Le Man your favorite memory
Discussion
Hi Guys
This year my wife, daughter and son in law came with me to to the race, it was their first time and a bit of a shock for me, having the family in tow. The highlight was standing at Arnage Corner with my 3 year old grandson in my arms, and when the cars came into view after rounding Indianapolis, he shouted faster faster,and his little face was a picture as he really does love cars. The memory of the afternoon will stay with me forever.
It got me thinking, lets hear your favorite memories of your times at Le Man, there must be one special moment for each and everyone of you

There are some brilliant memories there chaps. It's just a fantastic place to be if you are a petrolhead. One memory of mine was 2003 coming round Arnage on the Friday, me and my mate in his Griff three abreast with a Caterham and an Aston, going at it hammer and tongues up to PC. Just lucky there was nothing coming the other way.

Yep, that was a good year 
......Apart from my Cobra shredding the 5th gear at 90mph 30 miles outside Le mans 
Brown pants moment as I was spinning around on the black stuff! Luckily I missed the amco and did not hit anything else! It was then I found out my insurance recovery was Void!
So car recovered off motorway $$$$$$
Overnight storage....$$$$$$$$$$$$
Taxi to Le mans......$$$$$$$$$$
Next day..Hire car (one way, Le mans to cherbourg) $$$$$$$$$$
Tow Rope...$$
Towed Cobra from Le mans to Cherbourg (with Hire car)! an interesting drive!
Only to find Brittany Ferries do not allow broken down cars onto the Seacat. Had to wait another 6 hours for the Ferry
2003....Remember it well!
