A week ago already!

We had arrived at the hotel, realised the couple of beers we were going to have before unloading the car had turned into a few.

Only a year to wait again!

Good isnt it! Surprising how much wine you can fit in the boot of a Tuscan, although the 993 in our convoy managed to swallow something like 10 cases smile

We were staying at a Chateau, our 9th year there.

Having a nice few beers in the ACO village awaiting the start. Laughing at the group behind us 'bullying' the lanky idiot in front of all of us who made a better door than window...
