John,
Most Mondays I'm in a terrible state, if that's any help.

My hopes have been crushed by your mention of stuffed Jackalopes and living room walls, I was hoping they were young schoolgirls on holiday, and you were bringing a few along.

You're right, there are very few ladies in here, but I suspect more than we think; and a few making the transition. But that's the English for you.

You'll have a great time I'm sure, just don't mention the war...

Hey Tom, nice to hear from you.  You must know something about Texas by referring to our Jackalopes.  They are a little hard to catch alive, usually only see them dead and stuffed on somebodys wall.  But I will see what I can do.  I'm from Tyler, half way between Dallas and Shreveport, Louisiana.  
I gather that most of the folks on this site are guys, very few ladies it seems, and most are from England?  Any other Texans out there?  Or any other state?

Jackalopes. Very funny! See here:

We actually have something similar that goes to Le Mans each year. It's called Felix and his Mythical Commer Fish'n'chip van. He's there yet no one ever sees him.

Hi John,

Yes I used to work for TI so I spen a fiar bit of time in TX mostly in Austin.  I've seen Blue Bonnetts growing in the Wild and the Indian War paint.  But Jackalopes I've only seen on Postcards.

A couple of other facts about Le Mans for you.

1)  Le Mans "The Race" is actualy a British Motor Race.    We just hold it in France coz the weather is better and the Beer is cheaper.

2) Le Mans "the Event"  is just an annual party that the French hold for the British.

Yes Le Mans is a bloke thing.  For some reason the Women object to the guys using thier showers and toilets.  I don't see the problem I did see a woman in the Gents  once!

Pidge is from Miami FL
Fax is from Cincinnati OH
Dave H lives in Indian no place, but is English
I live in Orlando FL, but am English
and Phil lives in Canada, which is America Lite (that's gonna start a punch-up!)

We make the trip over from the US and it's pretty straightforward, but horribly expensive, given the strength of sterling and euro.
If you need a taster - get down to Sebring FL on March 20th for the Mobil 12 Hours of Sebring - all the key Le Mans players will be there and you'll then have an idea about what to expect both on and off track (actually, there is a lot more 'flange' at Sebring, spring-break, an' all).

Hey tmdg, I thought the French only had unisex toilets and showers.  I was looking forward to a reason to take a shower while I'm there.  Since I will be there for a short period of time, my focus will be on the race and the ladies.  Not necessarily in that order.  May take a break for a little food and drink, but not much.

Im sorry you don't understand the beer is obligatory..

If you check the small print on your entrance ticket it does say that all spectators must be under the influence of alcohol
