Ack. The blue car did only one lap before pulling in, broken apparently. Hopefully it can be fixed? Mike Sent from my iPhone

Sausage on a French baguette (which, here, is just called ‘a baguette’) with catsup, mustard, fried onions and pickles. Delicious! Sent from my iPhone

Beer and Hot Dogs
by Mike Drew 05 Jul '25

If you were anywhere else in the world, this is a place where you might expect to get beer and hot dogs. But this is France, and after waiting in line for 15 minutes I greatly surprised the guy behind the counter when I tried to order a hot dog. It’s almost noon and it hadn’t occurred to them that somebody might want a hot dog. They reacted and said if I came back in 20 minutes, I might be able to get a hot dog. Maybe.

Two Bentleys flank a Wolesely special. It’s worth noting that there are 10,000 classics on display from all over Europe and not one single trailer anywhere! They were all driven here, some from very great distances. Sent from my iPhone

This one-off very aerodynamic Bristol raced at Le Mans in the late 1940s or early 1959s before being turned into a road car where it continues to be used. Sent from my iPhone

Classic campers
by Mike Drew 05 Jul '25

There is a whole section of classic camper trailers being towed by suitable classic cars. The whole area is gaily decorated and they are all camping together. The Solex scooter was Steve McQueen’s runabout during the filming of Le Mans. He borrowed it from an extra in the film for the duration of the shoot and gave it back to him and he owns it to this day. The photo board has several pics of McQueen riding it. Sent from my iPhone

Tiny French cars are tucked away in one corner. These all have air cooled boxer two cylinder engines mounted ahead of the front axle, mostly about 750cc They are far from quick but their advanced aerodynamics let them sail along at freeway speeds… Mike Sent from my iPhone Tiny French cars are tucked away in one corner.
