Anyone who has had the pleasure of following my wedge will know about the legendary pyrotechnic display on over-run.

Blasting down and back this year, our little gaggle whitnessed a full 20seconds of flames as I approached a toll, and decellerated from 140 to 0 to pay the little frenchman his 1euro.

Incidently, anyone following us down the Mullsane and then onto Indianappolis would also have whitnessed the wedge on full afterburners on Friday morning / afternoon.

You must have stopped about 4 times for fuel just
on the journey down to Le Mans - if the flames are that bad !

Actually no. Filled up in Le-Harve, made it to the campsite on one tank (40 litres).. did the same return, filled up in Arnarge, made it to the Ferry terminal (did manage to loose all power on a long right hander though comming into Le-Harve @ 140.. needle was on 1/4 then it fell away to 0 ... 30 seconds later lost all power, until the road straightened out and she managed to pick up fuel again.
