Replica Cars. Naff or Not?

Bloody hell H. I've been itching to do that race but none if my lot wanted to do it. I'd have done a solo 24h if I had known there would be other normal people there. Oh we'll, best of luck and let us know how you got on.

Yep, it's been on my list of things to do for a while too, although I'm not entirely sure why. A bit like you, I couldn't get anyone interested, and the idea of doing it on my Jack is taking the Billy-No-Mates scenario to the extreme. There's two of us going to do it, and our target is 400 miles. We're in garage 22, and I need to look up and see which of my LM heroes have been in there before me, - I'm hoping Derek Bell or Jan Lammers, but might have to settle for Mr Blobby. Just riding somewhere without potholes that the NCB would have been proud of will be a pleasant change, although I don't think it will be pleasant for long. It's quite amusing to see that there's a 'Le Mans' start, with all the riders hobbling across the tarmac to jump on their bikes. I see that as the first hurdle...

Can I be the first to say "baboons arse"?

I had a giggle at that too - I imagine the clickety clack of the bike shoes sounding like a gaggle of Lancashire clog dancers when the clocking in whistle goes off at t'mill!

You could always do an Ickx and walk to your bike in a protest against the lack of doping agents that you were hoping would be freely available at a French cycling event.
