Souvenirs

[Balmoral Green]

Me and Tom managed to find a nice pair of coffee tables to help remember our trip, did anyone else pick up some top souvenirs?

Got a pocket full of gravel from the gravel trap next to the pit lane entry.

How much do you reckon I will get on ebay for that?

i got some sort of cap type thing made from carbon fibre, find it by the pit lane exit. tried taking a deviation board off the tyre wall at the end of the mulsanne but it was riveted on, nearly broke my fingers trying to get it off.

Tom was given these by the Kumho guys, they were giving all the used ones away. They came off the Courage.

We also have an identical tyre now installed in my sons bedroom.

Got some small tyre marbles from the track on Sunday.

Also a small fragment of the underside of the Spyker that crashed out at the Porsche Curves on Saturday evening and a section of crash matting he took out.

"Arnage" sign in 2002.

Nothing this year. (The "Arnage" sign was already gone...)

Does a kingsize hangover from the Champagne Bar count??

Should have known that any conversation with Balamoral Green that contains the phrase "lets meet at the champage bar at 11" would lead to a aspirin moment the next day

It was great to see you Woz and nice to meet Minimax & Chassis 33.

Bloody great to see you again mate, and reminise about our Daewoo days when it was at its peak (mainly down to superstars like ourselves, in all modesty! 5% TIV? lets 'ave it! 1300 units a year in Northants FFS, and now, how many Chevys? about half a dozen! What a bunch of losers) Glad that we have both moved on though, to better things.

I got a tyre from one of the RML Saleens a few years ago (from Dunlop - didn't leave it propped on bricks or anything ). And also a full set of marshal's flags that were left unattended after the race.

Was tempted to have away with this, but thought I'd better not...

i got syphilis the year before last !

[Bomber Denton]

I've got one of the 'raced on' Dunlop Tyres from TVR T400R Synergy car 96 in me shed!

Does the giant Champagne bottle from the Champagne Tent count?

[Spydaman]

Got a few souvenirs in the past like posters off the lamp posts, about 50 feet of bunting from the fences at the Classic last year, a jubilee clip and a piece of carbon fibre off the pit lane, a Le Mans place mat from the Tertre Rouge. The best 'nearly got' was the steering wheel off a crashed MG when they were unloading off the back of a low-loader. The mechanic was looking for somehwere to put it and I offered to hold it for him. He nearly gave it to me too!

A 'Roasting' in the premiership footballer way? Bloody hell! That's a hard price to pay for some used tyres.

Holy thread ressurection!
