Club Arnage

Rough cut of some of the gazillions of photos taken this year..

http://tinyurl.com/29bz3v

Unfortunately I was using Rachel's point and shoot at the 'poo bar which had managed to set itself to 640x480 so they are a tad on the small size!

Bloody safety rail in almost all of the car shots as well, which is a bit of a bugger

First pics I see of the Friday party! ;D (http://forum.drinkingforholland.com/images/smiles/icon_woohoo.gif)


Thanks! 8)

I haven't been through my video footage yet but I've uploaded the pictures and the video that Jordan took on my camera and there are a couple of great vids of you guys dancing around the bar and the stage - hopefully KK will get them on a website shortly. 

Whoohoooo!

thank you so much for sharing :D

Anita, did you do some recording on Friday night? If so, have you got a full song of the band? I think you could really please them with that!

Must get up into the stands next year ;D spent far too much time arsing about with "arty" shots which did not come out at all - the circuit is far too quick now to capture the brake disks glowing at night on TR.

Some great shots Termie, very nice indeed!

One of our lot got this on the M25 on the way home, which sort of sums it up really....

Which band?  I've got some footage of Vinny's Vice but had sadly passed out by the time "our" band came on.

I mentioned to someone you need to deal with lighting for another year, I took some footage of the charity auction etc but with no decent lighting on the stage I'm pretty sure it's unusable (or someone needs to buy me a big camera with its own light - either will do , I'm not fussy ;D). 

Yep, we were expecting lights from the Brethren, but that never came off. We'll do our best next year.

since we only had 1 band on stage footage from Vinnies Vice would be much appreciated :)

I might have a few but since I was in the bar a lot I didn't take a lot of pictures this year.

A here it is. Already put it in a different tried but this one is where it's supposed to be in. My pictures

Very cool pictures !!!

Just  few from Jordan he was let loose with Anita's cool pix should have some video soon

A simple request to all with photos to post.

Could you please not post your pics until evening time as I have work to do and am easily distracted ;D

Here's a couple of mine. Should really get round to posting a properly gallery, but there are thousands of them!

Wonderful. If the quality of the rest is as good as those three I suggest you do us all a favour and get them in a gallery ASAP.

Wow Mike, those are very cool! 8)

I'll try and get a "best of" of about 30 pics or so up later. Trying to pack (again!), as I'm off to Monza at 2am!

Hi there,

does someone have pictures of the car of my home team, the Kruse Pescarolo No.44 ? I got one from Termie already, but may be there are more around...

Thanks in advance

Werner

Just washing all the clothes I got wet and dirty at LM and then pack them all again for a week in Holland.  Hopefully I will post some pictures this week at least.

Werner, try Stranger at Planet Le Mans...

How about this one? I like that it is in front of the works Pescarolo!

Couldn't take many this year - camera was playing up.

But here's one - 'The morning after the night before'

(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/delboy9/0010.jpg)

Del

That picture Del was taken well after the clean up had started! You can see the blue sack filled with cup and me with another in my brethren shirt. We filled 6 sacks of crushed cups I seem to remember!

We should have left them for the pikies ;D

This one Werner?

Thanks Mike

Hi Lorry, thanks a lot - Was it taken during race or practice?

This was from practice, 20:04 on Wednesday.  My favourite shot was 5 minutes earlier

And the following day

Wow, good shot. Which part of the track was it?

Jean de Pourtales testing out the sand pit.  ;D  Looks like one of the chicanes on the Hunaudieres.

There's another one at Endurance-Info showing Norbert as he passes the Charouz Lola at the Dunlop
chicane in the early stages. I think it was Alex Yoong at the wheel. Look how clean the car still is.

Great Pics, love the detail.

Lorry and MikeH what camera and what lens did you use?

As I still have to buy a new camera

Any other advice ?

Yes I know I'm still not going to take any pictures as good as those, but I can try,

at least you will be able to see the rust on the fence and barriers in great detail!

I think MikeH is a Canon man and has the advantage of being inside the fence  ;D

Didn't manage to have a beer with you Mike, saw a lot of the back of your head in the Media Centre though!  Apparently "our bar" is still in the Spa Paddock so we're see you there no doubt!

Must have been taken during practice because our LeMansZone.de Sticker is not on the car, this was attached on Friday ;D

there are so many outstanding photos here.

here are mine from the race.

Ah, the bloody fence....for once I think that the Americans have the right idea...

Jordan's videos can be found at http://www.flyingpigracing.net/ 

They came out of the Nikon Coolpixs stills camera and I've tried converting them to .avi files to make them a bit more user friendly but the quality becomes too poor so you'll have to have them as they are unless someone can find a way of doing anything better with them as we've run out of talent and patience!   (some of the links track/burnout links seem to be broken but I'll fix at some point).

The DFH ones are from The Wedding (Part II).   I'm going to try doing a rough edit on the main video this weekend. 

what a wonderful tapteam at the bar in the first movie :D

Thought you might like that!  ;D

i think some of us acted a bit crazy though  :angel:

by the way, wasnt there a movie with me and Riert are really dancing like morons for about 2-3 mins on that phone?

There are the three clips that are up at the moment, not sure if there are any other DfH ones to go up.  I think there might be some footage on the proper video camera that James was using - I do vaguely remember making him get it from the bar to film someone dancing!  Sadly it's all a bit vague.....

I'll have a look

There's some great photos on here. Here's my humble effort.

John Boy

As we have several very good sports photog's in our group I leave the fast technical stuff to them generally. I get peed off with the amount of safety fencing around.

So I tend to try and capture the atmosphere with general sights and due to alcholic consumption I didn't do too well this year but my links are below;

Jerry

Where were you for the photo of the 3.0 csl (and mustang and corvette beside it)?

stu

It looks like the Great British Welcome at St Saturnin which I went to this year and thourougly enjoyed,

Stu,

Parked in between the two of them but facing them at St Sat, my car was the purple GT6.

(http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa64/jjkt15/LM07/LM07-2/P6150014.jpg)

BTW, did anyone see the carwash near the circuit.

(http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa64/jjkt15/LM07/LM07-2/P6130024.jpg)

APPARENTLY, for another E10, they would do it topless.  That would be great for me as mine is a convertable!!.

Jerry

I wish I had know they were there - I needed a couple of scrubbers to get all the dead bug butt off the front of my car!!!   ;D

Here's my Le Mans pics: http://gallery.drinkingforholland.com/main.php/v/LM2007/pieter/?g2_page=1 (http://gallery.drinkingforholland.com/main.php/v/LM2007/pieter/?g2_page=1)

Some interesting pictures......... :)

I have spent most of the day and have finally figured this out......In case anyone wants to see mostly a bunch of Corvette stuff.....

Anna

Great shots Anna! Really something different, I like that.

Right, finally got my a*se into gear and posted a gallery. Would have done it sooner, but I had to endure a very hot and sunny weekend in Monza. Shame that...

http://www.mdh-photography.co.uk/galleries/lemans07/album/

Brilliant pics Mike! I liked the trick shot from the Aston, you know which one I mean.

The very last one on page 3 is superb, looks like a cross between Marty Feildman and Spike Milligan.

Jerry

Er...no.

That's Brian, her husband!

6th page, bottom 3 in the middle.

Thanks Pieter!  It was the best I could do with a 4 mp point and shoot camera, stuck in the garage because of rain!  Ah well, there were worse ways to spend time.   ;)

Wow, Mike H, your pictures are f-ing amazing!  Sorry for the language.   :-\

Anna, some great photos there, but what a shame there're none of that treasure chest. :o

I am glad you posted though thanks

T'was a pleasure meeting you at the poo bar

Wow - Mike H - totally sensational images. Kinda sorts out the pro's from the smudgers. Superb.

Cheers. Obviously having a media pass helps, but it's what I do for a living, so it should be semi-good!

Mike,

Great pics mate.

Yep, agreed you can only get shots like that with a Press pass, and judging by what I have seen, I think you earnt your monies worth. Well done.

I loved the moody 'twilight' ones under the Dunlop bridge and your night shots are spectacular.

What camera/lens combo are you using?

Again, congrats on a superb portfolio.

Jerry

Team Y Ddraig Goch

Hey Mr C, you finally got them posted.

I can tell you're a 'people' person like meself.

Jerry

Great pics Peter, but where are the cars? ;) ;D

Fantastic MikeH,
If I could take just one photo my whole life as good as any one of those, I'd be happy.
Actually I'd be delighted to have any as good as Anna's too.

And I don't think I'm one of them this year because of the damn rain, but there are still some good pics, half of them in the rain and the dark (I didn't think you could take pictures in those conditions
http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i221/Lorrylemans/Le%20Mans%2007/

Some of ours from MB,and Big H,s arrival,not many cars, due to the Low flyers. ;D
http://rides.webshots.com/album/559558100oZTDPi

nice pictures brings it all back, shame no one got one of the french man getting ya foot in his nuts ;D

photos from the parties and our travels round the circuit... cars to follow... maybe...

Good fotos Brian, not many of the cars, that`s ok cause we have plenty of those from others, mostly focused on your "guests". Just like Stu says, " It`s all about friends". ;)

...more good "People" shots, R8KDJ. Cars are nice but enjoy these fotos from LeMans more.

I second that, Gab! Great shots from the party and other strange encounters.

3rd it, great pics. Nice seeing pics around Le Mans as well.

Cheers

Glad you like some of the random photos we took because when I said "photos of cars to follow... maybe" I did mean that we didn't actually get round to taking any ourselves (shame on us!).  That's why i stole a couple of the photos at the end (from sebastiaan, I think (sorry)), so at least to friends that weren't at Le Mans I can say we did see some cars!!

Usually I'd get some great shots in the pits etc but the weather (ok, and drink) really did limit the amount of time we spent actually watching that race rather than seeking shelter  8)
