It was great to see Smokie, Steve B, JPC and Gibberish last night, and thanks for coming over guys. We had a useful night on the computer and think will be coming over on tues returning sunday or monday. Think we know what tickets we want too, will PM Pidge with details soonest.
Need leess to say, a trip to the pub followed. We left somewhat giddy, though mentioning no names, some were more giddy than others, I think it was Gibberish.
The evening ended with a remarkable Le Mans coincidence. We were asked into a friend's house after the pub shut at 1am. Another friend James was there too, he works for a cargo airline. The subject of the Aston Martin came up inevitably and he casually announced he'd flown it over from Stanstead to Chicago on New Year's day. He proceeded to show us some photo's he took of it in the hold of a 747. The lucky sod even sat in it! Probably he's the first person to sit in it whilst it's doing 500 knots!!
BTW. Do any of the US contingent know if Ford have some sort of test facility near Chicago or is there any other logical reason why it would be there??
