No wonder the car wasn't running too well! Actually we just used a couple of these to drain the old oil into. |

Neat idea with the targa roofs though. There were evidently 4 of them together, but they had a little accident with one! | |

Actually the Germans were a nice bunch too. Here they are, with Dick & a few others, sporting the hottest selling item of the weekend - Dick's club T-shirts. | |

How NOT to finish your track time at Le Mans!
Actually we had completed the track time, this was when it overheated/stalled & wouldn't restart when queuing up (again) to get back to the club stand. At least the recovery was free. But it did mean I had been on the trailer twice within 4 days, both within the Le Mans circuit!! | |

A collection of '40s at the start of a race. They did the proper running start. The video I took of this is better than the pictures. | |

A group of '40s in parade before their race, going round Terte Rouge (again the video from later on is much better). | |

A closer shot of our home from home, notice the satellite dish on the right hand side, rigged up so we could watch the German Grand Prix on the Sunday. | |
