I saw a Diablo stickered up as VMAX at Le Mans.

What a nice polite gent the owner was as I didnt know it was his car and he stood back while I took a photo of it.

I have a few cars myself including an Esprit V8 and it really was nice to see somebody with one of the best cars in the world also had great manners.

I think most people are polite and not arrogant if they have worked hard for their cars but I did meet a few other people at Le Mans this year (thankfully a minority) who were just plain arrogant and actually owned quite average cars!

Good on you Mr Diablo!

Speech over!

Roll on Le Mans next year.

No probs, in reality I was probably just badly hung over and didn't want to throw up near or on the car!!

....I'm starting to think that you must be talking about the other orange Diablo that was at Le Mans!

I think you'll find that I had just finished the beverage, as evidenced by the fact that there's still froth around the neck of the bottle!!!!
