was good to drop in and wow those air fresheners are strong - they defined the smell of LM for me this year (until BBQs took over of course)

Shame we missed this, we stopped to help get a fellow pistonheaders stranded TVR Tuscan running again somewhere just before Rouen and therefore were too late getting to the stop.
If anyone knows whether Purple TVR reg FA5AS I think made it to LeMans on our overridden fan bodge, please let me know?

How are you on bodging a head gasket? That bloody E10 85 ron bio ste killed my mx5 just after Alencon. Have had to leave it there for an extended holiday. Wont forget this Le Mans for a long time!

Will you be setting this up next year? Free PH booty sounds good ans a pit stop is always nice!!
Given the success and popularity of this year, it would be rude not to! hehe Obviously it is a fair way off, but we'll be looking to do the same thing, but with some subtle tweaks to improve it and make it bigger and better.

That one might be a step too far, good luck getting it all sorted out.

word of warning on the Zuto water bottles though, they leak everywhere (whether you move the white seal or not)! Destroyed a few mags in my footwell but thankfully only water

Red with black wheel arches? Saw a poorly one, limping in to LM. Hope you get it fixed soon.
