Le Mans 2008 Team Spanner Mocumentary



Dear Honourable members for Dorset, Hampshire and Berkshire,




You will be pleased to know that the footage of this years sojourn to that 'French field' has been transferred to the PC and is ready to be edited.




However, as there is 2.75 hous, its gonna take some time for me to formulate the flow of the finished product and filter out the stuff that doesn't display clearly what good fun was had by the team for those 7 heady days in June.




I anticipate and am planning to have it ready for Christmas, yeah I know its ages away, but these 'creations' take an amazing amount of time to view, filter and put together.




Just thought I would give you all an update on the status.




Regards and best wishes to all.




Mark.

Media/photo swopping

Hi All,

Thanks to all for making the weekend what it was.
Special thanks to those that made the week what it was.
Trojans, Skip, Lofty and Jason, members of the Logisitcs Department, performed their magic and we had a camp containing unimaginable luxury's and for that Marsty and I are truly grateful. Thanks Guys.

I still feel rough.
Got a very bad tum, has anyone else suffered?
Maybe I'm geting too old?


Can those that want copies of Marsties photos please reply to this entry with postal address in order for the appropriate number of CD's can be burned and despatched?


Laters doods.

Mark.

The Toy Car is a Bit Sick............

Hi Ya All....Well the Cob went through the MOT with a little help from my friend! It seems she is over fueling a bit and the emissions were'nt at their best. Sorted with a different car on the ramp! Anyway, I have had a niggling water leak and whilst in cleaning mode over the weekend I found the culprit....See pic. The thermostat housing musta come from India or some other third world casting shop, cos it is well corroded and lost a decent chunk. Sooooo got a new one and me n Nick are gonna put her back together tonight. Also I have got hold of the engineer that built the beast and I am inviting him down over the coming weekend to give her the once over.
makes ya laugh don't it....There's me giving Skip n Lofto stick about the LDV's and the week before we go there is stuff to fix!!! Anyway have checked the weather http://www.accuweather.com/ and it looks good for race week, like 27 degrees on race day and a dry run down for Thursday......Appeeee Daze....See ya all soon.........
