I built a great set, and Bentley were able to lend us the ACTUAL no 7 Le-mans car for our centre piece!!!! IT'S HUGE. Turned up at the venue in a big truck with an amazing hoist/ramp. Wheeled it straight onto the set. Wonderful.

Yeah it is a monster of a racer, and while it was always going to be low, it struck me as even lower than I imagined. I reckon driving over a worm would've scrapped the exhaust! I've seen it running twice over the last three years at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and had a chance of poke around it in the paddock. Awesome beastie!

That's a beautiful little trinket you've got there, Mario. Looks like the real thing. Did you by any chance watch the LeMans race (the Speed Channel) the year the Breitling Bentley won? I stayed up all night, my eyes glued to the TV. What a race, what a car, what a watch! :D

I always catch bits and pieces, never making it through the whole thing. Though I watch LeMans it's not my favorite... WRC, now that's sexy ;)
