Le Mans disaster stories

[rev-erend]

What problems have you had either at Le Mans or that have stopped you attending.

Mine are - G/F had to have an operation days before.

And this year - she had fractured her arm near the shoulder ..

But we are still going this time.

Hope the weather is warm - the water in the fountains will be cold otherwise :D

What's your stories :

It's not a disaster but I had a little event in 2003 that I could laugh about afterwards. I'd taken the ferry to Dieppe and was trying to get to Le Mans using the SatNav in my M3. I didn't have the French roads CD however the UK map had major French roads on. We were doing ok until I left the major road we were on because I needed fuel. Having rejoined the major road I followed the voice instructions and we drove for a few hours and I noticed the roads becoming surprisingly busy. My mate piped up with "What are we doing in Paris?". I said "Don't be ridiculous, we're nowhere near Paris. It's hundreds of miles east of here". So he comes back with "So, you're telling me that isn't the eiffel tower over there then?". Oh dear. Cue several hours on the perihperique and probably the longest journey time for Newhaven-Dieppe.

Sounds like a woman satnav.

You should have upgraded to to Man 4.4 a much better version
