Back home...

[rcutler]

Thanks to all we met over the week, especially DfH, JPC, SPS, Brethren, Beermountain, Team KGB, Flying B's, and everyone else that I have forgotten.

Also thanks to all who offered to help on hearing of our braking down. On return this morning the fault was traced to a worn cable to one of the glow plugs that was shorting to ground. Cable is now repaired. Sod was that while we were down in La Sarthe we thought the fault was caused by the aircon, result of which meant we had none for the drive home.

See you all at either Donnington, Sebring or in 355 days or so.

We're back, Awsome weekend, the main entertainers and faciliators know who you are - THANK YOU.
Lost my Snoring Rhino title to the boy after he disturbed half the ship on the way back!

Got home yesterday evening at around 9, dropped my things in a corner of my room and went a sleep untill 12 this morning.

My first Le Mans was my best motorracing experience by far. And that wasn't because of the racing. I just want to thank everyone for being so welcome.

A special thanks tough to the DFH-organisation, who made my trip possible, and to the other DFH-members, Team JPC, Team Impala/the Sebring Turn 10 club, The Bretheren, the Flying Baguettes, Beermountain, Team Zarse, all the other people at Club Arnage that came by and everyone I forgot that made my week one to never forget.

It really was an overwhelming experience and I think we all will be seeing eachother at Le Mans and beyond for a long long time. Thanks everyone.

Looking forward to next year already.

Safety home and clean again - now starting on the post race Leffe purchases.

Many thanks to Mr and Mrs Skorpio for fencing off a slab of Houx Annexe, Bob U and crowd for their curry night (they even had Henri Pescarollo as honoured guest), Perdu / Gary and team for shampoo, DfH / Team JPC for the outstanding Friday night bash and hi ho again to everyone at the Poo Bar.

I ran into Felix (the old bluffer) in the Stella Bar but he didn't buy me a Leffe!

[Martini...LB]

So I left LM after the race and drove to Rennes, booked into a hotel and hathe obligatory shower etc. Went to the old town and everywhere had a multitude of tv's showing the France game so wathched it and had something to eat. I then had arelatively early night and in the morning went for breakfast and then shopping in northern Rennes.

Anyway to cut a long story short thought ita good time to leave for St Malo and some more shopping... tootling along quite happily when 30 miles from LM I thought 'I am going the wrong ferkin way"! I should be going to St Malo it then took another 7-8 miles before I could turn around and trundle back another 70 miles to Rennes before going up to St Malo!!! Luckily I had plenty of time, got home at 10.15 and had a few large ones.


Come on the Classic, Sat Nav for sale anyone??

Made it back to Chester for 6am Monday after a mad dash to Dunkirk for the midnight ferry, kept awake with loads of Black Coke!!
 Big thanks to Rusty and Mark for the tickets, enjoyed MB so much that we will try to end up there next year. The firework show was ace and I must say that Beermountain were superb in the parade on Friday but could do with mixing some Castrol R in with the smoke canisters!!!

[Perdu]

Another great year, time to plan for another great year. Great to meet you all. Again in some cases, others for the first time. People make the event don't they?

Home 2130 Monday night still hearing the earbuzz from a loud Midge.

Woke this morning and felt like bedtime again.

Le Mans? Can't beat it!

Got back safe and sound in the early hours of Monday morning (packing away and then the work thing has prevented an earlier post).   A good (if hot) trip back in the MGA, which performed as reliably as ever by suffering from fuel vapour lock in traffic jams, but that only happened once approaching Rouen.   Otherwise an uneventful run back.

Awesome week as ever, and brilliant to meet up with many CA friends and meet new ones too.   Our usual haunt of Karting Nord was the quieter and culturally poorer from the Brethren's absence on MB, but that brought us across to MB for the Friday night, which brought a whole new dimension to our enjoyment of the week.   Paddy NL and the DFH team, what can I say - fantastic party, augmented by the live music and The Brethren's usual excellent pyrotechnic feast.   Many thanks.   Didn't make it to the Poo bar on Saturday night, but the choice was going there or being inside the Intersport Racing pit garage - the latter won.

Back on Hayling Island 2330 Monday night after LD Ferries thought they would save some gas on the sail home.

The LADWACACC team had a magnificent Le Mans and will be back in increasing numbers next year.

Wishy deserves the sobriquet 'God', his hospitality and that of his posse was outstanding. Thanks Andy, especially for the erection (of a tent)  before we arrived.

Further thanks to all involved in the DFH entertainment on Friday night, it was an outstanding party, by the way who's got 'that' video?

We had two exciting incidents over the weekend; the first involved being chased in some woods by some cheesed off Frenchies who didn't want us to have our own unique view of the race, all turned very 'Dad's Army' have the wounds to prove it, and Roy was attacked by bunnies in his tent on Sunday night, he had the bunnie's trainers to prove it!

Again thanks to all CAer's for making this The Event


Until we meet agin

Got back Monday night, cracking weekend topped with a great night in Roeun with a magic Vietnamese meal where the old bloke who owned it entertained with card tricks, then off to a bar with hot and cold running whores 

LM was great, village was better than i thought, at least the loos were clean and working. Charlatens were great. Wallet stolen by some scrote from my pocket, many attempted transactions on my cards starting in arnage about 2.30 am through Le Mans 3.30 and some over french town i do not know an hour later. They got about £500, recovered £300 so far and getting the remaining £200 from the bank fraud people.

Despite the theiving b*stards i had a brilliant weekend, one of the best.

[Bob U]

Back home at 5 pm Monday. Great run back, the new m/way took 1 1/2 hours off the journey.

Great to have space saved for us when we got there on Friday morning, many thanks to Steve, Bill and Skorpio, it was much appreciated.

A good night at the Poo Bar meeting faces old and new. Thanks Fran for the beer runs into the ACO bar.

Didn't get a speeding ticket or get my wallet nicked.

Same again next year?    stupid question.

[nopanic - neil]

Got home to the Wirral at 7.00am Monday, not bad as only close one when I nearly run up the back of a truck parked at the services near Oxford ( and that was after my first sleep of two).

Not saying it has taken me a while to recover, but I'm about to go out and unload the car now, or in the next hour or after another sleep!

Thanks to all,
