Le Mans 2013

[Cub.]

In response to getting another black eye, hope not, just got rid of this one

 

[Panda.]

2 things with this post. A. lol at silly hats. B. Showing up the south will never be achieved.

I can only echo this... next year we have BIG plans too.

Talk is cheap.

We've heard for a couple of years now how you do it properly and you've never made it to Monday morning.

oh.

 

[Gavin.]

Lol. I have no issues with leaving on a Sunday tbh, all thats left to do is wait until next year

The only thing that came close to 'mob mentality' was when one of these blokes tried to stop an Elise to do a burnout and the Elise driver simply drove into him causing him to fall on the front clam and punch the windscreen in anger lol

Epic trip again from the failsport boys! Thanks to Dave for organising it all

Also r.i.p Allen simonsen

100% not going to Le Mans after reading about the fighting and this:http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/motorsport/le-mans-and-unwelcome-mob-mentality

So a reporter who is driving a £142,000 car that belongs to someone else craps his pants because there are a few dozen people getting a bit close to the car. The fact the car had no damage at all would indicate what many have said already. He is massively exaggerating the situation. Having experienced the joy of 'Mad Friday' on a few occasions now it's easily dealt with. Windows up, give it few thousands revs then drive slowly away. The crowd may boo and jeer but the worst that will happen is a blast of a super soaker that contains recycled alcohol. :dead:

Well we got back home to Cornwall late last night, slept till nearly 2 today due to being shattered. As a first timer I loved every second of it and won't be back.

Due to how long we spent in the paddock/pit area on Friday, the PH meet was finishing up as we arrived so didn't get chance to meet you guys. Maybe next time.

Learnt so much for next time, Ie arrive earlier in the week and probably leave on the Sunday night. Don't buy a gazebo that cost 14.99 etc

Back to work tomorrow. Gutted.com

What an absolutely bloody fantastic weekend that was!!!

Team Anorak's Le Mans debut went extremely well. It's a shame we were a man down from the off but on the plus side the tent was far better than I expected and a special mention must go to Squadron Leader Paul "Gorminator" Gorms for the oh-so-comfy cot-beds, second only to Vish's uber-impressive blow-up, I mean, inflatable mattress.

Good to put names to the faces of Norfbest, looking forward to next year already!

And it was good to meet Ross, Ollie, Vish, Tom & Dom, and catch up with the rest of the Failsport contingent. A big personal thank you, to you all, for making my weekend one I won't forget in a hurry - the tips, guidance, maps, sausages/burgers/lamb, company, late-night tour to Arnage (plus extended sight-seeing return journey), banter & the highlight of my weekend - Black Ops to get up close & personal with the cars at full-chat. Still get goosebumps. Thanks lads.

We picked up some good ideas from you guys, but don't rest on your laurels - we also spotted areas of weakness, and we will exploit those next year!

Here's to CS@LM14 - bigger, better, louder & crazier than before, and only 361 days to go...

 

[Gavin.]

I sooooo need to black ops next year, I wanted to this year.

 

[Cub.]

Black Ops was epic. Genuine goosebumps. No mention of your faithful Chauffeur Timothy

[Panda.]

It was good wasn't it. Probably the best year so far.

We've got plans next year don't you worry. At least you lot have been given a head start .. Norfbest are still neanderthal by comparison.

I now await Daves write up and finding some time to put a short video together (if anyones got any clips send them to me.. like budgies stairway to heaven etc...)

 

[Cub.]

Good one Timmmmmaaahhhhh

 

[Panda.]

If we're looking forward.. this has to be on a car somewhere next year

 

[Cub.]

f**k it, lets go the whole hog and get him a wheelchair for the wkd aswell

 

[Panda.]

Only if it had an engine on it like the guy with the mobility scooter..

 

[Cub.]

That was my thinking ......

 

[JamesBryan]

Did anyone find out who had written f**k Failsport on some of the fence banners?

 

[Panda.]

Some brave soul from Team Anorak...

 

[Cub.]

Yep. It was Tim_R26 from our lot. He went on a late night 'rampage'.

Lol. I kept seeing him everywhere, in the village and in McD's on Sunday.

 

[Cub.]

It wasn't a coincidence. He was stalking you after taking a liking to you on the ferry over.

 

[Christopher.]

You want the original file for budgies stairway antics Dom ?

 

[TimR26]

Mike and lighter fluid

[Budgie]

[Gorms]

We didnt have a clue how McDonalds works in France!

Tim get the pictures up from Saturday night and show the boys and girls how real black ops are done. No climbing fences, just lift them up!

​Here you go.

 

[Gavin.]

Did your trainers survive being dried in the fire on Friday Gorms? They were looking a little well done when we left. We we're just sat there laughing as they got blacker and blacker.

I put them in the washing machine yesterday. The wife was not to happy but they come out pretty good. Soles a little crispy but all good now.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Lol. Paul you were a ledge! Loving the full camo!

 

[Sam_K]

Had a brilliant weekend, saw all of your cars in houx, and saw the 525 on the firewood trip. The yellow megane sounded awesome too!

Budgie I think we had a chat actually, I was doing a late night kebab run in the audi estate!

 

[Panda.]

Is there an 'official' LM photo thread anywhere...?

 

[fil_b]

Properly makes you think/gives shivers as you drive past the little shrine/tribute area. Big shock considering todays' safety standards.

we only saw it when we popped to fuel station and realised we are at that corner. Saw it and pulled over to go and pay our respects.

gutted I didn't have a pen to leave a message

 

[couzens]
