9 years since our last trip, we eventually squeezed in a whirlwind trip to the Le Mans 24 hour race. After a 3 hour trip to Folkestone and a 4 hour train delay, we then had a miserable 5 1/2 hour journey in our old 62 through the pouring rain. The old girl didn't miss a beat though, save for a cracked headlight lens.

I don't think I ever saw the car so dirty, of course we didn't take any car cleaning gear so it stayed mucky all weekend, so I was surprised to beat a very clean 59 in the C1 concours!

The race wasn't too great for Corvette fans, but we had a good weekend, and the trip home was much more favourable with top down weather all the way!

Heres my travelling companion, Tony in his new 911. I bet these looked an odd couple cruising down the autoroutes.
