Did see you and several others doing burnouts on what was left of the mud track they called a road on BSJ campsite. I,m sure that a lot of people would like to thank you for making a crap road even worse ! soapbox

Haha you guys were legends. We came and chatted to you on the Thursday I think while you were challenging people to burnout in the "Official Le Mans Burnout Area". I couldn't beleive the sound coming out of the LDV while you were revving it! I drive them every day anyway, it's a pity they didn't come from the factory like that.

'Wehey....like it!'

Yep, I say you just off the Houz Annexe roundabout in Friday afternoon - I was rather amused when you brought out your own soap powder to aid the wheelspinning - It smelt quite nice as you went past!
Sounded awesome - can't beat a V8, whatever the vehicle!!

Top job boys thumbup

I saw it, I got an 'Oi Nick, do a burn out' or something along those lines.

I couldn't work out where the V8 noise was coming from, it was only on the 2nd day I realised it was the General LDV hehe

We were 50yds away from you in BSJ. I have to say I enjoyed the sound of your V8 even if you *did* fire it up about every 10 minutes on Thursday night! Of more questionable taste was your leopardskin interior... I think the Danes across the way were looking for a bit of disco action with you lads, LOL.

Out of interest, is your LDV one of the rare original V8 ones, or a conversion? We were wondering all weekend.

Great van smile

Didn't see you this year but camped near you in Bleu last year.

Think you had my fav vehicle last year, still have the pic I took on late Sunday or Monday.

Top job.

saw you multiple times - we were further down in BSJ. Cracking job, one of the funniest things we saw. Did you do it for Le Mans?

We should have our A-Team van back there next year. It was absent this time because it caught fire the evening before it was due to drive to the ferry!

Had a grin at General LDV several times - good work lads.

You do need a Daisy Duke though :-)
