Hi Tony,
She went to the Italian party (wake) on the Saturday night but they were really upbeat considering what happened early doors. The young lady was invited to the Aston party on Sunday but came with us for pizza instead.
We had a look around the car on Sunday and met the guy who designed the car for Prodrive. The Italian job is badly bent chassis wise and may need a new engine but thats racing.
What capped the weekend was being in the Chamberlain pit when the LMP1 went out for a finish and we then went onto the pit wall for the last few laps. They had a gearbox problem and were loosing oil through a hole that had been made by some errant bits however they got it patched up and got a finish but it was touch and go. I have to say that we had a fantastic time considering that these things just happened and that we were looked after superbly by the Italians and the guys at Chamberlain.
We are going to try and get to Spa but have declined the invitation for Rachael to go to Dubai

By the way did you get the monkey bike back??
