Help!
I am having a thorough clean out for the New Year and I came across these two photograph taken in about 1999. This is NOT a quiz but can anyone help with where they were taken - I have not got a clue!

With a Stella banner in the background it certainly suggests a non-British track.
The 2 piles of tyres (if that is what they are) marking the apex are, er, an interesting idea I don't recall seeing used very often. Would they help to jog memories and narrow the options? |

Come on guys, with Stella (beer) advertising it can only be (and it is) Spa Les Combes corner as Terry says.
You've all been driving round the place often enough. |

Hey dont misquote me Mr Zef, where did I say they were good at making everything wet and rusty!!! Never noticed it in my garage but I did build it in a traditional way with 8inch blocks and a proper sloping tiled roof as I may want to convert it into a bungalow now I have heard the twits at the bottom of the garden who thought they had a ransome strip of land across the back of me in a council adobted road have been defeated in court. Could be worth several hundred grand to me that, won't have a big garage but with that money I am sure I can soon get one somewhere. ;-).

At least I thought you guys somehow managed to keep the names of beer and wine in mind.
Even if they are behind the armco. |
