Yep,

We were on our way to Le-Mans, Got back this morning and feel absolutely shattered. The Flags were spot on though, tested to 160MPH and there were still intact.

Marvellous!!!

Saw your Gallardo (and flags!) at Le Shuttle, though only spotted it as we left (blue Cerb, scruffy with our sprint number backing plates on for the midland speed champ/ fibreglass repaired front wing!)

Saw Simonspider too Simon: We followed you in the above TVR from Cite Europe or whatever it is to the entrance of LS, though we had the sense to avoid getting in the wrong lane!

Loved the sound!! I came over and said hi later on in the carpark as you got out (young scruffy b'stard in the TVR hat) sorry to be quiet, was in awe of the Murci. Strangely enough, I recognised the other one you told us about too... It's one that we compete against in the brighton speed trials, where he beat us by 0.1 of a second, though we had a problem with a lower rev limit.

Both cars together looked fantastic, was nice to meet you finally having been to a couple of Vmaxxes but only ever seeing your car parked up with no one around or mid run!

andy as i spent all of le mans plugged deep into your passenger seat i would say you did a hell of a lot of hooning around (as you put it) I am sure you have a lead boot on your right foot. the only time it was driven properly was when i was driving!!!!

AMsteve got that seat by kicking me out so had to ride shotgun in 924 done out in the st Georges flag with no sound proofing and bucket seats, not quite as good as the lambo but got us there and back. I think we got more attention in the 924 going through the French towns than Andy did, the look on the French locals was priceless. Yep can confirm some how those flags stayed on at 160. Did see AMsteve have a drive of the Lambo the chavey git
