You just had to bring that up again, didn't you!

Martin, great pics thanks! Your efforts are very much appreciated. I did have a small panic when looking through the last batch- thought you had caught me with '4 wheels off'- I'm in enough trouble already.......

It's complicated, but that was the plan. The M6 seems to be unsaleable in its present condition, but I just can't afford to spend anymore 'proper' money on it.

I think at that time, had we been able to maintain the pace without the delays later on, we would have been second. But as with some others we hit the dreaded 4hrs "wall"!
Thanks Peter, the Lancia actually lasted a lot longer than any of us expected! As you can see from John and Martin's superb pictures, when 'Crazy Alex' got back in for his second stint at the start of the fourth hour he had the inside wheel off the ground at every opportunity. He later confessed to exceeding the rev limit 'once or twice' so it wasn't a huge surprise when the engine let go after 4hrs 20m. He'd already blown the engine in his Alfa (also at Snetterton), which is why we resorted to the Fulvia, although it had never raced beyond 1 hour before.

The Lancaster pictures are terrific too. Alex's grandfather flew them in the war, and his family were all there in support so the fly-past was perfect.

If anyone didn't pick up their time sheets btw, they are on TSL under the heading 'Special', which says it all really: http://www.tsl-timing.com/special/2010/103291.pdf

As Claire knows, we'll be back next year with something that should not only last the distance but with luck will keep up with the Jag boys and maybe even Smokin' Mike Bell...

I had a grandstand seat watching the Lancia's wheel lifting through Sear & Russell- one way of saving tyre wear! Great car and really sorry you couldn't make it to the end.

Apparantly the race is reported in EDP today- I'll get a copy and see what they have to say!

Sorry my next pics are somewhat delayed. What with moving/splitting threads around and getting involved in 'behind the scenes' PMs, I'm all behind (no comments, please!). They will go up sometime today, but just later than intended!

Fifth hour.
Just a few from the pit area as I spent much of that time catching up with friends and chatting! Mechanical maladies were beginning to set in by then, and we have seen that we sadly lost the Lancia during this period:-
