The road to ruin: Le Mans 2023

I refer my learned friend to 'onlyfans', where such titillations are readily available at the click of a button and the flash of a credit card.

So good to have such knowledgeable and experienced parishioners on tap for such helpful advice!

Agreed, but it’s a no cost option with no consequence over here and would support the bill of sale.

Good point. I guess the only downside is that it would add an owner to the number of previous keepers.

And don't get out and start dancing, mistaking those blue lights for a sign that you just arrived at the next party.

True, but even the best cars often go through multiple owners anyway.

#4 enthusiasts owners or #1 footballer - you decide

To be honest until I read this thread, I had no idea of the confiscation risk and would have definitely been in the danger zone on occasions ….

Just skimming through a discussion on Pistionheads on this. Trying to ignore the usual stupid comments, it seems important to have at least one spare driver with proof that they are insured to drive the car. If you get stopped at a speed that demands an immediate ban and no one else is immediately on hand to drive the car then it gets impounded and you don't see it for xx months and by then it will smell of fast food deliveries, be ragged or have mice living in it. Or all three.

Correct. Happened to me in 2014. Banned until Monday midday and 300 euro fine. 140 in a 90.

Oops!

Thank God you've learned not to press on too hard, though. Phew!

If nothing else, you've learned to send an advance party to flush out le flic. With age comes wisdom!

I thought that is what you did with me on the way back!

Enjoyed the collecting cars podcast where they suggested it was a Ferrari Sponsored Squirrel that kicked the Toyota out of the race, and that it was also mooted that Giovanni had a series of ever larger mammals to throw onto the track if Silvestro the squirrel was not successful.

Generally, Stevo makes a great advance party but the danger is that we end up traveling by ferry or farm track. You're far more reliable.
