Congrats to the vettes

As I watched the Ron Fellows car spin into the barrier and then get hit by the Pescalaro I thought it was all over, fantastic work by the Pratt & Miller crew to get the car repaired so quickly. Hope Ron has recovered from the resulting concussion.
I cant get over how quickly the two Audis were repaired and back racing, the McNish car was to all intents scrap after the accident in the Porsche curves, just amazing!!

Glad to say I was there to see them Win, and I bought the Hat and Polo Shirt to prove it. Great to see when they where close, the Fessers could not pull away. So the Vette's are as fast if not faster, and round the twisty's they where MIGHTY, Prodrive Slowdrive..... Bring on the C6.........
Fantastic trip to Le Mans and a great win for the Vettes after being several laps behind at one point.
C6 looks good in the flesh although seeing it parked with other Vettes it's less radical, particularly the front.
Corvette had a huge presence at Le Mans although very clearly targeting at a US audience on TV.
Among the 911s etc there were many great cars for petrolheads to get excited about. Couple of Enzos, Invicta, Spyker, latest TVRs .... the list goes on! And we overtook them all on our push-bikes!

Top weekend and what a fantastic result!
Congratulations also to the TVR team and the Morgan team for both getting there cars to the end.
Seeing one of the TVRs limp past on about the 2nd lap we didn't think it would make it to the end of the race.
The Corvettes were just awesome and the way the Pratt & Miller guys kept turning the Corvettes around in the pits must have been soul destroying for the Prodrive team. Corvettes picked up about 5 seconds a pit stop on the Ferraris.
Had a lot of fun (and drink) and thanks to all for the great company. Can't wait for 2005.......

I heard that our beloved vettes are going to be in serious trouble next year... due to the success of American cars in this year's Le Mans, Hummer have decided to field a team. Rather than going for speed they're just going to ram everyone else in an attempt to be last man standing :-)

What a great weekend. Good racing, good weather, lots of nice cars and, best of all, great company.... and just to top it all the 1, 2 finish at the end 
looking forwards to the German trip now.
BTW I spotted the purple ZR1 on the way down when a group of us pulled over because of Dave's broken screen. I think it was just pushing warp 5 as it went past - sounded good

I have to say that I was very impressed with the Corvettes at Le Mans...probably had the best sounding cars there and looked incredibily quick...well done.
The battle between them and the two Pro Drive Ferrari's was fantastic and could have watched them all day long...At one point I think a Corvette and a 550 were 5th and 6th overall, amazing!!
There was a big Corvette presence there on and off the track, you Americans trying to say something???

"Us Americans" are British! We just like Corvettes, BTW nice Ferrari "you Italian"

BTW, I wasn't pointing to the British owners, more towards the Americans pumping sh!t loads of cash into this event to make a statement!!...Basically the norm them
