  1. We'll have one after Crimbo I imagine. Same agenda each year and only change up a few things each year - why fix something that ain't broke?
  2. I love that show and best of all - its free! So many great cars in the showground and plenty of beer and food which is what we want 🙂
  3. Very fond memories of Mad Friday and watching stuff going on that you just wouldn't see anywhere else and the police just standing by and watching it all unfold 🙂 I especially remember the Pirate Ship going through Arnage and spraying everyone there with water cannons Bloody good times had by all but seems to have died off nowadays 😞
  4. Le Mans 24 Hours is quite possibly 'the greatest race in the world' The Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race (Vingt-Quatre Heures du Mans), hosted annually in France in mid June, a 24-hour endurance race for both men and machine. Although the race is based at the Le Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France it has historically been considered as 'the biggest British motor race in France' with many British drivers and cars claiming victory over the many decades. In 2023, this annual event has run for 100 years, with the exception of a few years owing to World War 2 and the effects of the Great Depression in the 1930's. The circuit has also changed considerably over time, along with the cars that race upon it. What was once a dirt track and is now a track capable of top speeds in excess of 250 mph. The cars also now clocking speeds in excess of this on the Mulsanne Straight. What also makes it quite unique is that the race is run throughout the night which is quite spectacular to watch if you can stay awake that long! For those who haven't yet experienced Le Mans 24 Hours, it is most definitely worth going to at least once, many (including myself) have been continuously for many years, even decades....and of course it is never with thrills and spills - not to mention the social shenanigans of the event.
  5. What's the best race year you have ever been to and why? Mine has to be 2007 which was my first actual year of attendance at this great race and watching the Audi R10 TDi competing with the Peugeots But my first 'Le Mans Car Race' had to be in 1989 at Brands Hatch where I actually got to see the most awesome Sauber Mercedes battling with the Silk Cut Jaguars - something I will never forget!
  6. Beausejour....what an eye-opener into depravity but also a damn good laugh where virtually anything could happen, and frequently does 🤣 I think over the years I have seen it all in that campsite
  7. any of the Bentley Boys were my preferred favourite drivers... god, guts and glory, regardless of the cost
  8. Was there also and agree was the most awful weather with not too much hard racing, c'est la vie !
  9. Had an Alfa Romeo Mito but now only have motorbikes....Harley and Africa Twin
  10. Hi.....complete and utter Le Mans addict Live it, breath it, sleep it - repeat every year until told not to, even then will still go 🙂
  11. 12 years and counting.....all of them superb races not many of them dry - weather and alcohol 🙂
