Camel_Landy Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I couldn't keep up on the way back, untill they started running out of fuel. Ahhh yes.... Have you every tried finding a petrol station open in France after 20.00?? There were a couple of occasions where I though I was going to be walking the rest of the way to Le-Mans. In Evereux I had to wait at one of those 24hr fuel pumps (where it didn't like my UK Visa card) until a local turned up so I could get him to fill my Westie in exchange for cash! Mark.

Karl Woolf Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 excellent weekend, absolutley fantastic time, burnouts at the Arnage were quality wonder if it was the same copper that had a quiet word with Buzz for his controlled slide/turn at a fuel stop To repeat what Andy says, thanks to Mike for organising and Scoob and Lisa for Navigating It`ll be a while before the grin settles off my face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Do I detect a little camera shake there Blatman? Yeah. It's not easy running down the stairs in the tribunes, trying to fend off all comers to get to the front. I thought I did quite well.......

Enterpryse Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I hadn't realised my car had been spotted Mr Stanton Looks good even under canvas (don't say better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 I hadn't realised my car had been spotted Mr Stanton Be very careful who you speak to at Le Mans especially those wearing similar baseball caps Good job you'd paid your subs - else Mr Garratt could have got nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Billsberry Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Well what can I say my 1st time at Le-Mans and it has been the best experience since I did a rugby tour to Avimore in 1993.This trip was freaking mental! But first and foremost is a big, big thank you to Mike Dixon for his organisation and meticulous planning. As for the campsite: it was fantastic. Complete with a Chateau swimming pool, electricity, bar, showers,very clean and live entertainment...superb! Another thanks goes to Scooby and 'me Julie' for their navigation exploits and getting us to the camp site despite the 2 hour monsoon we drove thro'. Kin’ ell it was wet!! I think Scooby scoffed his way thro' France... boy that man can trough!! Big thanks to the Le-Mans 5 Bananaman, NeilB, KarlW, Turbo Tommo and of course Flying Bill. That man can tell funny story... he had us in stitches for most of the weekend with his rallying tales. 10 out of 10 to Karl who confesses to not being a big drinker but batted it out every night until the bar shut (even out lasting Tommo)!! ...he was a broken man I've never seen a bloke fall with such grace or bounce of walls with so much style On the out bound trip on the ferry I can honestly say I've never seen a human being negotiate a corridor in that manor before. I wish I'd had my camcorder. IT WAS priceless!! Apologies for my expoits racing the ferrari boys. I think I got myself a bit of a rep on the way back.! But I think the tunnel racing was the best and u all know what I'm talking about.... you naughty boys....boy that was fun!!! Great fun, great people, great food and I did take the Stenna Stella Challenge by a country mile followed by the heavy weight drinking cruiser Bananaman.The dark horse of any bar..... It was the best stag weekend I've been on without anyone actually getting married!! AT least next year week can go for a full week...ya'all ready for that Karl!! And to end I will be selling my 3 layer nomex racing underpants as used on the Le-Man tour.Shades optional Buzz PS I have a few pickys to put on the site but the file sizes are 2 big any help reducing would be appriciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
