There is a town in Austria called FUC-KING ..... no joking . They are always getting peed off because the signs are always going missing .

I do not expect to get a warning for this post either ..... check it out yourself !!!

Peter Dunne · 16 Feb 2010, 13:46 (Ref:2634375)

Priceless. I needed a good laugh. Thanks

2 Le Mans signed for £1000 or an 'official' issue Bentley coveralls for £740, which is more nuts? They have some other Bentley crew shirts as well but a little less crazy prices.

Plenty of interesting stuff and some going back to before I was born, and that makes it seriously old.

I'm pretty sure the signs are the real deal - but I think they are nicked. Its easy to do (No I have not!).

**Aysedasi** · 12 Apr 2010, 14:53 (Ref:2671462)

How about this one on Ebay?

You'll note no mention of provenance.....

I thought Provance was further south???

(OK, I'll get me coat...)

Oreca had parts of their Courage, R8 and Dallara up for sale a while ago. All under 1000 Euros. A complete rear wing or another large part would really look great in my office, and it would be amazing to have a close look at the carbon fiber... When I grow up!

**Aysedasi** · 12 Apr 2010, 17:44 (Ref:2671540)

Yeah, but the engine cover of the 1991 Le Mans winning car? The only Japanese car ever to win Le Mans? I just don't see Mazda letting this go - surely?????

Victor_RO · 12 Apr 2010, 17:46 (Ref:2671543)

Maybe it was a panel from of a spare nose and was never actually used on the car? (It's a nose hatch, not from the engine area)

Down F0rce · 12 Apr 2010, 17:47 (Ref:2671545)

Last year, I pocketed some gravel from the turn one gravel trap as a keepsake (yeah, I know...). Maybe I'll bring a huge sack with me and sell it off by the pound on eBay...?

**Aysedasi** · 12 Apr 2010, 18:09 (Ref:2671558)

Been done hasn't it? Or close - some guy was selling rubber 'marbles' on Ebay 2-3 years ago.... I don't think he was selling many......

GT6 · 13 Apr 2010, 07:23 (Ref:2671817)

I could find room for the bonnet in my garage but some gravel and bits of rubber collected by someone else are taking things a little to far.

Not sure mum would appreciate that! At least the bits of rubber are slightly easier to hide and deny purchasing!

Pilgrimage · 16 Apr 2010, 12:03 (Ref:2673588)

Dirt from Houx last year including bits of green stubby glass and firework debris was really funny.

iucrmh · 16 Apr 2010, 12:08 (Ref:2673590)

I very much doubt that is from the winning car, simply because it has the wrong number on it. The winning car was number 55, that looks like it starts with a 2 and is therefore probably
from a different year, and not 1991.

Victor_RO · 16 Apr 2010, 12:15 (Ref:2673592)

20-something? That makes it '89 or '90 therefore.

The picture with the eBay advert shows number 203. If so, then it might be the GTP class winner of 1990.

Victor_RO · 16 Apr 2010, 16:16 (Ref:2673743)

Well there's three cars that ran Le Mans with a race number of 20-something and the orange and green of Renown, the 767 which won GTP in '90 and also raced in '89 (#203, chassis 767-003 according to RacingSportsCars), another 767 which beat it in '89 and one of the broken 787s from '90 (202)... you can't always fully trust the eBay advert. Since we're talking about an ad which ended up listed here, it should be trustworthy, but... you never know.

**Aysedasi** · 16 Apr 2010, 16:49 (Ref:2673756)

Oh, I never said anything about it being trustworthy - my thought was entirely to the contrary.....

Victor_RO · 16 Apr 2010, 17:59 (Ref:2673802)

So it's a panel which could have come from three different cars, that's all we can settle on.

By the way, I've just remembered something from last year's RLM coverage, and apparently a fan made off with the garage header board from the winning car('s garage). Any sign of that surfacing on any auction website and being sold for a load of money?

I've got some gravel & rubber (picked off the kerbs) from the final chicane from 2005-any takers??!

I remember that too. Wheh I heard it, it reminded me of the 'we will be back' boards from the Silk Cut Jaguar pits that were removed by fans after the race in 1986....

**PascaLM** · 17 Apr 2010, 10:40 (Ref:2674134)

I was in front of the Jaguar pits when this was written... good souvenir.
