Loved your video Chris; somehow for me it summed the whole deal up, the driving, the social, the weather and a bit of racing.

Brilliant...

I have to cycle over this bridge - and Pegasus - next week. On a tandem. With an 8 year old.
A flat 4 or 6 is obviously more fun

Great pics (and vid) all! It almost makes me want to pitch a tent in a wet field in France for the weekend and get no sleep

Cool film, as cool as.... anything. Think I recognise that garage! :)

Great trip, cars, circuit, people & places along the way. I didn't get to see everyone I wanted to see but guess the weather didn't help with that. Shame the racing started so late on Sat and the safety car was out so much.. but atmopshere in pitlane during the rain was exciting, if chaotic.

Some superb images on here that show plenty of things I missed... here are my snaps of stuff that caught my eye.

Starting with a legendary 911...

Flat front wings and vents are cool, on a Ferrari :wink: Jokes aside, seeing Vic's slope charging up behind you or disappearing over the horizon is quite something 8)

This DB4 has been owned by the same enthusiastic lady driver for 18 years and she really uses it... last time on a ferry it was transport for 161 bottles of wine :drunken:

This Riley looked nice but left an oily film on everything behind it..
