The highlight for me was watching the nutters between Houx and Tertre Rouge on Friday night...any other PHers there?

The images of the 550 Maranello going sideways, a bloke on a Minimoto with his knee down, and the naked loony falling of his go-ped flat out onto his bare arse all happening simultaneously on the one roundabout will stick with me for years!

Could be either blagging way into pits on Thursday during qualifying or the Bently doing the burnout between Bleu and MaisonBlanche or the French car leaving the pub on Friday night, doing a wheelspin and immedeatly getting pulled by the police

There were loads of them....

1. Bennno running down the road after the Bread, water and ice van, opening the back doors and completely soaking them with water...
2. Mel dispatching an icebox full of water into a car load of blokes....
3. Mel and Bennno soaking some loon with the supersoakers was funny until the nutter ran rampage through the campsite wrecking tents and screaming that he was on medication....it turned out he just wanted a cuddle with Rudegirl...."I want her" he screamed...
4.Me, Mel,Rodders, Psychobert and Shnozz rotten drunk behind in the pits village ripping it out of everyone and chasing the sexy girls....
5. The four blokes in the black BMW that shouted and cheered at Mel when the Gendarmes had pulled him over.....seeing them pulled in themselves for speeding 5 miles further down the road was the funniest sight of the weekend, particularly for Mel!!!
6. And finally the geezer on the ferry who couldn't find his GT3 and was wandering around in a daze shouting " Where's my f***ing Porsche?"

Brilliant weekend!! Still buzzing today....

Arnage on Saturday night. Some lit the largest firework I have ever seen in the middle of the road. It fell over and, in a huge cloud of smoke, fired about a dozen rockets straight into the crowd. We all dived for cover looking like news footage from Jerusalem. Once the fireworks had stopped, rather than a deathly hush descending on the crowd, everyone started jumping up and down cheering. A few burnt clothes, traumatised children and very unimpressed old French blokes but bloody funny.

The antics Friday afternoon outside parking bleu:

ie every car being stopped and forced to do weelspins including:

A Moggy minor van, a VW Combo and plethero of crap japanese and french cars driven by locals.

A mooning competition between various UK and German men in camping Beaujournais resulting in a line for 100 Uk blokes showing their bare a*ses to the world!.

Unlimited firework competitions going through the night until 5.30.

A guy putting petrol in his giant soaker to create a flame thrower!

Swimming gala in the fountain after the parade!

Too many more too mention, funniest weekend for a long time.

no, not me mate... did see the cossie pick up around though...

i have a mk 1 cavalier (as has been said hundreds of times on this forum), tbh i wasn't doing a ton as i passed the TVR becase i had hit the brakes as he pulled away from the side of the road failing to appreciate my closing speed...

Funny moment during the pre-start build up when the No 87 Porsche driver started chucking T-shirts into the crowd the twats chucked him one of theirs, which he put on, then they chucked him some stickers which he put on the rear wing

I think you might find that it was actually white spirit ... err wasn't it Mel

My highlight of the weekend was learning to fire-eat and spit fire, except that I was burping white spirit for the whole of the next day. Yes Mel I know you said don't swallow but I couldn't help it

DontLIFT projectile Barfing in the middle of the town was quite funny, boy he must have a strong gut to throw it that far... and for so long....



Sat with feet in the fountain early on friday, watching the local drug dealers with the kids pram full of ganja and baby.



Going out in cherbourg on monday night for a nice french meal and a relaxing drink and ending up totaly w*nkered at 4am and a kebab after finding the french version of a lockin... ( pops had to drive my car home)

Quotes, mmm you probably had to be there but these were quite funny at the time


"So is that 5 mega pixels then "

and

" There is bound to be hookers in cherbourg" (there are)



Edited to add another funny moment...


After we abandoned the bus/sauna on the way to the drivers parade, we started walking into town... Dont Lift ( its that man again ) decided he needed a pee so disappeared into the hedge, followed by a howl and the sound of things snapping. The hedge hid a slippery wooded bank that he fell down, the snapping was tree branches as he went... good job it wasnt a leg as he is a heavy bugger!!!!!!

Hence the ripped and green stained rob Barf T-shirt in later spotteds

Would that be this Fezzer


The bloke who fell of his go ped looked in shear pain later his arse cheeks were red raw, also the bloke on the minimoto was a loon but nearely got run over enough times when he kept doing 360's.

The Citreon Megane and the old mk 2( i think) red escort put most exotica to shame.

edited to add the bloke on the moped who ha d brought it for 60 notes then at the end of thrashing it about run it against a boulder on the roudabout until the exhaust was bright red and about to explode then it died and the thunderbirds took it away
