Usual SE continental outing!! Tuesday night, met up in Dijon, out for a meal en masse, drunk the Ibis out of beer at night, talking the usual gibberish!! Sadly no barmaids with tattoos to chat up tho.
On track in the morning, enjoyed drive in Scottys 340r, track was lots of flowing corners and then one massive straight where some cars were pulling 140, before hevy braking for a tight right hander. Paxed with McApe, who demonstrated his usual exuberant cornering style, then wondered why the rear tyres went off !!
Tom & Ed turned up at lunchtime, looking a bit worse for wear, bad sign with 5 more nights to go. These youngsters cant hold their drink like we used to do when we were their age.
Usual other SE activities going on in the pit lane, Kelvin always with his rubber gloves on pretending to be adjusting something technical, and Robin touching up the paintwork on his toe nails, Mcape gesturing wildly with the pretend steering wheel, to all those that would listen to him, Tut staying out on track all the time to make sure he got his moneys worth, Ali analysing his last spin off, and wondering if he could export the shed to Nigeria, Scotty tutting at tut, Lawrence adding an air of respectability to the occasion, etc etc!!
Weather looked a bit iffy by lunchtime, we headed north homewards to leave the others waiting the rain. All in all a good day.
