Pics so far can be seen here.

It was a great day.

We all got a full on road block put out at the end of a dual carriadgeway by the BiB and pooped our panties. They held us all there in a line for about 15 mins, then made us all follow them for 10 mins before letting us go. Phew!!!


Great day out. You should all come next time.

It was good to catch up with the antics of young Gregor today - and I expect to vet all photos before publication!

Also, this was the first time Le M12 has left the country (christend with a 2.14 on French soil too!). Has anyone noticed (of course you have!) that, with an M12, the more you apply the power into a bend at very high-speed the more it hunkers down and just gets on with it (I swear she was grinning)!

Somewhere is France is the splitter from my M12 when it 'hunkered' down just a tad too much on the way back from Le Mans.

Hunkering is good :-)

Except you left it just the wrong side of a slight brow and I didn't see it 'till it was 20' away. Seeing as I was doing 150 at the time there was no reaction time...just a thump and a "that looked just like bits of a Noble splitter "

Martin.

Indeed, pulling 230km (145) round a rather tight motorway turn was something that I was rather impressed by!!

My mate in the passenger seat however, just kept his eyes shut!!












Top one was when our whole convoy got a road block stop!

The kept us all there for about 15 mins and wrote down all our reg plates and then made us follow them for about 5 mins before finally letting us off!

Must have been a sight, seeing 15 supercars all scream past at over 130!!!



Great day out.



Rob, the shot of you with the thingy has gone home with my mates camera i'm afraid. I'll get him to mail it to me.

Ah, the Silver thingy - our worldwide search for the Noble Holy Grail - and it was found only a few miles from home in Ancient France!
