Default back from lemans

got back yesterday night. was an awesome trip.

very surreal seeing such machinery on a camp site, porkers and elises everywhere.

3 good spots: porsche 959, merc slr, carrera GT

campsite was top (houx annexe), we made lots of noise, drank lots of beers, you should have seen the mountain

saw very few fords.

one pitch with xr2i, rs2000

saw about 7 rs foci fly past on the way back.

saw a blue escos with gold wheels in bp petrol mon afternoon

and a group of fords attending to a sick focus on the way home.

there was an escos and a pop in the houx annexe campsite but i didnt go say hello as didnt see anyoine there

definately going back next year, bigger badder and louder

Awesome trip wasn't it!
The blue cos was me - I saw alfa esc.cos (or a user name similar to that) at Arnarge on friday in his black escos (nice to meet you chap ) and there was an imp blue escos on my campsite (rouge) on white mo's....

I'm defo going back next year!

I've never seen so many aston's in my life - they all seemed to be either vanquish's or vantage's - some people have far too much money

I was there this year for third year & as always & fantastic time away, I was in Le houx campsite but not in the turbo, May take it next year though.

Love the whole atmosphere of the place from the drinking sessions to the racing & found a great spot which will be watching the racing from next year.

Saw very few cossies, no turbos, but as said loads of Astons. Best spot for me was a Ferrari Enzo.

Can't wait for next year

The only downside to this year was on the Sunday night there was a car accident outside our campsite between which looked to be an old porsche (english person) & citroen picasso (french person). The French person was obviously in shock but out of the car ok the people in the Porsche seemed a lot worse off, as both had to be pulled out the car on stretcher boards. Both seemed concious and moving so fingers crossed not too much injury.

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for both of them.

Had great time, will definately be going next year. Was nice because you could watch the start, bugger of and do what ever, watch the middle go out for the night eat and drink then wake up the next day and watch the finish with a hangover. My highlight was on of the guys who came with us had a dodge SRT-10 (viper) mental bit of kit and it sounded the bollocks. Also on the way back a welsh guy we were with maxing out his SL55 merc
