I've been to Le Mans twice...ALL paid for, as I was one of the drivers for a coach trip out there, plus I was paid a wage, and the passengers had a whippy for us.
I slept in the luggage hold on the first trip, and scared the absolute entire contents out of the small intestines of one passengers in the middle of the night when he came in looking for summat out of his suitcase, to find a grizzly Bear in there snoring, all warm and cosy like,
and snuggled up amongst the bags.
Went to the Belgian Grand Prix 2 years later too.
Piggin' awesome!
