Is this style of door coming back into fashion? It's quite an interesting draw, but for a family car is it all the practical? I'm thinking of parking in crowded parking lots where there are a lot of cars in close proximity. Will it make the opening of the doors a little difficult? Either way I can see there will be a few embarresed children having to call for help to close the door because they cannot reach it!

I opened my curtains this morning to see a Willys Jeep, complete in vintage olive drab with the white American star marking on the hood, on a lowloader being pulled by an Audi SUV trying to turn around in my cul-de-sac. That was a lovely surprise for the morning

I was really shocked to see the lead Aston just got head first into the wall with something like 45 minutes of the race remaining. It was like it lost complete control. The Audi reliability issues were a sort of sods law thing I thought. Audi are known for reliability and they ended up having all sorts of problems during this one. As they say, Le Mans is a cruel mistress sometimes...

I followed a great deal of the race and I think I'm getting a little withdrawal from it! Would be pretty cool if Ford honoured their GT40 wins and styled one of their 2016 entries after them.

Man that sucks. Did they show coverage of the finish at least? Broadcasters really need to show more of this race. It's a great event.

I was pleased with the Corvette win too. They were going into it as sort of the underdogs after the other one crashed during practice. After the checkered flag dropped they showed a shot of the lone Corvette crossing the line, and I don't know why but it was quite moving.

Well, another Le Mans is over with. I really enjoyed it this year and enjoyed the battle between the Audi's & Porches much early on in the race, but I'm a bit disapointed the Toyota's or Nissan's were not competitive. Roll on 2016! What did you guys think of it?

With under an hour to go two Porsches are leading the LMP1 class and the remaining Corvette is leading the top GT class. In the second GT class one of the Astons was leading but he has just, not 5 minutes ago, crashed into the tire barrier at the last chicane.

Looks like the Aston art car has retired and the Larbre competition Corvette too. Really disapoiting as I was hoping the art car would at least get a podium finish. The Corvette retiring was somewhat suprising as usually it takes a tank to stop them from finishing. My hopes rest on the remaining Corvette and the Astons to prevent a Ferrari win in the GT classes.

I'm listening to BT - Flaming June. It's a sort of trance track. Really nice it is and I might put it on a CD to listen to in the car.

Not long got done washing my car, and I did a better job of it this time than I did last week. She looks pretty damn smart now.

UK tv is not that far off on the horrible scale. Granted we get Eurosport for free but that's about it as far as sports channels go. The Formula 1 broadcasts used to air on the BBC or ITV (both are basic channels) but now they broadcast about 75% of the season on a channel that you need a subscription for. The other 25% of races are shown on the BBC. There was a sort of "freelance" channel that broadcast all the Nascar races a couple years ago that were all free to watch but the next year they turned it into a pay-per-view service. Was really quite dissapointed

There have been talks of Ferrari entering a prototype car for a few years now. Either they have been entering it in the parrallel universe Le Mans race, or the project was scrapped, still in development, or is still in talks.

I'll be honest, I am really surprised with how qualifying has gone. I saw both the Audi's and the Porches competing at the Spa endurance race and as I previously mentioned, one of the Audi's performed a fantastic move past one of the leading Porches. After seeing that I thought that there was no way Porsche would be able to challenge them for the pole position, but the reality is all there to see. I think we're in for a fantastic race this year.

Has anybody been watching he practice and qualifying sessions? Porsche with their 919 look to be a really big competitor against Audi this year. When I switched off last night The Porches had the top places followed by the Audi's and then the Toyota's. The Nissan GT-R LM's? They were running times that were putting them in the last positions of the LMP class, behind the privateer teams. I knew I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for it. Oh well. Down in the GT classes the Astons looked to be putting times faster than the Corvettes. And check out that Aston Matin art car. That thing looks georgous! There's more qualifying sessions later on today.

God help Mitsubishi if they phased out the Lancer. You think of Mitsubishi and the Lancer almost certainly comes to mind. It's like their trademark car. I'm hoping they give the next one some life to it and make it something special to bring the audiance back to it. Oh, and I love the Zero too

Today I had to remove some bird poop from the roof of my car. It's been a very warm day and was relieved that it hadn't damaged the paintwork. Why is it that shortly after you wash a car a bird decides to crap on it? It's like they know.

I'm currently listening to Professional Killer by KMFDM. Great song with a great beat to it.
