...<font color="003366"> Anyone expecting to see the R8 break official cover at this year's 24 Heures du Mans (the Le Mans 24 endurance race for those not up on their French) on the 17th &amp; 18th of this month will be disappointed.

Car's not gonna debut there. The focus at the race will be on TDi and the R10.</font>

Another hour-long debut filled with speeches and a gigantic sculpture?

RXBG

ok. i'll go back to my life now. see you guys in paris then. anyone book their trip yet? i can recommend a few good hotels.

..<font color="003366"> Yep, booked the flight and now have reservations at two hotels. One just off the Place Charles De Gaulle, the other in Saint Germain, a mere stone's throw from the Musee d'Orsay.

SWMBO will make the ULTIMATE DECISION as to which reservation gets canceled.</font>

RXBG

can't go wrong with either locales. st germain/quartier latin gets a bit more contrived as i get older but still pretty. my family and i stay in another little place near les invalides now....just perfect. and secret. trying to keep the word tight to keep availability open....around the corner from PMs house is about all i'll say publicly.

was there the other day. got the best haircut down the street the other day....

i'll send you a membership card for the R8 anonymous support group. i'm the president, you know. hiro is the treasurer.

I'd prefer to be a rich parking lot keeper to treasurer or president.
