Mansell to take on LM?
« on: March 28, 2008, 10:06:39 am »
front page of this weeks comic....
 MANSELL EYES LE MANS BID.
 He wants to share a sportscar with his two sons, says there has been offers.
 Are they any good or just trading on the old mans reputation?

That could be quite amusing, three winging gits all blaming each other for poor running and mum in the middle trying to separate them  ::)

I think they were racing in FBMW last year - had some good reviews at the beginning of the season I seem to remember ....

The Mansell boys are rubbish. They only get where they are because of Daddy. A while back a few CA folks were in the Forumla BMW tents and were able to speak with people in the trade. My first five words were theirs.

The boys did not make the expected impact in the F3 series last year, hense they have crossed the pond to race in North America this season. Won't take long for them to be heading back accross once people realise they are not daddy.

They should have stuck to golf ::)

Well Greg was 10th in last years F3 championship with a few 3rd places,  Leo only got in the points once and ended up 17th.  Soooo guess who would be the weakest link....  in a weak chain.....

Don't worry, Nige would give up after testing because he wouldn't fit in the car anyways ;D

You have to give Nige some credit, he was a racer. He was also the biggest WHINGER on the F1 grid.

Could this be due to lack of funds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Golf at his age doesn't make money.

I for one would be glad to see Nige at LM, he was a proper racer in the days that  F1cars were not sanitised, who can forget his drive at Monaco in god knows what year, superb.

I vote for getting Nige on the Atkins diet and then in the Gulf Aston !!

let the fat boy in and enjoy his racing, i always enjoyed his spirit and determination, despite the whinging.
as for his kids, leave them in the campsite and team up with noel edmunds and mike smith.....

Now that would be a blast from the past worth waving a flag at and give them an RS500 cosworth to pootle around in.
