Just got in at 230am, just wanted to check everyone else got in ok....

A french learner driver spanked my right front wing by pulling out at me on a roundabout in Rouen on Wednesday, so if you saw a green MG with a pistonheads stickers on a bust offside wing during the weekend - that was me Managed to avoid a full on broadside and glanced her down the side so hopefully won't be too pricey to repair...

Otherwise we had a pretty good trip.

Did anyone catch what the car was that had a coming together with a white van on the drag up to the ferry about 3 or 4pm this afternoon? Was it a PH'er? It was blue, 03 registration and went over the barriers down the very steep embankment. The recovery truxks were about to lift it out when we went past... The front panel was left on the verge and seemed to be one piece moulded plastic - possibly an Ultima??

Hope everyone got out ok.....

Otherwise, hope everyone had a good time etc...

I saw the green MG with the dent. Think I saw you arrive, possibly with another car. - Noticed the red paint as well. We were on Karting Nord.

Saw him pulling into Parking Blanc with a tidy bird and a well pished off expression

I spoke to the chap who owned the Orange lambo and he did it early last week at Santa Pod!.. He wasn't too bothered either!

Your cav was superb. Nothing special on its own, yet in a crowd of Ferraris/ Lambos/ Porsches/ TVR's it still seemed to be one of the most distinctive cars out there. Nice one for bringing it, spotted you all over the place - we were usually travelling the other way though and didnt get the chance to say hi.

I think I saw Buffalos MG at arnage on saturday too but it was the start of the race and I was in a hurry to see a few thousand bhp sliding round arnage spitting flames as they slowed down for it. Didnt see the orange Murcielago - only saw a light blue one with its numberplate being taken off??? was A 13UTE and I think he was trying to get out of trouble?!!

Cheers! We got about a fair bit during the weekend as we tried to get photos at as many places as possible and we went to all the practices etc - we still missed the bentley spinning in front of us during thursdays night practice though! DOH!

Had me in stitches the amount of times people would be in a group having a chat and then Gareth would drive past in the beige beast. People would just stop mid sentence and stare, racking their brains trying to work out what this monstrosity was!

Got a few unnecessary remarks, but most people were quite chuffed at seeing it and so that more than made up for it....
