Had a great time and a lot of laughs....

Most people going to france take the tunnel or ferry from the UK but


One member who not many people have met yet got all the way to the ferry terminal to find his ferry not at the dock.... Strange he thought??? it turnrd out it was in the french port.... NO NO not delayed BUT!!!! He booked his tickets the wrong way round.... From france to the UK and a return LOL!!!!!!!!


Well done Mate..... Glad you got there in the end....

Pics still being sorted...

had a fab time at LM and a good laff with the gang, decent weather and a few fast cars cool

we did a tour zig zagging across France after the race and got back last night, which included a visit to the US WW2 Cemetry at Omaha Beach, that was amazing ! well worth a visit if a little shocking to imagine what they went through.
10,000+ graves, its very well sorted and maintained

I paid a visit to Omaha Cemetry a few years ago, it's a very moving place and whilst I don't agree with war it's important that people remember the sacrifice these young (many in their teens)made for OUR freedom. I have to confess it moved me to tears at the sight of row un upon row of white crosses as far as the eye can see and to think most of the lads never had a chance to live life they way we do, makes you think.....and makes anyone who visits very greatfull for the legacy they died for.

A big thank you to Andrew and Jenny, for sorting out the Campsite and tickets thumbup Was very nice to see you all again smile

Here's a few pics. sorry about the quality of the shots, (there off my old mobile phone) My new dual camera I took down to Le mans I found to my dismay the SD card was full (due to my son banghead followed by having a flat battery and yep, I had left the charger at home frown, banghead

Some bloke in a Corvette pulled up behind me on the ferry!


So tent up, parked the car in the garage and put the kettle on biggrin


Yes, it all fitted in the Viper smile


Spot the Crew!






Some of the cars which had dropped out of the race frown


The winning cars entering Parc Fermie


Found a little chateau to kip in Sunday evening biggrin
