Worst "I have a 430 Scuderia" post on PH.

If that was the funniest comment you heard over a Le Mans weekend, then you are just not doing it right!

Ferry out of Zeebrugge, looking at all the wind turbines off-shore one of our merry band says:

"but how the feck do they get the electricity back to shore if they are moveable?"

"Bluetooth, how do you think!"

Thought it was quite amusing

Radio Le Mans comments about Belgian dentists in the Porsche curves... did anyone hear that?

[ali_kat]

Not funny per se, but surreal (to me anyway)

Stood by another Group's camp, all of us celebrating the Birthday of one of my Group (mutual friends)
Bloke - "Please may we have a closer looker at the Lambo"
Me - "I should have thought so; hold one a sec and I'll ask the owner"

I stopped & turned back
Me - "erm, which one?"
Bloke - "the orange one"

Just before the start of the race the french air force flies over with the tricolore colours streaming form the back of the aircraft.

OH turns to me and sys 'Oh look, the Red Arrows'!

A Brit next to me (not with us) as we stood at the Dunlop bridge shouted 'Yeah but they are not as good as the Red Arrows' as they flew over.

Raised a from the Brits in the area.

Pulling out of passport control in Le Havre on the way home and the turbo pulls a little, the Gendarmerie waves me down, leans down to the passenger window (which is down) and says "For you, the race is over. take it slow" I spent the next 2 mins while he had a thumb through my documents trying not to piss myself laughing.

We were down at Arnage watching the qualifying on Thursday evening, and the marshalls were waving a white flag.

My mate turned to me and asked "What does a white flag mean ?". I replied "We're in France, what do you *think* it means ?!!"

Vanina Ickx being interviewed on Radio Le Mans being asked if it was an issue with her being so much shorter than her co-drivers;

"No, it's fine, I just need a big insert"

Cue much stiffled giggling from Hindy et al.

I think your response is more about the chip on your shoulder than my boasting. At the time and given its delivery. Whilst i accept that it perhaps does not translate very well it does not give you the right to act in such a negative way,

If you have nothing good to say then say nothing at all.

Sorry all for this bit of a rant.

As you were men.

I think it was tongue in cheek. Possibly wasn't executed all that well but no harm intended I feel.

Lovely car btw.

We were in the Eurotunnel on the Friday, car stickered up with Le Mans stickers including a big track map with dates.

Belgian Lady says to her husband while standing in front of our car:

"Oh 24 Heures Du Mans"

-Turns to me and says:-

"Are you going?"

Me: "No"

Her: "Oh..."

She didn't say much else and climbed back into her Fiat 500 and carried on stuffing her face with dry weetabix.... Weird.

I meant to add a smiley to imply that my comment was light hearted.

No chip at all. I like Scuderias although the 360 Stradale would actually be my preference. It did cross my mind that you maybe the idiot in a 430 Scuderia generally driving like a dangerous twonk in Arnage on friday?

Threads that come across as boostful do tend to elicit this type of response, plus the funny comment wasn't really that funny, maybe you had to be there.

We spent much of the Le Mans week laughing, saw and drove some great cars.
