Just swapped my 888's for Khumos as I'm off to silverstone in a little while and it was pouring down in MK. Now the suns out and its dry again. :rolleyes: I'm really unsure what to do for Le Mans. :unsure:

My father is a couple of hours south of le Mans. He reckons we'll have extended spells of dry track since the heavy showers they are experiencing at the moment dry out very quickly.

We're in Ducey, an hour to the north west, had rain on the way down but not enough to worry the slicks :) Currently sipping 1664 on the terrace of a nice bar where the bbq is lit. :D. See you lot tomorrow.

Just back from France. I had a very nice day with you guys, very lucky with the weather when you know what god's pee we had on saturday... The LOT parade was extremely appreciated, congrats, will be back next year for sure. Could not catch the Black Caterham cup, indeed well driven. Someone from here ? Cheers.

Well that was eventful. Lost count of the number of brake bleeds we did on the first day... Epic journey, great fun, great friends. I never cease to be amazed at how everyone pulls together when needs must. I reckon 45 minutes for an inner CV boot must be a record and we could have done it quicker if the whole lot hadn't been so damned hot. As most of you know by now, my run up to Le Mans was not easy and big thanks go to: Dave (VXted) for the day you gave up and the CV boot parts and fix Joe_589 for your time and constant optimism SebF for your time and caliper, without you, I wouldn't have got there Jimmy for coming over to help when your car was still in bits Chris for hauling arse from Leeds to mine and never giving up as well as the use of your car to get me to Northampton Without all your support, help and dedication, I would have never made the ferry.
