Me too, having met Lang Tall at Gatwick this morning - didn't realise we were on the same Virgin!!

Didn't quite make it to Sebring though - but that's a long story for another time...  :-\

Look what I found. Friday night at F Troop

F Troop did a gig in the Party Zone on Friday afternoon and I watched them doing their sound check. That guy can sure play the drums. Maybe one year we could get them over to Le Mans 8)
Superb... Good work JPC.  ;D

It must be about time I checked in.    ::)

Having survived the best Sebring I've had to date I only managed about 30 hours in the UK before getting on a plane to NZ.  I am currently enjoying lazy summer days and great NZ wine.  It's a tough life!

Live imperfectly and with great delight.

I manged to watch the high lights from motors tv last night. What a race,fingers crossed for more of that in a couple of months with an aston or 2 in between  ;D

Sebring definately looks like a different experience to Le Mans. The shot of the guy standing at his BBQ on the inside of a corner with just a crash barrier beween him and the cars looks interesting.
They have lumps of what round the back???

There is a chest high fence that you can lean against and take photos from, a few feet of dirt/grass, a barrier and short stack of tires (in some places), a few more feet and then track.....so, we are about...oh, 20 feet or so I guess from the cars on the track.

Yes I got a picture of that too, but just to piss everyone off even further he had a rather nice Audi R8 in pearl black with carbon side blades parked next to the motorhome. Just like i would have one if i could afford it. Jammie bastard !

Hi Martini,
              Made in Canada eh! although like any successful Canadian company they were sold to the highest bidder. From Quebec so your pronunciation would be correct ( you knew that ::))
