Seriously speaking this kind of puzzle is great because you're bringing back to the front of the scene under considered drivers or shy ones. Please go on and thanks again. En cette période de fêtes, je me permets d'ajouter vive la France et les boudins cuits!

Soon, Gerard (there's a clue) we will not be able to use un pigeon, as it will be against the EU rules to export birds to France without a permit.

Let us hope that fraternal relationships will not be affected by the completion of Brexit.

Ami Robert.

Merci Messieurs les Anglais, vous incarnez parfaitement le fighting spirit et le fair play. Quelle classe, quel talent, il me plaît Ã* le souligner. En tant que représentant de la belle France je vous salue bien bas. Pour les haggys et le plum pudding, en revanche, on va éviter…

Please try to answer bauble's #556 question. If I'm right may be you could refer to a certain friendship displayed here between two men, two friends. Et s'il vous plaît, qu'il ne soit pas question de sexe n'est-ce pas! Messieurs les Anglais, tirez les premiers! Boooom…

Bob will tell us when he is ready but it is much easier when you know the T39 should be a T44.

He was also involved with the first AC/Shelby Cobra's.
Sorry to pick up on an old comment, but this was thoroughly debunked in Motor Sport a month or two back. Lovely romantic story but the facts and lap charts don't match apparently.

Max? I dont recommend you watch the movie Le Mans 66 then…

Back in the day, we had few scrutineers to watch over our shoulder. How do I know? I did several night laps on a Honda during a famous enduro held at Montlhéry just because we couldn't find the official rider, either asleep or having a love affair in the bushes around!
Now we have electronic devices on the helmet or the wrist to attest who's driving at a given moment of the race.
Je peux le dire maintenant, il y a prescription. Parfois, la réalité dépasse la fiction. Happy days!

What's your answer to #556 question? One clue: not Tintin, not Haddock, not Milou…*

Gerard I'll try to find the article online, but basically the author looked at the official journal of the race, and all the laps were at Gregory's pace faster than the other guy had ever driven in his life.
