Worth more in parts than complete, that's for sure. Depends if you have the time and space to do it, though.

Regardless of the result, it was a magnificent effort from Porsche. In their first year, to be leading after 21 hours is phenomenal. Looking forward to seeing what Nissan can bring next year (hopefully they'll sack the team that made the dreadful ZEOD RC), and Ferrari would be a welcome addition too. Sorry for the sudden lack of posting, 3G decided to pack up and a WiFi was being patch. Immense race, even better weekend, loved it. Roll on next year!

Yup, got Anglesey end of thus month, then Bedford in August, then Donny in October! How's yours looking now?

Currently sat in the Republique square after the driver parade, with a cold beer and totty spotting. Life does not get any better.

It's all about luck. I'm lucky my old man did the hard work before I came along, so I could tag along. Sure, I work damn hard myself, but it's only on top of his work. Or you could be in the right place at the right time, like my Dad was, and do it on your own. All luck.

I jest of course. That's not a great place to be, but you will find a way through. It won't be clear now, but it will happen. Everyone is here for you, internet-based or not, we're still your friends and will always be here.

MTFU

It's beer o'clock, bitches!

All by myself

Bloody hell Russ, just glad you're going to be okay matey. My bro was off the road for a year following a seizure, didn't hand his licence back though as that just causes hassle when you want to start driving again. He got the doctors note telling not to drive, waited 365 days, got another letting saying he was fit to drive and off he went. Some folks have had hassle getting their licence returned from the DVLA, that's why I mention it. Time will fly though mate, it did for him.

Audi have confirmed that the car will be taking part in qualy tonight though...! Incredible. Marc Gene to drive instead of Duval though. On the train heading across the water now, seen a stickered up silver Zed and a bronze ragtop Zed at the terminal already

Looks awful, car is destroyed

10/10 for effort though mate

New legs would be my shout. Most awkward, but most safe. How strong is the boot at that point? Will it need bracing below?

You might be able to park in Blue or possibly Expo on Friday, but I'm not convinced you can without a ticket. I've parked in Blue before, but that was on a Tuesday. You may well have to park in town somewhere and get the tram to the circuit.

It's a must-do if you've not been before, where are you parking?

Shouldn't be too bad, few queues around the circuit itself (especially the roads leading to the main entrance), but acceptable. I've never had any issues getting around that time of day, at least. Where are you heading for?

Probably given you back the wrong car

I quite like London. Haven't really been there too many times despite living in close proximity, but some bits are lovely. The museums especially, and the South Bank at Christmas was beautiful. The Academy at Brixton is one of my favourite gig venues too, although I've not seen anyone there for years.

Personally, I wouldn't even want to advertise that I was driving a diesel Astra, and I certainly wouldn't be making up fake brand badging to that end. Leave it subtle dude, don't go down the M-sport route of trying to badge up somethings as sporty when it's not.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning, heading down to Folkestone tonight though to get the early morning Tunnel. 'Cited!

Isn't having the fastest Astra diesel like pulling the 64 year-old at the Grab A Granny night? Sure, you've done better than most, but still not something to be proud of
