Le Mans 24hr - 11-16th June 2014

[Contigo]

Oh the irony of Benny in something ****!

All the years of coupe/spyder vs 3200 baiting you just knew it would come back to bite him in the ****!

Mine has done a 800 mile road trip recently and never skipped a beat

 

[dem maser]

Nick took his 3200 last year with no probs.....3200s are more reliable than spyders? Haha

 

[BennyD]

IIRC, the alternator is the same on the 3200 and 4200 so it was a generic part that failed not a specific one so I don't feel it has come back to bite me in the ****, it could have happened to anyone and probably will in the future. FWIW, I did the Le Mans trip last year and a recent one to Scotland which covered 1500 miles without it missing a beat and it's the first time in over 30,000 miles it has let me down.

Is that the same Nick that had to get recovered from Calais with several thousand pounds worth of damage?

Not true, Dem. He wrecked it on a speed hump at the ferry terminal in Calais and had to be recovered back to the UK.

 

[dem maser]

I know what happened to Nick but that was an accident not a breakdown....

How was the hire car? What make was it?

I can vouch for a few loud beats not missed when you were up here!
hope the 2 spyders back on the road soon.

Er... is that the cars or the owners, P?

 

[BennyD]

I think that might be the owners Adam; Dems nether regions very nearly failed when I took him out in the spyder. Mind you, so did mine driving that POS back last night!

 

[Parisien]

Did you get your Chevy back under dark Ian......stick a cover on it......


P

 

[BennyD]

I've just rung them up and told them to collect as soon as humanly possible. I don't want that thing hanging around too long in case it negatively affects house prices.

 

[Parisien]

P
