Or you could bring her with you... Just send her off to the centre of Le Mans (quick train service to Paris too) with your credit card in hand...

Unless she's as interested in being at the race as you are in which case no problem. My O/H has been for the last 13 years and shows no signs of diminishing interest. |

She finds motor racing baffling. Mrs Sconefingers take on Le Mans- The cars don't look like cars, why don't they just race for 1 hour? etc. Why don't you race at le mans if its so good? does anyone else race old Volvos at LM? etc. Why does it need new tyres, mine last for years- it can't be a very good car? Whats the point of it? Oh he's fit - is he married(Loeb)??
I'd kill her before midnight. And don't get me started on Card abuse.

Like you my wife was not into motorsport, however due to circumstances, she came to the 2004 Classic, with me. She has now been to 2 Classic's and is looking forward to her third in 2008. Le Mans 'light' it may be, but it's a good introduction to LM, and the attraction it holds on people. |

I'm mot knocking taking the missus- there are plus points, she would be much nicer to look at over a glass of vino on an eve than some of the buggers on here, but Le Mans for me is the last bastion of maleness- where one can have under cooked steak and Stella for breakfast and give an appreciative belch to the chef, read porn and talk cars and past conquests, pick your nose and smoke 80 a day without fear and prejudice.
Long may it continue to be so!

Well, er, tough! I'm not going to stay away, even to please you s/f!  But you may of course smoke as many fags as me, talk cars all day and all night, and f*rt and belch as much as you like. Is it possible to undercook a steak? |

And for most of the above reasons , she doesn't want to attend the main event. Thank God. |

The cars don't look like cars, why don't they just race for 1 hour?
<JohnCleeseVoice> Excuse me for stating the Bleedin' Obvious, but it wouldn't be a 24hour then! Would it! </JohnCleeseVoice> Why don't you race at le mans if its so good?
I would if you'd lay off my credit card for a 24 hours. Whats the point of it?
Now that's very good question. If we knew exactly why Sports Car Racing is so good we coul dmake a lot of money. |

On the contrary Termie me old bean, i'm looking forward to meeting you this year, don't get me wrong, i for one would be perfectly happy for more female fans at LM. Its just my missus cannot understand the whole thing. Why would i want to sit in a van for 1200 miles and go without sleep or soap for 90 odd hours to watch a load of blokes in baby grows drive round in circles when i could be at Ikea or watching a nice film with Hugh Grant in it? It would be torture for us both.

On the steak front, last year I visited the Great Yorkshire Show, i got so hungry looking at cows i had to leave. Is this normal?
See you for a raw one?
