Good to see that everyone is so “touched” by my absence… :laughing:
But not to worry lads, I’m back! And I’ve got quite some footage to put on here…

I’ve been part of the Formula E circus these past 6 weeks, responsible for getting the E.Dams/Renault team where they needed to be, in this case that means Rome and Paris, the following races will take place in Berlin and Zurich, I won’t be part of it any longer though, since I’ll be doing something else next week…

Enough talking, on to the footage, the following was taken in the Le Mans museum, if you’re ever around, go visit it, for only 8 quid it’s a afternoon very well spend!

Morning Patrick,
Nice to see you back mate, did you actually do any work or was it all sight seeing?!
I was about to ring Interpol to see if you had been kidnapped in the Brittany area! Cheer’s Pete

Cheers Pete! Nah, was all hard work mate… Had to buy two pair of new shoes because they were that worn out by all that sight seeing… erm… hard work I mean…

Back on a Volvo next week then :wink: but not and orange and green 'un!

Could be a Merc as well mate… :wink:

That is a very early example of a front wheel drive, bet the CV joints would last long exposed like that!

That is some ballast weight on that rear wheel, you would have plums like grapefruits fitting that, no wonder there ain’t one fitted on the other side!

That’s what I thought as well, you need a crane to put them on…

I must confess I had never heard about that Museum in le Mans, though it looks as interesting as the one in Mulhouse! Thanks for all the pictures.

It does get a bit overlooked I think, although it’s right next door to the circuit itself, you can even park up the tractor unit on the premises :wink:
If you’re a petrolhead (which I am) it’s like being a lad in the sweet shop!
Have got that one in Mulhouse on my list for several years now, I really need to get that one sorted :wink:
