Or the days of Hans Stuck telling dirty jokes whilst being interviewed :o

Oh that was priceless wasn't it???  :D And totally agree with Herr Stuck's sentiments re. Becks beer - it is like making love in a canoe!!

I don't suppose anyone noticed but one of our buffoons got on as the final guest on the post race phone-in at about 5.55 sunday. I can't remember what he said but it was in the style of Sir Roly Berkin, late of the Fast Show. Something about

"Er blurgh blurgh... Bentley! Magnificent!....I er... just like great Uncle Tim in '33... blah blah blah... the the driver got out of the Alfa, arched his back and scuttled down down the pit lane like a giant spider!! Of course I'm very, very dwunk!"

We were cut off at this point as time had run out, but the RLM guys were howling with laughter.

Certainly did! We nearly fell out of the car laughing whilst we queued on the Chemin des Boeufs on the way out.  Absolutely priceless.

Has anyone tried emailing RLM with these feelings/opinions?

Here's the link to the website

Just please, please do not bleat on about impractical things -

May be,  just a note to point them in the direction of this thread.  
I don't think anyone has been really negative about RLM more like wishing it returned to it's roots so to speak.     It's difficult to put it in to words.  Le Mans is about being there.  Watching from afar is just not the same.   If for some reason I couldn't get to Le Mans I'd want to listen to RLM via the internet to get some idea of the atmosphere not to listen to the answers to some triva questions posted on the internet.   There is a place for it but not all the time which is how I it remember last year.

I think it was 2002 the we were driving to the circuit & when a goal was scored there was spontaneous & random cheering from cars in the queue, I to am not into football but thought that day was rather special  8)
