How's this for bad luck?

[Sortie 10]

One of the Jimmer Le Mans crew (who shall remain anonymous, but let's just call him MikeN) has an outstanding record for bad luck on the Le Mans Hoon:
2001 - all OK, but then he was a passenger.
2002 - drove, but mugged post-LM after hefty boozing near Bordeaux.
2003 - barbecued Subaru en route - abandoned just south of Calais beside autoroute, took a hired sLaguna for the rest of the hoon
2004 - reached Le Mans, but Noble gave up the will to live near Stelvio
2005 - hasn't reached the starting line in his M3, currently negotiating on a replacement car.

Can anyone beat this for a run of consistent bad luck?

Yeah.

In 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, I didn't go to LeMans.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, please accept my most sincere condolences..

Are you going this year?

Its not a run of bad luck but one of our LM virgins has just ripped his ankle and can't drive. What's more, he can't fit the crutches in the car either...
