Good result Dave, hoping to be on the 12pm chunnel tomorrow night as long as my tyre express all goes well.

I could be stuck in many worse places, La Cluzas is fantastic.

A screw in the tyre Simon, let go on the Piage ....no drama , just bad luck , as always. Did get to spend another night in La Clusaz, so not all bad.

I've skied in La Clusaz for the last 15 years, it's a lovely village! :)
Let me know if you're really stuck, I know a few of the ex-pat locals who might be able to provide assistance.

Good Videos Mike, I think this is the one you posted from Le Luc but from my angle. :thumbsup

Watch on YouTube

This is from Paul Riccard trying to keep Simon's V6 in sight. 8) And failing...... :lol:

Watch on YouTube

Then finally for now, George's high speed spin at the fastest corner in Paul Riccard! Pretty Spectacular!! 8) :shock: (It's at 1min 50secs)

I know, I still can't believe we had to have long sleeves and trousers in that heat and all I had with me was my winter cardi....... p.s. don't mention the shorts at Paul Riccard........ :thumbsup

Anyway are you not still on holiday?!

Yeah still on "holiday" if you can call it that, informed the soon to be in laws of what else happened on frolics and packing up Beata's flat here for now. Should hopefully still get a quiet few days to recover although wishing we just drove here in the Exige 70p a litre for 98ron here just now.....anyone fancy a polish frolic?! :wink: only one track (Poznan) that I know of so far though so may have to up the party games somewhat :lol:

Good vids D! Quite surprised at the gear selection differences at Le Luc however. I was a gear higher for a lot of it over yourself which seemed to make very little difference :?

I ruined Georges spin on my Go-Pro by putting my arm up :lol:

You guys need to ditch the rear view mirrors as well as they spoil the view out front for those of us who did not get to go and only have the videos to drool over....

D. That jumper looks just like the one you had on at KH back in May :D 8)

Have got a pass for this next year but heard or read somewhere else that this may have been the last one....surely not.... :cry:

It is the very same cardigan. :lol: :lol: I'm not old enough to own more than one cardigan. :lol:

There was a questionnaire going round for next year asking what we'd want so there is enough people interested, I think, it may be like the SPAZZ (Jock Frolic) trip though as I believe the issue is that the French tracks are becoming more specific on who they allow on track, apparently we can't do Dijon any more as they won't allow us on......... (not from any misbehaving I should add, it's more to do with the type of cars they allow on, i.e. not road cars). Paul emailed asking about interest too so there will definitely be an option. :thumbsup
