Just To Say Hi / Re: Another new member gagging to get to Le Mans soon!!!

« on: June 13, 2007, 05:23:16 pm »

Hi all you lucky Le Mansers. I can't make it this year, too busy renovating our house. We live over here now (about 3 hours from the circuit) Caution! the police are very very hot on drink driving and speeding especially the Uk reg cars on route from the ferry to the race!! and the drink limit is lower than the UK so be aware, it is easy to be over. Still, once you are parked up at the track, you can get lashed!!
Enjoy the race and it's atmosphere

Hi there, I am doing this the wrong way round! stuck a post before saying hello.
First went to the race in 69 then on and off upto last year. Went four times as a mechanic, 86, 88 94 and 95 (dnq with Hugh Chamberlain, top bloke) My post was about help given to me after a misjudged exit from a corner whilst on a motorbike (3 months off work and 6 months before I could carry my briefcase to the office. I could still struggle to expence account lunches though!) I now live about three and a half hours from the circuit, and am restoring an old farmhouse, we also have a gite (gitefor2.co.uk) Will be waching the forums with great interest.
Bye for now.

It Happened To Me / Re: Help after accident

Magic ! Thanks chaps, I don't think I can get to the race this year, Went last year, just hopped in the car and drove up the road (yes, heaven, I now live about three and a half hours away in a place called Saintes, restoring a farmhouse and we have a gite, gitefor2.co.uk) I also went to the classic, just as good. Ended up working on a Lola. I used to be a race mechanic in the Group C days have done four Le Mans 24 hours, though never got to the end) I hope I can get in touch with you all. Anyway will be there for sure in 08.

It Happened To Me / Help after accident

« on: May 29, 2007, 09:47:11 pm »

Hi All, Can anyone help? At the 1999 rece, I had a motorbike accident on the road backing onto Hou annex campsite (just after the bend. Whilst laying there all bashed some guys in (I think a white stag ) took a message to my mates on the campsite. I would like to thank them. As my mates came and eased my way to hospital, by making sure the law did not prevent me being put in the meat waggon(amongst other things, my lungs had been crushed and I could'nt speak and they thought I was being awkward!) Again thanks guys
