The old fun fair was good value, but you really had to be in the right mood for it.

We only tried the go karts the once, the same ones are featured on the film Le Mans, thats how old they are and they did not look new then! Once your time was up they put a barrier across the track, caught out a few people.

The strippers, well what can you say, about a 100 guys crammed into the back of a lorry to see some dodgy tarts. you really had to be there, it was hot and sweaty is all I can remember! Its bizzare to think that we even thought one was better than the other. Thats the power of beer for you.

Didn't they have a freewheel system, for running down hills?

and I not talking about taking the car out of gear either!!!

I have to say that I had a fantastic several days with some fantastic people, but my best moment has to be the same as Andy Z's.

It was such a fantastic afternoon and being amongst so many people that were at Le Mans for their trip Andy and I were of course in our element, sharing tales of years gone by, other race tracks, how I stalked Johnny Herbert for years and forced his retirement, we had quite a crowd. A few of them seemed to wonder who we were, but most were more interested in who was sat with HRH Prince Michael of Kent. (I bet he didn't pay £1600 to be there either!!!)

As it got later in the day, and we consumed more Champagne in our small group of 10 people than the rest of the attendees put together, we were receiving far too much attention from people who seemed to be glaring at us as if to say "they shouldn't be in here" when Dave Richards walked straight up to us as he arrived and greeted us like best friends. The snobs hated it!!! I wouldn't be surprised if he asks Andy and I into the pits next year as we've been so lucky for him at Sebring at Le Mans. We declined a lift home in his helicopter.

For once I didn't sing Mustang Sally, but instead crooned a couple of ballads to the ensemble on the terrace as we sipped Champagne and my renditions of "You do something to me" and Lady in Red" have booked me a job at a wedding at Goodwood House later this year.

It was just such a disgrace that they ran out of Champagne at 7pm and we had to head back, but not before the trip down the pit straight. I didn't quite understand why the Security guards thought we shouldn't be there so tried to ram us into the pit wall but we all survived to tell the tale and it only took two minutes of my best French to save us from being arrested and to have the vehicle keys returned.

Couldnt you try phoning one of the numbers on the phone...say the most recently used one?

They might also have an ICE number listed... for emergencies.

Did the casual fleecy top have 'Weena' written on it? I guess not 

The JLOC car did not turn many laps at Le Mans so this is quite a rare shot....

I'm still exhausted!  3 days into recovery and I'm still falling asleep at my desk.  It's all very unusual for me.

A few people have mentioned Leigh...  I'd hope it wasn't any of the JPC team, and if it was would hope they'd own up considering the way we helped out last year.  Believe me when I say, it was tough enough for us to get the funds together to get to Le Mans this year let alone cover repair costs/insurance excess of £100's 

I checked with Leigh the second I saw the message and he has assured me he only threw eggs at you!
