Or just strap a big paraglider wing on for an unparalleled view of the circuit during the race, an unbeatable way of avoiding the post-race jams getting out of the camp sites, and, finally, an outstanding way of avoiding paying rip-off prices to cross the channel  ;D ;D ;D

Here's one not-so-modern Commer, been put out to pasture in the Antiguan sunshine. Worse ways of ending your days I guess. I remember when this old sod was still on the road, not that many years ago.

I guess that you are back then!

How long until the above commer arrives in the UK for you next project?

Are you going to Pre-Quals? (There is quite a group of us now)

Welcome back Andy.  Hope you enjoyed seeing the only defeat that we had ;D

Do you normally spend your holidays searching out old Commers, or is it that they find you?  ::)

True, I must say it's very sad spending your holiday looking for old Commers  ;D

No mate sorry, can't do it. One of LM crew is getting married on the Saturday and whilst I was hoping to be able to do the dover-calais route early on Sunday morning, in all honesty, it's just not practical. Have a good time though y'awl.

It wasn't a defeat, the match ended as a draw!  :-[

There is a bit of an old lorry grave yard, containing a few Commers. It's on the way to the cricket ground and it seemed churlish not to stop and take a photo.

Welcome home

Cheers Steve, but have you gone mad??

Sad?? No, there is no healthier pursuit for a clean living young man like me than to root out old Commers. You never know what you might find. These things are sheer gold.

Hmmm, I suppose the same can be said about me drooling over all the old 50's Chevys and Caddys in Mexico (next stop Cuba).

Oh, and the 70's muscle cars in Australia.
