nice to see the vette drivers coming over for a photo shoot with you guys.



Should get the pics back today! Got one of Johnny O'Connell in my car, he is such a nice guy, I first met him at Road Atlanta for Petit Le Mans in 2002 and he is a "top geezer"



I was the one wondering around with the video camera..

How was the pool John?
On ITV's coverage they had a quick bit showing the campsites and there was a 5 second shot of a guy on a minimoto riding into a pool like you said you were taking, not you was it

To be honest ITV wasn't that bad, their Start/Finish coverage clashed with EuroSport but was handy for when they cut to an ad break, and they had a bit of coverage late Saturday night/early Sunday morning after F1 qualifying
All the TV coverage had us shouting at the idiot box as no one gave comprehensive rundowns of positions, if you weren't running in the 1st 5 in class you didn't exist
And ITV were the only people who had a small TVR/Morgan slot on their Finish time show

I had a few of them too Mel, mostly 'nice photo' comments!



One of them was from me Corin, as you were going towards Indy corner I think.
I was standing next to my silver Land Rover opposite some PHers and was going to say hi but the exotica going by distracted me somewhat! Sorry whoever you were sitting next to the wine coloured Evo 11.


PS. We also saw Ian D. On the motorway going home on Monday. My mate commented on the old Bentley with the PH sticker on the back bumper.

hi. saw a lot of PH stickers on the back & side of cars as they zipped passed my stately 65mph.

that is serious articulation and travel on the suspension of the 90, "gone too far"?

I'm not certain I like the re-spelling of my name! But nice to say hello to you seeing as the last time we met was on the way to BT&P.

I also met up with flash, mel , shnozz, claire , psychobert who I already know anyway... oh yeah rudegirl who dissapeared as quick as she appeared, s2000 who got pulled by the plod, C3RYN (corin denton?)

Met the chap who made all the Pistonheads T-shirts (N138 clothing) and was seemingly stood next to nacnud and snorky at the gates waiting to get on the circuit at the end (sorry to hear about the purse)

We had a well shmart time this year

No mate, Nigel from Gon 2 Far makes mega articulation springs for the leafers. The 90 uses coils, 3 link front end and kinked radius arms.

Sorry for hijacking!

Besides the 10 or so PH regulars in our group, I also met John Yates, Shnozz, Mel, Flasher, Pikey, Rude Girl, Hansgerd and some others. The trouble is I was Head Chef for our site and didnt get out much.......and when I did I couldn't focus properly.

Got some 'interesting' pics with my phone - C3 GTK in particular, learnt to his detrement, the true meaning of 'Bluetooth'!

Best Le Mans for me yet - great to catch up with you guys, new and old......

Same time next year.........?!

Spotted your car by your plate Wednesday pm heading towards the track.

I was in the Blue Cerbera heading away that flashed you.
