M5 and 6 go to LeMans

Thought that you guys would appreciate a couple of pics from this years lemans. There was a thread a week or so ago about cars going down, which I was going to attach these to, but it seems to have vanished. A guy snapped the 5 and 6 coming out of a payage north or Rouen and passed to me via Pistonheads, and the other of the 6 is taken from the 5.

Still waiting on photos of of the 5 from the other cars, and will add to this popat when I have them.

If anyone went this year, then I hope you have dried out. This was my 7th lemans, and other than 2001 was by far the wettest yet. Still, made the racing interesting.

Car was spot on. I cant believe how much better it was with the two new shocks. Engine running strongly on that lovley French Super petrol, and the handling rock solid.

It did develop the old shimmy again under high speed breaking, but this was explained when I got home to find one of the wheel weights sitting on the drive. Back to the wheel bods for fixing. Again.

Also, I enjoyed it so much that it now needs a new clutch. Its booked in for this sat. Hopefully thats the last of the spending for a while.
