just to get ayse and some others in the mood.

welcome to 2000(obvious with the weather!)

Fab · 17 May 2002, 12:19 (Ref:288831)

Thanks kdr !

Another PM for Ayse : I try to send to you an excuse message, but I get an error message at each time... sorry for the size of the pictures ! I stop for the moment...

Again, lots of apologizes, Ayse !

For those who want to know : I send too much big (500 ko) PQ pictures to Ayse and his mailbox exploded !

connection seems to be even slower in GB than in France !

Anyway, kdr : hope to have the same weather than 2000 !

maybe 1st in a very occasional series, i've read the warning about posting too many pics. perhaps if i add another in a few days you can delete this one. i liked this one a lot, ok the result was a bit pre-ordained...but the weather

Great picture. The weather was very nice that year.

Sometimes (if you are under cover) a wet setting can be lend a certain ambience to the setting

This was last year, a few hours into the race.

Not long now...

Yes, I like that one a lot, Adam. Nice to see the contrast between last year's deluge and this year's blistering sunshine.........

Factor 25 is packed and ready.

Just remember to keep up your fluid (beer) intake.

Here's another to wet your appetite! Again this is 2000.

1991 was a bad year for (lack of) factor 25. It required a quick trip into town to find some soothing aftersun! For a change, we decided to watch the start from the esses (see them streaming down from the bridge!). I'd only been out in the sun for half an hour and I was in agony!

If I remember rightly apart from the actual race it rained constantly the entire weekend. We had to stop in an hotel much earlier on the way down because the rain was so bad that we couldn't see out of the car (and the car was leaking a lot!)
