What a fantastic time

1st time of going this year and definately going again next year.

So much alcohol consumed that don't really remember much of the race but the cars are awesome and so loud.

And such a wicked mix and match of cars on the campsites and round and about the track.

I'll post some piccys up later when I can work out how to download them.

Nah unfortunately didn't see you there. that's not the sort of thing you miss. was in the maison blanche section so not sure if I was anywhere near you or not.

Some quality pics there.

The police car was mentioned on Le Man radio

Got a standing ovasion everywhere it went, even the police thought it was really funny as we drove along with the lights and sirens on

I was down the bottom end of the circuit, not exactly sure what it was called though.

That's cool. I should imagine a great cheer went up when it was mentioned on the radio

That's surprising about the Police. We was standing on one of the roads on the Friday night as a few people were doing a couple of burnouts and just generally having a bit of a cruise by and instead of trying to get rid of everyone nicely the fookers decided to spray everyone with pepper spray which a few of us managed to get in the face.

Was you nearer the Porsche curves or nearer the other end just before the massive long straight.

managed to get on some parts of the circuit on a bit of a bike ride and got a picture of us on the start finish bit which was quite a rarity as I don't think they normally let people anywhere near there before the race. Ol' silly bollox here decided to try & pull a wheelie round one of the parts of the circuit and almost stacked it. Oh well at least I can say I almost lost it on one wheel on the Le Mans circuit PMSL

Didnt see any trouble while we were there, apart from some pissed french bloke trying to cause trouble and when my mate threatened to flatten him he said i know what you drive and if you touch me your car will get fucked...

Bit of a shame it came to that, but a great time was had by all anyway.

If you walk down the porsche curves away from the start line we were down that end. Saw lots of glowing brake discs

Spent most of the time drinking though, so didnt watch a huge amount of the race but next year i am going to make more of an effort to watch it.

That's a bit harsh, there's no need for that at all

I think I know roughly where abouts that was but had the same thing was drinking far too much a didn't really see what was going on.

Went for a walk at night while the race was on while pi$$ed and got through a film of 36 exposures in about 20 seconds. I was like a tourist on speed. Haven't got a clue if any of them will come out.

What a touch, always good being in the right place at the right time.

We didn't see the podium at the end but would like to have gone round there.

But yeah can't wait for next year. Hopefully there's going to be a few more of us & we can make the beer tower a little higher.
