P2002 - Reporting Back
Sun, speed, beer and banter - a superb weekend in France for PistonHeads
Discussion
In no particular order, thanks to :
Martvr for the ride in his Chimaera 400
Ted for the rides in the PH mobile
Leadfoot for the ride in his Griffith 500
Suggs for the ride in his Tuscan
and Buster for the ride in his...err...noisy decatted Cerbera
Special Thanks to Ted for the slide in the corner down the straight, that was great
A sad thought for the light blue Tuscan...I hope there's nothing serious with it
Also thank you for the show to the Elise owner who apparently wanted to experience the roadholding of his car in the gravel
No thanks at all to Flasher who didn't come
; as Martvr told me: "now it's only a Tamora you haven't been in!" A big hello to everyone I spoke to and to the others; next time I'll try to convince myself to take my silver dishwasher on the track.
Thanks to those who gave me the privilege of riding in their Loti. Perhaps the only car that would tempt me away from TVR.
What handling! Alex (Elise 111S) was braking fifty yards deeper into corners than I ever could and hurling it round like a kart. Bit gutless though Alex

Nobody explained how to get the grin off your face afterwards, mind 4 new tyres today helped a bit .
What a bunch of people to spend a weekend with, going to be hard to follow that, many thanks Mike and Dave. Good to see you making the most of your apprenticeship in TVRdom before heading for the factory Thom.

My grin's still stuck on! Have to go get in the car now...
Welcome home everybody!!!!
What a fantastic weekend, DID wipe the grin off my face - but somehow it seemed to grow back in the bar on Saturday night !!
Thanks especially to Dave, Mike, John, Mark for tools, trailers, advice, and to everybody for cheerful support!!
Beast made it home, and goes to hospital today - think it might be a while.

Ted & Mike thanks for a great day. I did almost 200 miles on the track! Glad you enjoyed your rides Thom - you were certainly making some exited noises. Now get that 944 on the track, I reckon it'll be more than up to the job.
Did the guys with the broken Sylva get home ok?
Unfortunately I've had to cut my hols short & come back home as I'm sick as a dog

Memorable moments for me over the weekend... other than the track day.
The mad blast down to Arras Friday (how fast)
and 
Holding my mobile phone out so my son could hear Busters Cerby fly around the track 
The convoy Sunday through the small French towns with all the locals waving.
Memorable for the wrong reasons, careering sideways through the vegetation in Andys BEAST
"thanks for that Andy"
And who was it that got locked out of his hotel room with no clothes on ?
What a weekend:
