Tour Encore 2008

Part 2 - Menton and Monaco

On arrival in Menton, it's straight to the roof-top bar for Happy Hour.	That well-known drinking problem "two hands and one mouth".
Cryptic signpost directs you to the stands from the railway station at Monte Carlo.	The circuit was open to traffic on Friday 9th, when some ShropMoggers visited Monte Carlo.
Cars were being prepared in the paddock, at the side of the harbour.	"Something for the weekend, sir?"
ShropMog cross the circuit at la Rascasse and stop for a photo.	Lindsay and Jayne try to secure an invitation to watch the racing from this gentleman's boat.
Back to Menton, a lovely town.	Out for dinner in an Italian restaurant. This lady waitress didn't understand a word of French or English until Jeff spoke the magic words: "I think I've just met my future wife"
Keith taking it steady.	Lindsay and Jayne enjoy some liquid refreshment.

A classy advertisement for the event this year!	We had ordered tickets for the weekend before leaving England.
For Saturday's qualifying we were in the stand at Tabac.	Enjoying the sunshine, racing and harbour views.
Busy qualifying sessions lasted all day.	Back to Menton and competition time in the bar - how many pegs can you put on your face?
... or in your hair	... or how high?
A feeble attempt to work off some of the recent excesses!	Sunday was race day. ShropMog were in the Casino Square stand.
The atmosphere was fantastic.	Racing...

	Late back to the hotel, we had a picnic on Lindsay and Kevin's patio.
