The journey of one man and his Mule(s)

[craig]

I've just realised yesterday was exactly one year since this happened



It seems like so long ago, considering how things stand now

Doesn't seem like a year!

Was gutted for you when it happened mate, but you've come back 10 fold with the replacement.

It's was a horrible day on all counts.

I was in the office in the morning, dealing with last minute dramas for a big tender. It rained all the way there, heavily. The car counted hit the numbers we wanted due to a few things which needed sorting. It rained heavily all the way back, all the way to the time where I hit a load of standing water on a corner, lost the back end, corrected it but too much and the above happened.

It did however stop raining pretty much at that exact moment...

[Magic Beans]

Well it's been one hell of a couple of weeks. Le Mans, the Pyrenees, the company and the whole experience were awesome. A massive thanks to Peter for organising and the same to the guys who made the journey with us

Between us we racked up quite a sizeable amount of photos and videos, which can be found on the Facebook page for all to see https://www.facebook.com/groups/1374665 ... 0/?fref=ts I thought I'd share a select few of the ones I (well, Adrienne and I) took, without suffering crappy FB compression..

It's amazing just how much you can squeeze in these things!





The drive down was a little challenging to put it lightly. Rivers of water in the outside lane and car which kept skating on the water was not cool!



Rain passed my normal view resumed



Next stop Santander



It was a long crossing so the animals were eager to be set free



The first of MANY tolls and the point we inadvertently decided to take different routes



First stop for the night





A new day dawned and the weather was certainly in our favour









































Men and machines



A Hoff shot had to be done



Some pretty special roads out there





The view from our grandstand seats













































































Mr P cleaning the Monte using rain water















Team Delorean had issues when they hit 88mph





Pistol's new car accessory



Harvesting carbon fibre from the Mulsanne straight, after an incident the night before during practice



Being allowed to drive parts of the circuit was an awesome experience. So it seemed only right to park up and do some geeking with fellow drivers







Ahem







Trevor and TreVoR



An expensive incident during the classics race



These things handled like crap in the wet



Almost race time



Three wheels on the no.1 Audi, which ultimately cost them many laps and the race win. An unfortunate place for it to happen too...







Almost home



Very expensive sardines on the boat



Goodbye France. We'll miss you but not your driving habits and strange toilet choices



Check out the FB link if you're interested in seeing more. I'll upload some videos over the next few days, time permitting.

If you're toying with idea of going just do it, it's an amazing experience.

Anyone want to buy a Mule...

Swap your engine for erm......my engine.

[KarlBristol]

I'm still waiting for the 60 page for sale thread

[Ben]

I'm still waiting for the 60 page for sale thread

He's been writing the advert for four days

[KarlBristol]

And there will be another 4 days of car cleaning before he can take a photo of it for the advert

I'll swap it for cash money

I've not started it yet as it's a busy old time right about now. There's already a few people interested, so hopefully I won't have to type out a epic ad. I've lost track of what's on it at the moment, as there's been so much done over the months.

One thing the Le Mans trip proved is that the engine is mighty.

[pistol pete]

That engine is epic and just crazy

[Magic Beans]

Popped over to The East Midlands Festival of Transport yesterday with Garry (Kitch), to see what this year's show had on offer. As always I took a bunch of photos, which I thought I'd share for those who might be interested

The one next to the Mule with the carbon bonnet belongs to Kitch and a stunner of a car it is!







It's amazing how the same kit and essentially the same colour can look so different on two cars!





Clean engine bays





An interesting colour...



Mr Porsche and mr Trevor out to tempt me again!



This thing was stunning









Get low











Bentley wheels eh







Truckasaurus





Cleanest Delorean ever! Basically rebuilt from the ground up and to an incredible standard.











Another interesting VS kitted creation



Another one for my want list









One for you Ben and Pete









Mr Riot68's T bar, which just happens to be up for sale





And the owner

[craig]

Great pics as always Mr Beans.

[Ben]

One for you Ben and Pete

It's nice, but it's no 309 GTI

[Ben]

Seriously, though, those pictures are fantastic. I'm gonna have to have a play around with your magical software

[Magic Beans]

Hey, it's not just down to software you know



But yeah, a good post prod application like Lightroom does help. So long as you shoot in RAW and are prepared to put some hours into the post work
