Good to hear you are back safe Phil. Thanks for the mention dude. It was a pleasure to have you around.
I think I am safe to say on behalf of The Brethren that you are welcome to join us anytime you want.
Princess Alex will be soooooo pleased for her mention too. It was her first LM so to be mentioned in a thanks thread will make her LM experience a memorable one (if it wasn't already! ;))
See you at Sebring!!!!

Hi Phil,

as always it was a pleasure to meet you - good to hear you had a safe trip back.

There'll be more cold Bitburgers waiting for you next year!

Cheers

Thanks Tom,
                  That pole with flags lead me "home" on more than one occassion.I suspect others needed it too. What a featureless field BN is with out CA sites.

See i knew i was missing some of you. Thanks for the ride to Heathrow.
For the rest of you. Chris and I stopped at the Canadian Cemetery on the outskirts of Dieppe before following his map to an abandoned quay side with a pile of rubble at the exact spot the map showed for the Hotel. Fortunately the map was wrong and we found the Formule 1 back up the hill.
Insignia was very nice 6 speed transmission diesel cruised along effortlessly. 9 miles on the clock to start nearly 900 when I gave it back.
