Jimmy,
At last years Le Mans Classic, I picked my uncle up from the train station, saturday morning I believe and drove him back to the house to change etc
As we drove towards the house, south of the circuit, a couple of GTO's passed me, heading for the circuit. I thought wow, that's a sight you will never see again. Within 2 or 3 minutes another 3 or 4 passed us. No way, I thought, bloody replicas. I'm seeing a load of replicas heading for the circuit. Well, blow me, suddenly a gaggle of at least another 10 replicas came past us heading the other way.
Must have been the whole French, Italian and German GTO replica clubs.
It was only when I got to the circuit later that day, to watch the night racing
the penny dropped.......
18 original 250 GTO's had attended the event. To say I was gutted at being behind the wheel as opposed to behind a camera, is an understatement. Though I did get some good photos at the track of them.
