boys from team JPC and offcourse babyface Cutler and his friends and family. The T.W.A.T.S. were good fun as well on saturday night.

Yeah, and a real treat to meet you lot too - see some of you for the Classic/DTMs maybe? :D

I'll be at the Classic! See you there. And no, I don't have a band on Friday.

You get around Pieter!!  ;D

So Fran, tell us, when is your marriage planned for ;D

I thought 2nd or 3rd weekend in June 2007 - somewhere in France - would need to be in a big field tho - I think Pieter proposed to several other people last week!!   ::)

......I did what??? :o :o

Had the steering wheel stolen by the looks of that photo!! Damn those pikies....

What a great night, the hospitality of everyone was amazing.

I think DFH deserve an EU grant, European Nation Harmony or stuff like that - worth a try!

Thanks to all involved, JPC, The Brethren, and everyone else.

Hearing how everybody has enjoyed the party is great!!!!

But do remember that all the people who were there made the party not just DfH!!! You all are a great bunch of people who have their hearts in a good place looking at the amount of money that was collected.

I (.........well I think it is safe to say WE) hope you will be their again next year and see you then or at a track before that time.

First class party on Friday night, big thanks to mine hosts DfH and Team JPC, the Brethrens fireworks and the Flying Baguettes.

It was great to see and chat to everyone, especially FS.

Thanks everyone for their compliments. But without all of you the party wouldn't have been the same. So everybody, thank you for coming and hopefully we'll see eachother next year at Le Mans or at another raceweekend before that.  :)

There was a really great atmosphere. Thanks so much to Paddy and all at DfH and to JPC and his team.
Fabulous evening.

Thanks guys and gals, it was our pleasure to spend some time with the legend that is DfH and your absolutely amazing hospitality. There's nothing I can write here which can adequately express our appreciation and regard for your efforts in making Le Mans what it is, and indeed, what it has become over the last couple of years.

Regards and thanks to all from Team Zarse.

That sounds accurate, although by the looks of all the girls running away when they saw me next morning, I doubt the big field will be of any use. :-[

I'd also like to thank all of DfH, and specifically the two I met personally, Paddy_NL and Pieter (again).   What an incredible setup, topped only by their kindness and generosity.   A top notch operation across the board.  We enjoyed your fireworks display from across the track.

-Rob

Just a big thank you to the DfH team for their hospitality last week. Friday night was awsome.

Looking forward to 2007

The first of my photos including some of those from the party are on Drinkingforholland.nl in the albums. Below is a link to the sub-album. Other pictures by me and other members will probably be their anytime.

A thankyou to DFH for there hospitality, I didn't make it down but three virgins in our team found themselves at the party. They said the music was excellent and the table footie was good. Not to mention the beer. 

Me and Chaos never made it back form Le Mans town centre. If you spotted two blokes with a megaphone, a saltire, a lot of bad singing some ceildh dancing, bagpipes, that would have been us.
Nice to meet SmithA, I hope you didn't upset to many people at the christian refuge.

Thanks to Paddy and the DFH team for your amazing hospitality, and the provision of the stage and support for our guys concert

Cheers

Mal

On behalf of all the Flying Baguettes

Thank you to all of you DfH guys who made Rowena and I so welcome this year, it wouldn't have been the same event without you.  Great to meet with all from Sebring too.  

Maybe see you at Donington or if I can afford the trip, my sister and I may fly out for Nurbergring...

 ;D x

Will be at both events, so will see you somewhere soon! I'll try to behave this time. ;D Loved having you girls over, got some pics as well (see other post in this thread).

Vicky, the pleasure was all ours, at least you got away from the odd couple!!!!

And Rowena, what can I say, ehhhh, I better shut up now!

How cool is this  ;D

Check out the rest of Keith's gallery here http://www.gtphotosport.com/lm2006/index.html the Spyker crew one is pretty good too!

OK - someone tell me how to fix the picture! It doesn't want to work for me - you'll find it here http://www.gtphotosport.com/lm2006/kpk_2437.html


<I hope you don't mind Anita, I took the liberty of fixing the link - should be .jpg (picture file name) not .html - great picture Keith ..... Steve>

Cheers Steve  ;D

That's a great picture! Rest as well, but this one is special to me being Dutch ;)

great pictures :)

Mighty cool !!!

That is a sweet picture, the one with the spyker guys as well, we did well me thinks!!!

Here's one from MiCarr, stunning picture ;D

That's indeed a great one. ;D

Nice pictures indeed. The one with the Spyker-guys and the one above are both great. In the DFH-perspective.

 :D

I've added the second selection of my pictures to my gallery at Drinkingforholland.com. Mostly poo bar and tw**t pictures and some of Team Impala.

By the way. Never sleep in your car near or on the DFH-site. We have a lot of ducktape and seeling material. Pieter found out when he did. Unfortunately we couldn't get his windows taped shut, so he managed to get out before the end of the week.

Bastards! ;D

whaha nice shot :D

Surely that cant be all of Keith's gallery... something seems to be missing!  :'(

Ahh I imagine you mean the Saleen?   He says he'll sort some out for you if you want them - he's got lots! 

 ;D - well, it would be rude not to!

LOL !!!   ;D   

OK Fran, especially for you  ;D

http://www.gtphotosport.com/saleen/index.html

Phwoarrrr - thanks......... where is my pelican bib??!!   :P

I suppose I gotta share with Termie tho - as she let me have a borrow of her Saleen hat!  ;D

Stop drooling Fran

I am trying Bob - honest!

I am curious about the guy sort of flippin' the bird on pic no. 26 tho....

Thanks to all (DfH, JPC and CA) for making my buddy Jan and I feel so welcome on our first Le Mans experience! I've been to other race parties but friday was INSANE man. Great tunes, cool people and what a fireworks display! The CD burning microwave on thursday was a lovely touch too! 8) Also I wanted to thank Paddy and the DfH boys for letting me express my art that has been waiting since 1988 to be shown at Le Mans. I hope it lasts for next years camp set up! Thanks again all! Now that the US is out of the Cup its HUP HOLLAND BABY!  ;D

PS did anyone get a few shots of the drawing?
I wasn't able to  :-\

Still have to sort out my pictures, but should at least have some of you painting, not sure if I captured the finished version. But surely someone has!

Although I've seen and admired it, for some reason I didn't get a picture of it. But I presume it'll stay on there, nice LM memory!

If not, I'll take one. It's in my office now, eagering for Nürburgring ;)

You're talking about the flag with silkcut drawing on it? If so, maybe you should take a look at the Holland letters because they seemed to be coming of in the last few days. Maybe they need some glue.
