Re: 2014 Classic LeMans Blog and pics
As ever it was all over far too quickly. We decided to leave (some say split )on Sunday Lunchtime and head back to Reims...
Phew, I am not the only one...

Re: 2014 Classic LeMans Blog and pics
Looks like myself and Mrs Hig got back on the Chunnel before all of the commotion
Some of my pers pics from the weekend ...
Great light the first evening...
Sleepy Porsches ...
I think this may be the Speedster that had the stack on the Sunday ... no ??
Here in even heavier traffic ...The Gendarm on the roundabout in the circuit wasnt paricularly effective and spent most of the time posing for photos
Heres a less fatal spin on Saturday in the night racing... Open top 908 I think
http://vid1334.photobucket.com/albums/w ... bc960f.mp4
Loved the Pits ...
Theres not a lot of car here when its open ...
2.0L
This was having rear suspension adjusted . Ran really well that evening.
Porsche Paddock
Heres the view of the campsite on Sunday am ...almost all tents packed up when the torrent hit
If you strain you can work out how many ddkrs you can fit in 2 sq m
One of the best outcomes of the week was the conversion of a new classic car spotter in Mrs Hig ...On the road all the way back to Calais ..."Whats this one we're coming up on ? ....Healey ....no ...I take it back ...a Morgan" ....and she seemed genuinely upset not seeing troves of classics once we arrived in Folkestone
...maybe I should buy another project ... and then again ...maybe I should finish one first

I wondered what you were doing with 'La brique jaune' and now I know - takes a good picture that yellow brick.

Re: 2014 Classic LeMans Blog and pics
This is the point I'd already packed and was at Super U filling up, oddly our motivation for walking back in to the track plummetted somewhat and we made the break for home!
In the end a lucky call based on the tunnel carnage we would have joined on Monday

Re: 2014 Classic LeMans Blog and pics
Yes but within an hour it had stopped raining and the afternoon was sunny for the racing
Shame I didn't catch up with you Gary - I probably stepped over you in the pits

We assumes the weather continued as the heavy rain managed to follow us all the way to Calais without letting off once!

Re: 2014 Classic LeMans Blog and pics
hmmm.... so, is this the "grooming" that I read so much about in the Daily Mail?
exactly where is your left hand? and who have you got locked up in that changing room behind you? That cheeky look on Parr's face tells a story or two and its remarkable that he can still sit down....
