WOW!! 750 Euro's?

I only forked out 200 last time I was speeding! What speed were you doing?

And well done Jet Alliance and Lotus! Brilliant result for a brilliant car.

On another topic within this topic, did we get TLF on Martin's car?

Bugger me! 750 euros is $1,020 Oz. What the hell did you do to deserve that? :shock:

I got stopped once, on the way back. 3.5 hours to sort out but it was pay up or the car gets impounded. No evidence was offered, no negotiation to be had. I've a chap by the name of Stu Thomas to thank for helping me out, he saved my ass in a huge way thumbsup.gif

Sorry to hear that Bibs. Just got back myself, thought me and my father were in the only Evora's at Le Mans judging by the attention we got. Aston's & Porsches seemed to be two a penny.

I was surprised too having driven Lotus cars for well over a decade now, it was amazing how many people were craning their necks!

Hilariously, when I was trying to park for the drivers parade, the 5-0 directed me onto the route, lined with 250k people and I did a whole lap looking for the way out! Got some attention then too! :D

Dont think I've ever spent so much time in front of the telly. Probably the best Le Mans I've seen. Not as good as being there and really missed it this year but Eurosports coverage was wall to wall for the 24 hours. I actually recon I watched more this year than when actually trackside. Will be going back next year.

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

Did not see a single live minute! I'm a gutted looks like it was an incredilble race just like Mtl F1 race!

Happy one car made it to the finish!

Time for Lotus to focus on next year WEC and maybe had a second team for the WGTC! The Evora has the potential and it for sure has the looks!

Got back late last night after a fantastic weekend and made up for Jetalliance for getting a car to the finish and in 22nd place. If you look on Le Mans.org in a couple of the pictures of the podium celebrations at the end of the race you can clearly see my Lotus Flag!!! Myself and the rest of the Gobi Desert Canoe Club once again celebrated on the start finish straight with a champagne reception wearing Pith Helmets, Tux's and shorts. I"ll post some piccies later.

Bibs you can join the 750 Euro club on Pistonheads, did you get caught by the sneeky camera in the long grass on the Autoroute? We met a couple of guys in an F40 who had been done for a 1000 euros! Had to be cash no cards or car impounded.

Hmm, cash eh, ? And how much of that ever left the arresting gendarme's pocket?

I was breathalized in Arnage on Sunday morning, mind you I did have 11 lads in the back of the Nissan Navaro I was driving at the time. Fortunately I was OK, same cant be said of the biker who was stopped at the same time.

A few of us meet up there each year for beers 'n that, no reason why we can't organise a nice drive down there. I'm working on getting more people involved like I was, in the pit/paddock too :D

I would be interested, as would a few others from Kent (and East Sussex) I think - we have already spoken that we would like to do this next year.
