Spa 24 Hours - useful stuff and w.w.w.w.

How much do you want to remove that awful pic' Paddy?
Home safe and sound - hopefully Piglet and KK are also, after an eventful departure; last seen in Stavelot awaiting the breakdown service but had got on their way by the afternoon.
Great weekend guys - see you in September.

[Pieter]

Blimey! That's tough luck for Piglet and KK. Glad to hear they got going again.

Happily just a loose intercooler pipe, but there was a moment when it was suspected that the Spa rats had made a bee-line for Swen-the-Saab again!  You should have seen the tunnels they'd been digging all weekend under KK's matress.  Last heard from mid-afternoon en route for the ferry.

To all the guys we met on Camping Eau Rouge (otherwise known as Camping a F*cking Long Way Away!)

Thanks for looking after us, we had a great time 

Rowena and Esther

Good seeing you girlies joining the party again!

[Piglet]

Hi all, we've just made it back.  I love my Sven the Saab dearly but that's the second time in three years he's had to be recovered from Spa!  Plus the recovery from Silverstone earlier this year - I think the breakdown insurer is going to put on a race circuit exclusion! 

Luckily a nice man from St Vith came and picked us up in his big truck- I practiced my german on him with my sister on standby on the phone to translate if I got stuck!   It was a detached inter-cooler hose and he was able to stick it back together and with no bill!! 

Nice pics....

How's the tent Pieter 

[Pieter]

It's in better shape than your car. 

[Piglet]

LOL!!

Done, termie

How's the tent Pieter 

Probably just as wet as after Donington last year. Not to worry, even in the storage bag it dries (even though it takes three months)

Pieter found a good way of stopping his tent from blowing away in the wind....

So, who won? I've got eerie deja-vu - I can remember asking the same question, about the same race this time last year. No mention of it at all in US....... 

[hgb]

1. Carsport Holland - Hezemans/Fässler/Gollin/Deletraz - Corvette C6R (you can be proud)
2. Vitaphone - Bartels/Biagi/van de Poele/Lamy - Maserati MC12
3. Peka Racing - Kumpen/Longin/Mollekens/Bouvy - Corvette C5R

[Pieter]

The Dutchies won! Team Carsport Holland took their Corvette C5R to the victory after Eric van de Poele made a huge error 1 hour before the end and went off in his Maserati. Since the battle was pretty close, the Corvette passed him and secured the win.

I have to say a big thank you to:-
Rick for getting me out there. Tink for the Chilli on Sunday eve, KK (CA's own mole catcher) and Piglet ("I think it is getting brighter over there") for the lamb, coffee and champers, bad luck about Sven.
Great to meet up again with Doris, not so long next time. Paddy the look of surprise on your face was worth the trip, ta for the beer beer beer and more beer.
Termietermite and Mr Termietermite thank for the Sumure on Friday, added nicely to the hangover on Sat. And hi to Martini and his brother (Tonic?). Rowena and Esther, happy to look after you , have you stopped giggling yet? Family Muz, who are on there way to the Nuburgring, for the use of the gazebo. Seb, your a dude and Pieter brilliant parking.

I had a really horrible time and dont recomend that anyone else goes next year 

[hgb]

It was good to finally meet up with you, Bobblehat... and of course everyone else for that matter.

We successfully managed to avoid each other for such a long time now. Good to see that tradition being broken.
