The "B" word

From what I understood we shouldn't mangle with "the Fools on the Hill"

What a bunch of tosse*s

Hang on, there's normal people too!

Yes I have to agree with you Oldtimer, any thoughts I had of going to Australia's greatest motor race have been filed permanently in the bin. Looks like it is attended by complete w+nkers if those clips are anything to go by.

Hang one a minute!  Don't tar everyone with the same brush. 

Imagine you met someone for the first time and all they'd heard or seen of Le Mans were stories or pictures of some of the antics at Houx Annex roundabout on a Friday night in recent years.  How would you feel if as soon as you said you went to Le Mans they instantly judged you based on those images?

Okay so babelfish isn't an exact science but it's spooky......we were nearly word for word on that!

I totally agree, although I'm not that allergic to childish fun at race tracks as some others may be. For me, it's part of the experience to see what the event is all about in a totally different part of the world. I'll try to keep some sort of safe distance though, if that's possible.

I think on every racetrack you will find people that are a bit rough around the edges, but as long as they do not bother other people, why give a damn. Looks like to much of a good time for me, so I would keep my distance, but then again, I'm not going so, I should be save at home

Maybe I should copy my Sebring-plan Oz-style: fly to Perth, rent a car, drive to Bathurst and drop the car at Sydney on the way out

Yes fair comment Doris they would think I was a wa+ker - and based on what goes on at HA roundabout I would not blame them at all.
