Ken, I will look into this. I got over 20 requests so I have a list and work my way through. Step by step, dead busy at the moment 
Start of the 6 hrs, seen from the grand stand.
Quite a pack of cars!

Exactly so!Green Frogeye: unfortunately not . . . I saw your park and felt sorry: such a fine car, I love Froggies.
FYI: after 15 mins and so 3 or 4 laps I was too wet to continue and had to make my retreat . . . Requests are fine, but you'll be on a 20+ request list.
A fantastic 61st finish for Dominic Spicers fine 2.2 TR4 Triumph:
I watched the 5th hour from the pit and saw Dominic jump in the car - footage soon - replacing a fantastic driving Cheng. He returned after just 3 laps: showers of rain and passing Xenon lights were a bit too much. Dickson jumped in and finished business together with Cheng. Superb job done here guys, congrats!
Watched this fine running early Triumph race at the superfast Zandvoort track this spring: I recognised a fine endurance machine. Wonderfull effort in its 6 Hours maiden voyage. Very nice 3:13 secs quickest laptime.

What a dork indeed. I was about to loose my temper on him: talking to me if I was his little kid, what was he thinking! C'mon and take responsibillities for your business man! He had to take action when we came in and not when we checked out . . . if there was a reason. IMO the only reason was him not organising his own full house. That's not our thingy . . . Good for you and me not to set foot in that place ever again.
Thanks to the circumstances - leaving and not want to miss one rev, two mates - I kept my cool and paid our bill. Things like this make me flip and turn like a leave: from mr nice guy to mobster with a torture habit.
Anyways: on with the show!
Melse Porsche on fridays qualifying: sideways business as usual.
The little Lotus Elans are so the agile . . . and quick! As this P20 3:06 cracker of a now hardtopped convertible shows.
A superb 55th final for this Mini Cooper. I find it hard to believe to do a proper endurance in these little cars . . . but then when you're on a budget and like to have fun and come in midfield I guess it makes sense.
I'm currently doing an article about the DP214. Will post soon.
Big Yank saloons always put up a fair show. This Ford Falcon was a bit unlucky in the 6 hours race and managed a 98th final after just 60 mins of racing.
Belgium Shelby 350GT entry got to 65th. I'll ask Jos what happend.
Lovely 904 Porsche did a best 3:17 . . . Mmmmmh.

Spa6 2010 was wet, very wet.
The amount of Yank saloons present at Spa are increasing. They seem reliable, relatively simple and cheap, go quick (289 V8s pump out 400 brake plus) and look cool. Nice spacious office looks a plus to me.
Wet and slippery.
Gorgeous Porsche lurking.
Funny wheel arches on this Cobra . . . but then: it is chassis CSX 2142, one of the most important Cobras ever to make its way onto a racetrack. It was one of two AC Cobra Roadsters to be entered by the factory at the 1963 Le Mans race. Ding dong!

Christopher Stahls old Corvette:
Cool Hart / Hall / Pastorelli C2 Roadster: big block heaven and in my dream garage. Quick 2:55s laps and came in 7th.
My favourite Pork weapon came in 31st. Always good for a nice 'in my face' shot.
I did not found this Bizarinni Strada on the list . . . is it me?
Italian uber-yum. Not as quick and hefty on the soundbyte as Rogers car.
Superb 4th for this DB4GT. Is that a wheel coming off? Dent . . .

Gorgeous Young DB4 came in 30th.
Eat that, Mr Bond!
Wooden frame, solid iron Volvo 1.8: 15th for this rainmaster. Amazingly driven car and a big bow to the team.
69th was a bit dissapointing for Marc Devis and the ducttaped Cobra. Fridaynights hard work to get the car ready for the 6 Hrs.
And we have a winner! Solid 2:55 laptimes for this E-type. Second best Clark E did 2:57s.
