I remember my first time in 2005.

Arrived there on Mad friday 23.30u.

Missed the entrance of MB and it took me 45 min to turn and get back to find the entrance.

Have been known to watch all the madness along the road between MB and Bleu. However hilarious it can be (and at times it is excellent entertainment) you just know that someone is going to get badly hurt.

Before the concrete wall was erected along the side of MB I remember seeing two nasty incidents; one where someone in a Caterham knocked a woman over and the car ended up in the ditch and another where a guy completely totalled a beautiful Jaguar by attempting a burn out and piling the car into the back of a 4x4 that was obscured by it's own tyre smoke. I always wondered what happened to that fella.

Anyone know?

Nice vids Werner, standard innocent daytime fun on mad Friday but after 2006 things went downhill rapidly. Loads of chavs chucking water/beer/piss into other people's cars, opening doors and boots and damaging vehicles.

Especially the road and roundabout near Houx Annexe were pretty bad, police/CRS were omni-present there last year so things were a bit quieter.

Yep, remember reading about a guy whose 356 replica crashed at 120+ km/h on the road next to Houx on Sunday evening in 2006, only to spend the rest of the summer in the intensive care ward of a French hospital.

Yep, use to be good to sit in the field in MB, on the roof of my disco, watching the events on the road, how many years ago was that (before the concrete wall)

Even then it was bloody dangerous.

Ahh - the good ol simple days  :)
