I meant to post this earlier...just a bit of fun.

Did anyone notice the road sign, as you were leaving the pits to go through the tunnel to the car park ?

It was a circle, red border, with something like "Please drive carefully" written within the red border.

A circle with a red border means dont.

No cycling, dont exceed 30 etc.

So they were actually telling you DONT please drive carefully.

It would need to be a triangle to achieve what they meant it too.

Right time to go out, wheres my anorack lol

Pity you had no camera.

I remember a stretch of road in Dublin that ran by DCU (for those that are familiar with the area). Anyway, this stretch had the speed limit increased from 30 to 40. However, all along the way "slow down" was painted along the road.
Local authorities with sense? It'll never happen!

I seem to remember a sign saying something like exhaust apreciation tunnel enjoy just before you enter the tunnel.  Needless to say i let the straight six snarl.
