    Have a great time Andy. I drove past Le Mans on the way to Le Tour in the Loire Valley last year with the family it's a nice area. You might find the following amusing :-)

    THE FERRARI FORMULA 1 TEAM fired their entire Pit Crew yesterday.
    The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the
    British Governments "Work for the Dole" scheme and hire unemployed MACKEM youths from Silksworth.
    The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent TV documentary
    about how unemployed Sunderland youths in Silksworth were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tech gear.
    This was thought to be an excellent, yet bold, move by Ferrari
    Management.As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferarri should have an advantage over every team.
    However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for!
    During the Mackem crew's first practice session, not only were they
    able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren Team for four dozen cans of Special Brew, a gram of coke and a shufty at Coulthard's bird in the shower!!
