Le Mans is life, anything before and after is just waiting...

... it's not the taking part but the winning that counts !

You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

To answer the bonus question: it must have been absynth, lots and lots of absynth. Excellent shot...  I guess you can't remember what, where, when and why and try to lighten up a piece of your history.  Grin

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

To take this one off at a rather wild tangent, this was taken shortly before I proposed to Mrs. R (although of course she wasn't known as that then!). We'd been at Silverstone for the "pre-Lemons" traditional in May and we'd recently been discussing the inevitable.

I suggested that if a Jaguar won the race (they were running 1 and 2 at the time I think near the end of the race!!), that we should do the deed. Sanity briefly grabbed a hold as to the inevitability of the result, so a sterner test was sought.

I hit upon the idea that a Jag had to do the business at Le Mans.

And the rest, as they say, is history! I proposed on bended knee from a phone box in Paris that evening, wearing nowt else but my Union Flag boxers and a "wicked willie" t-shirt. I disturbed her from doing the ironing at home with her parents!!!

Needless to say I constantly impress her friends with this tale!

And some say that romance is dead?

The official deed took place 2 years later just after the 1990 Le Mans, which was the missus' first LM visit. Of course, it was indeed a sign when the boys did it again that year too!!
