Have you thought of some sort of ticketing system, maybe for next year now, whereby all ink disappears from the tickets prior to their use?!

It could be the future...

Well it was a nice meet, nice cars. Nice burger... Though a couple of people serving might have speeded things up a bit.

Predictions of world war 1 no-mans land conditions were somewhat wide of the mark.

Traffic queues also = zero. (everywhere round the track)

Thank you DS, we really enjoyed it too but yes the food queue was a little slow. Good burger though and I enjoyed the chillies on the side

Lots of spectators there, ended up being quite a big deal.

Also, driving back to Bleu Nord I was ready for fun but the police had it all on lockdown so just drove through without burnout requests. Those who were worried needn't have been.

Great meet, loved it. We had our little Abarth enclave lined up, but points/prizes have to go to the gull-winged Allegro + caravan or perhaps the Granada Scorpio limo with wooden bodykit (particularly loved the skirting board side-skirts and that ply-diffuser that you shrapnelled on the way out of the field!) laugh

I'll get a few photos uploaded tonight.

Thanks for the kind words thumbup

We had a great time, and it seemed we became a local attraction as the pedestrian attendance was very high indeed.

Thanks so much for making it a success, and for being so well behaved too. A great afternoon and a real highlight of our 2012 Le Mans.
