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

Then the Germans invaded!

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.

The club marquee (hopefully someone else got a better shot), with my mate Paul pretending to be a flowerpot man!

The club 'stand' (again hope someone else got a better pic).

Another one, showing the Lola on the stand too.

Re: Le Mans Classic 2004 Max\'s \'Personal\' Diary

The other half of the 'stand'.

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.

Re: Le Mans Classic 2004 Max\'s \'Personal\' Diary

A few more cars at the start (just before I switched to video).

Re: Le Mans Classic 2004 Max\'s \'Personal\' Diary

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

Back at the ranch, we eat like Kings (& Queens) again.

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.

Stopped at Omaha Beach on the way back, for fuel & food really but had a look around too.

One of those classic 'height comparison' shots.
