Sorry lads, these photos are a little tamer but impressive none the less, myself and Serby managed to get our hands on two tyres that ran in Le Mans. They are from Synergy car 96, set 15 rear right and front left!! But it doesn't end there we lugged them over to Houx for the Champagne reception and had them signed by Michael Caine and Pete Wheeler!!!
They also came in handy to sit on whilst watching the football on the back of the TVRCC truck!
Although the haul back over to Maison Blanche a little worse for wear wasn't quite so much fun!!! But we did it, both tyres plus all the gear in the Chim and back in Blighty!



We also found Pete Wheeler asleep on top of the TVR bus about 11 am on Sunday morning with a Synergy shirt over his face!



And just to wind it up a couple of pictures of mine on Mad Friday on the Mulsanne curves!!







Thanks to everyone for a riot of a weekend!! See you next year!!!

Is that tyre worn down to the canvas?

(Neat souvenir, BTW!)

Do I sound like a true car geek, yet?
