    A few friends did the trip to LeMans this year. It was a fantastic occasion and an unforgettable few days. We drove down from london on Thursday morning and arived at Le Mans in time for lunch. These were the most enjoyable kms I have ever put on my car (with some battle scars to show for it like my broken fog light !).

    On Thursday we went to the public part of the track early and had loads of fun making speed passes and watching every car possible going passed.

    For the race, curtesy of Stewart from our group we had some press passes and were right in the action. I visited every single pit, watched refueling from about 2 inches form the cars and of course took some prety good shots of the Tropicana Girls at the starting grid.

    I have not put the pictures in any order but I hope you enjoy them :)

    There is nothing more beautiful than the sight of race cars running in the night.

    That lens was coverd with a very thick armourfend coat but I think that at some of the speeds we may have been doing even medium size mosquitos would chip the paint, never mind anything more substantial like a small stone !

    do you know how many TDF Blue 355 Berlinetta's are in London? I saw one when i was there a couple months ago and took a pic of it. Looked like it was outside a hotel type building on a back alley road by park lane, was that yours?

    Chris,

    there are a few but not too many that i have seen with TDF and Crema. .Quite possibly you may have seen my car. I pass by there quite often as I live nearby.

    Cheers

    Ernie I have no idea as its not me wearing it. If you notice however this is a party hat and not a real leather helmet, its made form the rubbery plastic that party masks are made from :D
