Watching the Le Mans coverage and the Diesels are whooping the petrol cars asses...

Alexander Wurz is driving a Peugeot and has had a few problems witht he cars gearbox and has lost 5 or 6 laps on the leaders (no spoilers).

He's being interviwed by some blonde in the pits and she comments on the leaders setting a blistering pace and him being 6 laps down.... she asks him what he ahs in mind to close the gap...... in his thick austrian accent (imagine Arnold Schwarzanegger) he replies...... I'm going to drive it like I stole it

What a star

best family car i've had since i needed it. having the newage you'll have the isofix points in the rear. much safer for the baby seat.

The whole reason I brought a scooby in the first place was a compromise, it was a nice 4 door family car with a boot for the pram

It also helped with charlottes development as well as it strengthened her neck muscles

baby will already be used to it mate. when i sold the silver scoob for the astra coupe samuel wouldn't go to sleep in the car. as soon as i sold the astra and got the ra, he started to fall asleep in the car again.

Got back from Le Mans about four hours ago... awesome weekend... Will say it is one of those things you have to do before you die.

Watching the cars scream past in the dark is something else! The sound of the petrol ones is awesome, followed by the spooky quiet diesel cars that seem to fly by making a quiet hum....

Award for best noise goes to the Corvette... sounded like a Spitfire going past!! Got some cracking pics, which I'll hopefully get up in the next week or so...
