pinkprincess Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 If you're going to Le Mans, get your copy and go straight to page 76. If you're not, get it anyway and find out what you're missing. Three British cars (Bentley Arnage T, MG ZT-T 190 and, wait for it, the 140bhp SV X-power!) driven down to La Sarthe for the pre-qualifying weekend. Not just a technical spec. list of each car, but an account of the experience of the whole event: Quote 1: "If you own a Caterham, Le Mans is the place to be come mid-June. You'll be a tired and grimy mess by the time you get back to Blighty, but it's a visceral workout that can't be beaten. Those French N-roads were just made for a hard-charging Seven." Qoute 2: "Once you've seen the light, owning a Caterham is like belonging to a cult. But in a nice way." High praise from a 'mainstream' mag! I felt that their recent sad loss (Bulgin) might see this publication take a dip in popularity/sales for a while but I've just taken out a subscription. Roll on Wednesday...
