Back home...
« on: June 18, 2006, 08:12:14 pm »
What a phantastic weekend...  ;D Oh, I seem to be the first one. That doesn't happen too often.  ;)

I just returned home and will now have the four Esses (sh!t, shave, shower and sleep).

Congratulation to Marco Werner, Frank Biela und Emanuele Pirro (and of course Audi) for winning the race.

Save return for those who could stay until the end.  :)

More tomorrow... good night.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I'm back too.

I always say "That was The Best Yet".

So again, That was The Best Yet.

Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making it such a Good One.

Just got back safe and sound, new motorway really makes a difference, Bleu Nord to Windsor in just 8 hours 45 minutes, including ferry Dover/Calais, without risking the licence. :)

Now to recover from a brilliant weekend, probably take about 2 weeks, just in time for the Classic ;D

Arrived back to Newcastle about an hour ago. We left Bleu Nord at shortly after 7 this morning.

No problems on route and even Rouen caused no troubles (by following the signs rather than listening to the Satnav!)

Only saw one set of Police in France who seemed to have stopped a Corvette for some number plate infingement.

A great time as always and thanks to Barry for the Germolene for the "self inflicted" razor wire injury!

Nah - I have a feeling that next year will be the best yet :P

Food, sleep and shower time now whilst I wait for everyone else to appear.

Back home and safe in a cold drizzly Manchester!  ::)

Big thanks to all CA'ers for their contribution to another great week at Le Mans - obviously seeing the Saleen was just an added bonus!  ;D

Arnage corner to Aberdeen in 26 hours including ferry and a stop off and a kip in Cumbria.

17 hrs behind the wheel, and I'd do it again tomorrow. Can't go next year, but I'll be there in 08

Just back what an amazing weekend. Fifth year and that one was the best.

A big well done to Lawrence and the boys at Panoz, I spent the last 45 minutes biting my nails.

Apologies to anyone who heard us singing in town on Friday, strangled cats could have done better.

Great weekend, thanks to DFH, Team JPC, flying bagettes etc. Great to see so many friends from Sebring and hope they had a safe journey home. Also hope Jupiter has recovered from his trek to Terte Rouge which ended at 4 am !

The WANCs returned ok.I wasnt too thrilled the diesel audis won and how quiet they were.Within a few years all cars may have to be that quiet and instead of a race to see how far they can travel in 24 hours ,it could be who can use the least fuel in 24 hours.Bring out the solar panels!!

Also back home safe and sound,
Congratulations to TWATS for spending so much of Saturday night falling over.
Race Weekend was Brilliant again but agree with the others that the whispering Audis take a bit of getting used to.
Came back most of the way on the B roads so missed out on the stationary joy of Rouen.
See you next year.

P.s. Both of my (very light blue) Club Arnage flags were stolen from HA on Saturday night. Barstards >:(
I had them in my possesion for no more than six hours!
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here
