	Left the UK Last Thurday to travel to Le Mans Classic Sorry about the link to albums but to cross link to every pic would take ages - feel free to paste pics into this as a discussion thread!!! Car Park Shots www.photobox.co.uk/album/3459425 tasters Racing Shots www.photobox.co.uk/album/3459422 Monza pics www.photobox.co.uk/album/3462743 Painted the roll cage while there was sod all on to watch on Friday Morning - sorted out the tailgate alignment too Met up with Mr B for a beer and to watch the racing on Saturday at Arnage Corner (Hope you liked the joy ride in the Monza ) Sunday after the racing finished - I had the chance to drive almost all the circuit while the whole of France watched their home side lose at some childrens game ;D So pics were essential - left several signatures on the track too, several 11's and a lot of inteligable squiggles (the track was very slippery!!) - At least the clutch is improving with age and miles!!! Arrived home Last night after a 900 mile round trip Average mpg (2 up and not travelling light by any means - spare cyl head in the boot) 24.99 mpg Lowest 21.0 mpg (Thetford to Dover 153 miles in just under 2 hrs) Highest 29.8 mpg (just outside Le Mans to Dover) Dover to home dropped the average a lot due to a rather large amount of wine in the back ;D and a bit of circuit activity didn't help much either!!

	Sorry I didn't answer your call when you and Mr B met up, turns out phones don't work on thin air, but I did get your message. Yesterday. At least I got to surprise you at the gate, we wandered past your camp at one point but nobody was around, my mate commented on how your Monza would make a good feature car for RC. Shame it's so modified eh? ;D Looks like you had a good weekend, and those are seriously impressive MPG figures, I wish my 2ltr Pinto Transit was that good. It was a great weekend huh? First time I've camped on Maison Blanche, think I'll be doing it again though. I couldn't get enough of the last group of racers, M1's and fire spitting 935s... Ooof. ;D ;D ;D... and ;D

	The Classic is very different to the proper Le Mans - Quieter - More chilled The racing is 6 classes and just under 2 hr sprints (x 3) The pisser for me was the two classes (Classes 4 & 5) I wanted to see night race never had to turn their headlights on!!! But I drank a fair bit of beer as normal and was in good company and I'd do it again.... Proper Le Mans = Biggest UK Motoring Event (Just hapens to be held in France) and totally mad - it has to be a must for every petrol head
