The pin worked rather well, didn't it? It was splendid to finally put faces to names (or, at least, voices for those who'd already had their mugs posted in this thread). Ayse, of course; Craig, whose ear I bent considerably; MikeH, Suze, sam, kpy, batmobile, Bernard (et Vincent, merci pour les pretzels), Pascal, Neil and father, Bentley, GT6, rdj... If I've missed you out, I apologize, the champers was making me chatty and less than attentive. For what it's worth, I heard a shout out to AllonFS on RLM on race day.

Sorry for my absence again
I did try to find you guys and spent about 45 mins walking around with my google earth print-out trying to work out where all the village tents fit into it and therefore where the meet was. Were you somewhere near the grand marnier creperie or the bp ultimate setup? Hope you all had a good time and hopefully will get to meet you all next year. |

Many appologies for my absence too! Just too busy at Speedchills to get there! Knew where it would be as I was there on Friday after being in the Creation garage, just couldn't repeat the journey 24hrs later. Sorry guys and gals, maybe catch you all in a couple of years when I go again?

I was thinking of you guys, so thanks for raising a glass and if I really got a mentioned on RLM a big thank you to whoever organised that.
Having conveniently missed a wet year, fingers crossed I will be back with the sun next year. |

You were missed, Allon, had no one to keep Carl under control in your absense Seriously, it seemed weird without you, fella, make sure you get yourself down there next year!
As to the mention on the radio, that was organised by Graham from DSC, I am trying to get a copy as an MP3 as it was recorded by a rather special person... will pop it in the post along with the photos when I get it. To everyone else, it was great to meet up with the regulars and new-comers alike. I couldn't believe it was 2.5 hours we were there... it seemed about 20 minutes! |

Craig - Many thanks for your hospitality again this year. I do have that sinking feeling of being back at work, but will see what happens closer to next year. At least we know who's organising things next year!?
Allon, we missed your level-head on Sunday night, although if I remember two years ago, you were doing very similar things as Carl and Andy were doing. Cryptic maybe, but we'll catch up. Mike. |

Well our car made it to Le Mans Wednesday night after the rushed repairs, but we couldn't make it to the TT meet as our ordered taxi arrived 45 mins late on Saturday morning! My daughter noticed the picture of the pin on the tree on Sunday, that brought a smile to my face as I was wondering excatly where the meet had taken place. The whole village area certainly feels like a strange place nowadays, perhaps it will take a few more years to feel 'homely'.

Thanks for the wine, don't think I said that either....! Glad to hear Vincent enjoyed it. KDR, don't remember seeing you at the meet but did see you at a service station on the way down [you said hi to Sam who was filling up the car....] Zac, you can "interrupt" Sam! |

that was again a very nice meeting. thanks all for coming, and as it appears to grow each year, I wonder how much we'll be next year ... hopefully we won't block the entire place du village
I've got a few pictures that I'll try to post tonight (as Ayse's pics seem to be a bit over exposed) shame I didn't even say hello to you, Ker. I saw you and a couple of seconds later, you were already gone ! |

suze yes i remember seeing you in the front of the car and remembered from the picture from last year when you were next to sam that you were indeed suze.. i don't think sam and your good self had arrived yet this year when i was there.
bernard and paul sorry i couldn't hang around, i had to rush off and take some pictures of someone with some other people for some magazine. when someone gets a thread going on the photography forum i'll put some of my pictures on from this year. |

Ah maybe I did miss you then kdr....though we were one of the first ones there I think! We were with Gavin Ireland [gi_gav] at the petrol station too.
It did go on longer than I've found before, I know Paul and I went to get lunch / champagne / beer etc! It must've been 2 / 2.15 before we left. |
