Pity it's not legal in the UK to wave a cellphone camera around while driving

Lots of people tend to take their nice sports cars to Le Mans for the race when they're watching it live. The town I live(d) in (still not used to that thought) is right on the main motorway connecting Dover (main port into the UK from France) and London.

Drove my mum to the airport yesterday and the return from Le Mans was in full swing. Spotted lots of Lotus and Caterhams, probably every generation of 911 GT3 RS, couple of Aston Martins, lots of other classics.

But the highlights were a bunch of older Ferraris - a medium green Ferrari Daytona and what could have been a 288 GTO - the latter was hard to tell apart from the 308/328 as I couldn't see the rear quarter too well, so they might have been sailing under a false flag on the personalised registration. Made a nice change from the usual sales reptile mobiles and foreign trucks with the drivers almost nodding off while driving.

Forgive me if I'm bragging but we we were so fortunate as to spend three days in the Isle of Man last month. Five minutes down the road from the Douglas airport, here came a Rolls that was obviously built in the late 20's. Big car. Absolutely immaculate. Late middle-aged couple in long driving coats. Just tooling along in afternoon traffic, no other classics around, at least not at that particular time.

(The Ford turbo diesel wagon was fantastic and yes, I did burn a lot of expensive fuel on the TT course. That's the bragging.)
