Funny moments from Le Mans.
Discussion
Friday lunchtime burn-out sesh at the Chinkie on Mulsanne that got stopped by the police only to have two brits in a Cobra turn up as British Coppers in the middle of it all and start ushering people around!
Funnier still when they turned around and the were done up in ladies underwear - Genious!!

Funniest thing I saw was the group of brits in a restarant in Arnage on Saturday night with a powerful water pistol. Anyone coming past in an open-top (or just with open windows) who didn't give it the beans got soaked
Not sure where the funny side is in that...... as last year deploying your beans got you a fine for 'excessive acceleration'.
But then I guess not all of us share the same sense of fun.
I personally would put 'soaking someone and the inside of their car' low on my list of funny things to do.
Sorry if I appear dull, but pi$$ing other people off is not part of the Le Mans atmosphere. It certainly was not the case 10 years ago when I started going.

What utter cocks.
It's just that sort of b0llocks that gets us a bad name.

wasn't very funny when the lead car in our group got a bucket full of water chucked through his open sunroof
and this was on the way back to the ferry! Bomber Denton said:

We were following a Boxster (with a PH sticker on the back) towards Arnarge when they stepped out into the road and asked the Boxster to stop. He did and they then demanded his licence and insurance docs to which they very nearly obliged before realising what was going on
It is a shame that some people at Le Mans seem to have a strange sense of humour ... on Friday afternoon I was going along one of the back roads trying to get back to my camp site when a white minibus came the other way and chucked a water bomb filled with what appeared to be sun cream at the car.
Luckily it hit the bonnet / winscreen rather than landing in the car. Even so it made a real mess which I couldn't get off with a hose as it was really greasey and so had to go down to the car wash - I was worried it would damage the paint work if I left all weekend baking in the sun.
This sort of thing is really pathetic. Needless to say, minibus was British in St George's Cross livery.

i have to agree with alot of this .. it was my first le mans, and although i had a great time, i though that there were some people acting the t
t ....
I am all for a bit of fun, but i dont think that shooting water pistols at a drivers face particularly big or clever, and chucking beer and other (less pleasant) water substitutes is damn out of order.
Was at Houx roundabout, and i am sure we missed some nice motors giving it some because certain elements felt that they had to soak the occupants before the "performed". Rightly so the went away and did not bring thier P&J's back.
now i know i sound like a moaning old bar steward here, but some of these antics did make me wonder why i was there, especially as it seemed to be Brits that were predominantly the ones acting the tool.
Just a small amount of common sence and a small dose of respect for others would have gone along way without affecting the "fun".
I didnt see the "Cops in the Cobra" but those antics do genuinely sound like a laugh, and harmless ... top effort!!!
i shall now get off my
and get back into my 
sorry ....

Well said! Ditto to that!

nah, you're right. I wouldn't mind a little squirt as it was very hot and t would dry off pretty quick, but those t
ts flooding the cars really deserve a beating. It was the same by blue campsite, me and my mate were on the embankment soaking all the kids trying to spray in the cars... great fun!The funniest thing for me was one of the guys coming back from the drivers' parade a bit w*nkered and deciding he would borrow a mate's clippers and cut his hair into a number 2/3. Problem was after two viper stripes over the top, the battery ran out and the charger had been left at home and no other charger would fit.

Someone did a similar thing to us last year as the minibus crew have done this time round. We had the usual water guns and the odd water bomb thrown towards us so naturally the answer was to retrieve our "cool bucket" and throw the dirty water over the guys brandishing water guns 
We did however have something thrown or gunned through the window which left half the dashboard peeling off. We have never sorted the problem and it still remains as a Le Mans scar on the car! I am up for most stuff at Le Mans but surely that is criminal damage and should be punished?

Saw them in Arnage when I was having lunch with Shnozz, Mel, Flasher & the others. They directed about 40 Harley riders through the street then pulled up some bloke for only being on a scooter.
One of them also tried to pull over a van full of Gendarmes who had a bit of a sense of humour failure.
Other best moment was at the roundabout on Friday night after seeing loads of cars go round smoking and handbrake turning to see Simon (psycobert) riding round on a BMX dressed as a Cardinal with a huge pi££ed grin on his face.
Funiest Moment? Bas in the white Mc Laren M6 with Gulf stickers!
We left the Campsite in spay to go the circuit through arnage centre,
We were driving behind Bas in the mclaren and some folks jumped over the fence of one of the restaurants so they where right in front of Bas, they then got on their knees kissed the road where he was going to drive over', made worshipping bends (don't know the exact word in english) got up their feet again saluted and let us pass. Bas doen't like attention so his face turned red hot hahaha, (need mentioning without airco it gets over 60 degrees inside the car) cops we're watching this laughed along and did nothing.
there where indeed a lot of supersoakers aimed at us but the bastards where so drunk they couldn't hit us. there was only one time we got wet from a water pistol, we where just leaving arnage on the main road south we both put our feet down and doing something like 110km/h, than a black westfield on the other side of the road doing at least the same speed managed to get somethning like a litre inside the tiny striker's driver seat (which was where I was obviously) we just laughed at the fact that he could do this while driving and being some 20metres from us while the folks at the restaurants couldn't at point blank.
no damage done so....
