Title: Sunday night in Houx Annexe

If any one knows who was responsible for the most amazing firework display (X2) near the roundabout just outside Houx Annexe, then please send on my regards. Damn good show 8) :D
And a great weekend it was to. Can't say the same for the weather forcasts that were available. although the weather was brilliant so good result there too.

Hear Hear!!! One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Our group have already decided we are going for it next year too!! Although safety might come into it as the state we were in for most of the weekend I don't think we should be let anywhere near fireworks!! ;D

As said on another post, I will take a bow on behalf of myself and our team for that one. You'll be able to tell who we are for the massive 'tree' flagpole always adorning our camping area.
Glad you enjoyed, we'll be back next year. Hopefully the Lotus Europa will be fixed for more roundabout action and I'll have the Stylus up and running for some hooning around!!
Bring on 2004, the fireworks WILL be bigger and better - as always,
Mark

What happened to the Lotus? thought it was lacking it's usuall mental appearances ??? ???
Tree flag pole was a bit "bent" on the tip this year!!!
and i see Houx Annexe got it's own special mention in the sun newspaper this weekend, with a note of the naked lads on the roundabout (female reporter) ::)

Wow! I saw the 'flagpole' and marvelled as to how you got it up there - assuming it wasn't a naked tree of course.
I especially liked the beer can right at the top. ;D

Dead trees were few and far between this year, so we convinced ourselves we'd still be able to see the flag when the wind dropped with that one... shame it wasn't as tall as last year though!
Marky, you seem to have forgotten our pledge to take the roundabout a stage further next year...

The Europa had a few problems on the Friday (drive shafts I think). Did any one catch it in the drivers parade???. I didn't get down to LM until the Saturday, so was a little dissapointed to miss it on the round-about this year. There's always next year though!

Can I assume we are talking about a s*#t brown Austin Allegro. I have managed to source a NOS kit for 50 quid. Still leaves me 450.
Cheers................... Still walking though.

Objectives of the Challenge- Drive to Le Mans in banger , treat
vehicle with minimal respect culminating in xxxx :P derby on Sunday
evening, return to Blighty via Train or Minibus.
Weekend cost of car,camping & race entry not to exceed £500.
All cars to be painted in team colours ( TBA) by hand.
Team entries of driver & up to 3 passengers allowed.
Cars to be fitted with Rocket Launch Tubes
Cars to be modified in such a way so that Lights will not be smashed by
slight bumping, purpose being to remain legal until arrive at
destination.
Nitrous Kits allowed but must fall within budget.
Special Prizes to be awarded for varying categories:- Cheapest, most
interesting, most unusual feature, best modification etc.
Finally all cars must be booked on Seacat rather than that bloody
boring ferry! :P
I was really up for this in the Commer. With a few mods to fit rocket launchers and nitrous I reckon I qualified this year anyway, so no sweat. The tough old boot is made of cast iron and is totally indestructable.
Then I read the last sentence.... Sorry, but if you seriously think I am ever travelling again on that hideous heap of Seacatshit, then you are sadly very much mistaken my fine feathered friends.
