I'll post my highlights when I get home!! Still in the hotel room just packing!!
You boys have missed a treat with the Bilbao festival, you should have stayed an extra day!! Pure class!
I'll be back on Tuesday night so only 48 hours to go!!
Bilbao lost to Barcelona at home today as well and we nearly ended up going, there was loads of spare seats but went to the Chinese instead!!

All of it - cool, had a great time cant wait for the next
I dont think there was a day where we didnt have a good laugh.
The special stages were awesome and i have never driven a road car so hard and fast before, a mistake would have resulted in death. I have never had little ben quiet for the best part of an hour, apart from hearing the odd brake brake here and there. Of course i still had the throttle pinned to the floor!!! Those hire cars took some abuse and mine and Eliis' were never the same.
Track Close............ed was just genius and very very funny every time it was said. Stop stop, ok go.......i did a funny ha ha
The presentation and rolling peoples cars down the hill was funny, especially over PW's foot and then the "no sandals on the track" that followed.
The peach i threw and nailed BJ in the side of the head was class, the ruski's didn't like it though.
The parking fella in the hotel hated us but we got away with it for a while. My burn out in the car park while waiting for the swedes to reverse didn't really help though.
The congratulations between Ben Jem and his long term lover and life partner Adam skelding on the PA system on the flight home was genius.
Flaps came from when we were waiting to go on for a run, Spanish Tv were filming from the rostrum, i snook up behind the camera and just randomly exclaimed FLAPS!!!! over his shoulder.
Of course there was the window jump, there are videos of it which will tell a better story if it than i ever can, all i can add is that we only had the length of a matress as the ramp. So we did ok with what we had.
Robbo is a legend. He got soaked more times than anyone else on saturday.
I'm sure there are more, it was a great week and im sure we all had a good time and i am already looking forward to next year.
there are soo many funny stories from this Euros.
The one night when Otto came home realy over the edge intoxicated and i told him to
go down to the reception to buy water. . . . . came back 50 min later with water mumbling
even more then befor. . . . bla bla bla DC somthing somthing vodka =)
And i will never ever forget Bilbo Baggins the spanish bartender in the hotel
And when Lee Martin told the shoe, thumb and pointing game to the Reinheart brothers
that night i lost like 5 times. hate that game its not good for yaa
And DC for being funny as hell, thanx mate.
Didnt remember much of going to the chinese until i saw this picture :cry:
Would you like any coke with that whisky?

Did you bang any beaver ben, or just the bishop?:woot:
I forgot about the shot gun story.
On Wednesday evening, Mr and Mrs Sleigh went out with Nadia and Me for a meal in Bilbao. We had finished our meal and decided to go for a drink, but the town centre was dead, so Nadia stops these 3 fellas in the street and asks for directions, they said there was one 500m away and they would take us, so we all trundle off with them, it did feel a bit odd, she was up front Tina, Phil and Myself were in the middle with some guy from Valencia and this fella with a small but long box was bringing up the rear, so we are all walking along and chatting away being led through Bilbao when we saw a police car or police station and the fella with the box walks along side of me and says "the police won't like what i have in here" i just nodded and smiled, i thought it was just a snooker cue or a truncheon, then he proceeds to take the object from the box to reveal a sawn off shot gun. I looked at it and just said "nice!!" I think Tina went really quiet but Phil was just laughing and asking what was in the box?
Tina then spotted a bar and i said to Nadia we will go there, she was blissfully unaware of what we had seen and said no we will go with them round the corner, but i said we are going there, i think she said i was being rude lol. She is still adamant now that they were nice people.
The following night we had a terrorist taxi driver, but he was just a prick who hated the tourists and tried to drive off before we even got in the car.

In no particular order:
- a certain team driver shouting across the track to get his teammates to look at the Shock Absorber snatch
- Rental car madness: masses of wheelspin and dust going up the hill, with the parking guards cheering and going mad
- Seeing a Russian's MC Hammer-stylee pants being pulled down, picture being taken
- Tea-bagging a Frenchman for 50 points
- Seeing John S's naked arse
- Being told off by a lady from the organization for taking a picture of her crack and putting it online (whilst having nothing to do with it personally)
- Almost making a marshal barrel-roll down the hill
- Neil's insane 24.4s lap
- Pulling down a rather large German's pants. Twice. And escaping repercussions.
- Being in the newspaper
- Seeing the most complete and awesome vintage car collection ever - protos and all
- Escaping most of the food fight
In no particular order:
Tea-bagging a Frenchman for 50 points
Please tell me it's a different kind of tea-bagging to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teabagging
Yes and no. Same general idea, less nudity.

The Sweedish guys were great!!! daniel, aka bbq, what a star you are!!! Look out for Otto and Erik at the next Euro's!!! Toslo you are a star, mattius is his real name, Kenneth, I want to see you flying with your new Schumacher ride!!!! And the other guys as well, what a laugh we had eh!!!!
Lee, did you just randomly come up with "Flaps" when we were on the rostrum???
As far as the hire car thrashing..... I was leaving the track on the second day and spun the wheels going up the dirt hill, the guys at the top cheered me on so I gave it some!!! This happened every day and got to be more and more wheel spin till the last day when they wrapped the red and white tape around the mirrors on my car, I was gonna just cruise up the hill on the last day, the punto started to bog at the bottom of the hill, so I dipped the clutch to get some revs and told Belsten I was gonna cruise out......till we looked up and the same guys were waving their arms to get me to wheelspin, well thats all it took, I put the handbrake on, hit the rev limiter and dropped the clutch!!!! It spun all the way up the hill and out the gate with the handbrake on leaving the guy behind me in a cloud of dust, when the wheels stopped spinning we realised the guy behing was doing the same thing!!!! Quality!!!! Dont know who he was but he got it done as well!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
