I think the problem isn't me, its sales reps like you going to le mans and then complaining about burnouts on pistonheads, like you you've stumbled over from mums.net. No offense.
Oh, macho bravado was all you had by way of reply. I'd at least hoped for some kind of justification for being an horrendous chav at Le Mans...C70R said:

If being a petrolhead makes me a chav then I'm the biggest one going.You on the other hand don't even seem to own a car. It looks like you've put your wife's car in your profile(which isn't a petrolheads car by the way).
Thank you for calling me macho, it really helps my self esteem. I'm only a petite 175cm, so it's very nice of you for saying.

Enough Chaps- Le Mans is many things to many people....just because one person likes burnouts and one likes decent camping etc shouldnt detract from a fantastic event yet again.
Amen!The burnouts were high class this year. I was absolutely gutted when the Toyota shat the bed on the last lap though. Porsche won because of brexit I reckon.

Cough, Cough, Yes that one 
Thanks for the complements 
Whilst we're talking about being spotted... It must have been you I followed from Portsmouth to the M25 two years ago? I was in a stickered up SLK, which was keeping as close as I(possibly)could, as the presence of your car was clearing the outside lane nicely. I was a little upset when you headed South on the M25, at which point I had no option but to continue my lonely trek North. Thanks for the complements Epic motor car.

Petrolheads don't do burnouts in crowded spaces; we tend to leave that to chavs in McDonalds car park.
Sadly some of this element are also present at Le Mans, and the ENORMOUS majority would prefer it if you stayed at home.

Was this your first year? It's always the same, why moan about it on a forumThat is why many people find a better campsite.
You are always going come across bellends as in life.
Just no need,for it ruins the whole experience of lemans24.

It does not matter,first trip or not why behave in such a manner.

Totally agree. The burnout, donut, red-line revving, tent-burning, fridge-exploding, 24hr techno-disco, max-power chav brigade are ruining the experience for the vast majority of Le Mans campers. Don't get me wrong, our seasoned crew can drink and party with the best, but we don't act like a bunch of tw*ts. That is why a lot of people are now using private camping, have abandoned the race altogether or just head to the Classic every other year because their experience has been tainted by a small minority. Years ago on Houx it was filled with high-end performance and classic cars... this year it could have been any NCP car park on a good day. That is why many people find a better campsite.

Agreed. Over recent years a number of noisy, selfish, juvenile tools have been binned off from MB. No bad thing, and the official ticket agents aren't worried about managing their behaviour up or out. DJFish said:

I was with you until this bit.Edited by DJFish on Monday 27th June 19:00
However, the performance and exotica count in Houx has definitely diminished over the years...
