I know what it feels like to break down at Le Mans (with a small carb fire!) and get recovered home, no matter how brave the face it's not how you wanted the weekend to pan out!

That's me underneath sweating like a pig! :)

Hi Everyone

Thats us home, must say a HUGE BIG THANKYOU to everybody for all their assistance, very much appreciated :) . You can see in the picture how much use I am :lol:

Despite our wee mishap enjoyed our visit to Le Mans and the company of DDK. Thanks to Peter and Bootsy getting us to the ferry. Though I may need to get Tom to the cardiologist to reset his heart rate after spending a few hours with Peter in his Carrera - too funny. :lol: :lol:

Really enjoyed being able to put a face to the DDK names and will see some of you in August-just hope Kit is back in time :roll:

Given the Camembert left in there all day in the sun it was probably the best thing for it. Hope they asked somebody before igniting
