RE: PistonHeads Le Mans Friday Service
Discussion
A thanks from me as well. For the majority of the event I (lanky sod in a PH shirt, shorts and Tilley hat) was standing in the middle of the field having cars sent my way to forward on to a parking spot.
Everyone was very sensible and did exactly what I directed them to do.
Especially grateful to your patience when I was directing traffic out of the site. I tried to make it fair so no one had to wait very long to leave while keeping things moving.
Thanks for making it enjoyable to run
Great Friday Service! I've got some stop frame/time lapse stuff to upload later on as well.

Yep, you did a sterling job Switch, thanks.
Great meet as usual and excellent turnout. Loved the charity Volvo with ironing board spoiler. Also the short chopped green mini which I also saw had managed to get onto the track during the invasion and drove the finish line and up to Dunlop bridge. No idea how he managed that but good work!

Thanks for the kind words 
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.

"i supopose i should take it easily and quietly being a nice ph meet''
''you still have tread left though...''
''fair point''
EXITS to a plume of smoke and racket.
We couldn't allow any antics on the grass as the area was loaned to us by the ACO, outside of that if you happen to slip off the clutch abruptly we can't be held responsible
Speaking of which, a big thanks to all who behaved in the field. Hiring land during Le Mans is neither easy or cheap and part of our obligations of hire was to return the field at 16.30 in the same state as we received it (you may have seen the PH team with bin bags acting like wombles)
One or two were asked not to spin the wheels on the grass but did so anyway, I guess to look cool to their mates after being told not to. Shame really as we host the events for you at no charge and don't ask for much in return. We tidied up and handed back to the ACO as planned and hope to return in 2013 so a big thanks to the 99% of you who drove carefully once on site. Without good behaviour, venue options become limited.

We really enjoyed ourselves on Friday, it was glorious just sitting enjoying a cold beer watching beautiful cars.
Thanks for organising and a big thanks to Stuart for making us welcome at our first PH meet and taking the time to come and chat to us (we were in the MX5 T-shirts).
