Welcome to "Team Spanner"
Team Spanner has evolved over many years during the party weekend at the annual 24 heure Le Mans race in June, when they join the pilgrimage to Le Mans in France.
The Team is lead by Team Captain - Skip and Team Director Mark, bring the different parts of the team together.
The team has expanded over the years, and sadly some members are unable to join in the fun and frivolities as they are now on the other side of the world - especially our CEO - Cheif Entertainment Officer - Sharpy!! You can catch up with him at floppyflaps.com....
After many years Team Spanner have decided to get a web presence, to help the team members from around the UK arrange logistics (sponsored by LDV!!!), Team Shuttle services (provided by BMW) and our drivers race times from Caen to Le Mans and how many speeding fines they can avoid....
Update:
Driver 3 in his Focus RS - 2 speed traps and 1 fine
Driver 1 in his Cobra and Driver 2 trying to catch up (as they got lost) in his Lotus Exige both avoided (some how!!) pit stops with the local fuzz....
This year we had a handful of new members join the team at a wet weekend (luckily not as bad as Glastonbury!!) and loose there Le Mans Cherry - Chip, Lisa, Dickie, Alan, Jason and Paul!! Let's not forget Safety First - it's very important to have a good time, but safety is always important...
Oops - sorry forgot another newbie - Clare (have has my knucles wrapped!!)
More updates to follow and some pictures...
Nice One Julian...Tis about time Team Spanner got the recognition it deserves!!! It was a fantastic year this year, even with the rain, Update on Driver #1, I got flashed twice and still waiting for the Gendarmes invite for next year! Ya wanna get ahead get a COBRA......
