So After months and months of planning, the Northants Pit Crew finally made it down to Le Mans for the 24 Hours.

Was one of the best things I have ever done, the company was exceptional, the drive down was brilliant and to take 4 stickered up VXs was something special (and our Top Gear support vehicle of course!)

I have so many pictures to go through but here are a few to start. Wolfstone, Ollyj, Toby, Redbutcher, Barton, Dooper and Hainsey (and G and 9toes not on the forum) thank you so much for making it what it was.



strap line for the trip

stickering evening Tuesday before we left



Hoodies - top quality



Big wheel at the start of the pits - Olly pooing his pants just out of shot!

More to come!

It really was an epic trip and couldn't think of a better way of celebrating james.a's 40th birthday or doing it with a better bunch of blokes I'm proud to call mates.
