My LeMans trip started earlier than most, 6am Friday morning...myself and my 3 week old (for me at least) RS4 began the journey down to Dover. I met up with PhilT, and a couple of stops later my RS4 had become a tad more interesting, and I was happier than a happy thing on happy stuff.
Eventually got to Dover, and met up at the pub with John (who's car seemed allergic to dirt all weekend), Tim (Buddha of Bling) and Gav (First noggy I've seen - looking awesome with those calipers mate!) - Phil got pie eyed on two halfs of shandy, and we got thrown out at closing time (taking our wine with us.)
Hooked up with everyone else in the morning, and the journey began!
My highlights/lowlights...in no particular order :-
Steering shake - damn audi dealers can't balance wheels
Seeing so many RS4's in one car park!
DavidT's S4 - superb handling and brakes, clean driving.
Joshies M3 - sideways action (oo-er)
Tim trying to get into his room after mucho champagne
James' dancing
Eating snails !
Heather managing to out-navigate us all
Pete having to wait for us in his diesel
French wheel balancers (the trip home was sooo much nicer)
Seeing silly speeds on the speedo
Watching people's reactions as 7 RS4's zip drive by
Thanks to Joshie for translating, and DavidT+Craig for waiting for me whilst I got the wheels done. Paul for the camera mount, although I'm not sure the footage will be any use (!) - sorry I didn't get chance to take you out bud! Ken for the help with my wheels. CBP, for trusting me with the crown jewels, and finally Phil.... for everything bud.
My first time meeting most of you, thanks all for making me feel like one of the gang and creating some lifetime memories. A great bunch of people, and anyone who's even slightly interested in doing a trip - DO IT, you won't regret it!
