Despite the rain I had a good time. It was a nice bunch of people together. I think we all had a great time, would definitely try for next year again (maybe some scaffolding to hide under  ) I hope Robspot, Dark Warrior and Bobblehat got through the Sunday okay  When will the night time video be launched? Thanks to Rick for the DVD, I'll watch it tonight. We Dutch did our duty, here's the flag on the Grandstand>>  Fran and Bobblehat practised some Air Guitar, to warm up a little. |

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

1) A wheel fell off the Saleen, but they put another one on
2) Racing for Holland got rear ended (oohh err Mrs!)
... but not necessarily in that order.
3) The safety car made 5 stops for refuelling and new tyres.
I think thats about it.

Re: Air guitar pics I cant help thinking that you would get a better tune outta my air guitar than Bobble's on that second pic (unless of course he had gone on to play air drums at that point in the proceedings!). Note also how much shorter Bill Wyman wears his guitar strap in the first demonstration pic .... |

I still think Bobblehat dislocated his shoulder on the Pete Townshend windmill demonstration.

I think they actually won, didn't they. At least they were leading for the best part of the race. |

Judging by Paddy's pictures and descriptions of the race so far I'm sort of half glad I couldn't make it on the Saturday - Silverstone can be really sh*t in poor weather.
Top marks to Paddy for the DFH flag in the grandstand though. How thoughtful of all those in the grandstand to move up to the coverered area to make way for it, or was the rain REALLY bad?
And what exactly happened to Rick C's finger that necessitated a hospital visit?

Yes, but we made light of the weather, had plenty to drink and had a bloody good time. The live band in the Paddock Bar were pretty good too.

We had an extra sausage on the BBQ  |

They were thinking of actually stopping the race after 20:30 or something. All team managers were called in by the clerk of the course for a discussion. By then the sky cleared a bit. So the race was continued. Allan McNish was intervied and said It was totally unacceptable, you could not see a thing. The Pescarolo spun on the straight. I was shocked, I have never been put in so much danger in my life. (DSC). During the heavier showers Martin Short asked the clerk to bring out the SC because at some parts of the track there was standing water and Joao was cruising at not more then 20 mph.  |

Serrated knife hidden in box, rummaging through box whilst looking elsewhere, need I say more. He reckons he almost cut half his finger off. Damn sight better than cutting your hole finger off I say;D |
