What a fantastic day. Started very wet, got wetter then dried out. Last session of the day was bone dry and I had a great few laps pushing the Evora as hard as it would go.

Cleared up at 16:00. Complete mahem between 4 and 6.

Great day! Especially after 16:00.

Seriously fun

Really enjoyed the day, even being VXless!  Good to meet up with familiar faces of  the hardened track day group. Special thanks to Kieran and Paul for the passanger rides that they gave to my youngst son and his friend, they were thrilled by the experince.

 

Took our chaces for an evening meet up in Stavolot, ended up at the Figaro Pizza place in the middle of town, only to find that during the meal the centre had been barriered off for another festival!...12 mile detour to get back to the hotel !!

Rubbish day until 1600 unless you like having trench foot.
This photo sums up the mood.

as bad as Dijon Chris?

[PaulCP]

Not quite as bad as Dijon but very close The group who stopped here at Bruges on the way back have realised that we have one lightweight amongst us A couple of Belgium beers in the afternoon means sleeping all evening. Should we name & shame?

[Potatoes]

Yes!

I'm afraid so Paul, its not the VX way.

[PaulCP]

Let's wait & see if he comes forward by himself first In the meantime did anyone realise that Harry Hill had joined the VX clan

It was me! Dave E forced me to drink beer from lunch time and through out the afternoon... 11% beers and I then fell asleep and missed dinner! Now waiting in the bar for them!

Appalling behaviour! (Those Strong Belgian beers are too easy drinking for my liking)

[Sutol]

I knew Dave would be behind it somewhere.

[MartinS]

That Zot beer is good stuff in Brugge (a mere 7% I think).

 

Hope all have got home ok.

We're still here. Techie got home last night, I'm on train with Sean, Chris and Dave. Others at various times today. Gotta stop and get some wine on the way home

[techieboy]

Yup, No problems at all last night. 

 

Brief slow down on the motorway about 5km's from the tunnel as a French Pug estate had got trapped on the front of a truck and pushed a couple of hundred metres along the road, sideways. But in true French style, they kept the motorway fully open.

 

Queue of trucks on the hard shoulder and lane 1 of the motorway for about a kilometre before the terminal and a few hundred migrants milling around, eyeing them up in the fields beside the motorway but no problem for car access. They were running three crossings an hour and I got put on a train 40 minutes earlier than my booked crossing (as with the outbound, crossing times bore little resemblance to the timetable). Possibly the smoothest check-in I've had on the French side with only a couple of cars ahead of me.

 

Parked up to grab a coffee at the French terminal. Came out to find a white 15 plate 458 Spyder I'd overtaken earlier parked three places away but people were standing around taking pictures of my car (including one kid screaming frantically at his parents to get the camera from their car). 458 owner looked suitably unimpressed.

 

M20 London bound was almost empty. Coast bound was carnage with batches of trucks for miles on the other side for Stack. Big queues at junction 4 as they were taking all vehicles off the motorway to split the cars/bikes/vans out it and routing them another way.

 

Fingers crossed the fatality and second mass invasion overnight doesn't cause too many problems for the rest of you today.

 

Feel properly shagged today though.
