Matt,
Grimbergen and carbon fibre wafers for you at communion mate. Blood and body of the devil. Remember that god loves a sinner though. (I'm not sure where I read that, and come to think of it, I might be misquoting)
Anyway, re your Porsche #29. You got me hooked on that one, and I spent a good while hauling around the web. (I know, prayer should really be the answer, but I'm beginning to think I'm transmitting only, either that or He really should go Broadband). No 29, according to various sources was a Lola T292 ran by Societe ROC, and rather unfortunately bust a CV joint in the 23rd hour. Now, a few sources had a Carrera RSR #9 starting, but no-one seems to know what happened to it. One site has it doing 3 laps and then being DQ'd and another, usually informative, site actually says "Did this car start the race?" in the results column.
I think we need an eye witness report (which rules out Robbo) or confirmation from another source before we can award you a CA quiz point.

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

Unbelievable story with the Porsche, even hard to believe for an atheist. Typically ACO. Grin

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

I have likewise conducted further independent research based on your response, your holiness.
I shamefully defer on the race number in question. It seems I'm hoisted petard-wise by a typographical error in my reference, the thoroughly useless, inaccurate and generally tawdry rag, scribbled by that bastard, Dominique Pascal. The 911 was indeed #9 - not #29. I should have cross-referenced and double-checked. It's an inexcusable performance on my part. Where's my hair shirt?

Steve - you are a quitter. For one as adept as you, at the snappy internet search, I am thoroughly disappointed.

Apologies Mr Brown - I should have been levelling my disdain at JPC - I do beg your pardon, Steve......

That's OK then, coz I've always been covered in the "couldn't give a rats arse category"!!!!!!  Grin
