    Awright people, now that everybody's favorite french-bashing president has gone back to Crawford, TX, can we just move on and stop recycling he and his cronies' french jokes?

    They're not original, not funny and frankly often base on ignorant, uninformed assumptions.

    I don't go around making fun of your retards in Tennessee, your morbidly obese population, the fact that most of you can't place Australia on a map or believe in creationism or any of that ignorant shit. So please knock it off.

    /hopeless demand, I know, but ya'll spoiling my Jalopnik fun.

    The problem with Peugeot (and will also be for Aston Martin) is that they thought they could still be competitive with a 10 year old (or more) design base. So basically they're playin slot cars while Audi goes racing.

    The reason the French never win is because they pull over and get out of their cars everytime they see the white flag.

    Why are there trees on the Champs Elysee?So the Germans have shade when they march through town.


    Or as my wife likes to say - The only war the French ever won was a civil war, and look what they did with that.

    This is like some weird swingers party. The Germans seem to be dominating with the French being submissive and the Japanese late to the party. The Italians and Americans are there, but generally staying out of the way and just going with the flow.

    so petrol powered le mans cars have always sounded spectacular (supposedly, I wouldn't know first hand), but I can't recall ever hearing how this thing supposedly sounds/compares.


    Anyone able to shed some light (er, sound)?

    @nhubbell84: When I heard the Peugeots and the Audis at Le Mans for the first time, they reminded me of huge, weird alien jets. They sound they make is a low-compared to petrol cars with straight pipes-barely audible hum.

    Poor Peugeot. They have been trying to beat Audi since 2007 to no avail


    Not entirely true, as they beat Audi in 4 of the 5 Le Mans Series races last year.

    I managed to misread the first sentence of the post:


    "...featuring 58-year-old Hans-Joachim, stuck in the GT2 class in a Porsche..."


    and thought to myself that being stuck in the GT2 class in a Porsche isn't really such a bad place to be.

    @Leeeeena the Jalopchick: Aaah Der Regenmeister! Strange he's not behind the wheel of a BMW, but hey, at least he's out there. I had the privilege to work with Hans at the 2001 ALMS debut of the E46 M3 GTR. Get Hans, Boris Said, and Bill Auberlen together in the same room, add some adult beverages & some very nice looking women (not very far behind with those guys), and you've got one heck of a party! I would never have guessed Hans is nearly 60 except for the fact that he's been racing the most incredible machines (Ford Capri RS, 3.0csl, 320i turbo, Porsche 962) longer than I've been alive. Hans has this bright sparkle in his eye and an incredible passion for what he does. Man can he drive!! For all that talent, legacy and accomplishment, he struck me as incredibly humble too. Reminds me of Newman. Amazing stories!

    @boosted-lego-wagon: Are you guys on drugs? (Breakfast Scotch is a drug!) No, really, is English your first language? In the English language, when one says "A beat B," what is meant is, "after the fight was finally over, A was the victor and B was the vanquished." Now in 1921, who was paying reparations to whom? In 1946, who was occupying whose capital? As for "never fired, only dropped once," you dummy, don't get me started on the Battle of Verdun. The day any American Army not just endures but prevails in the likes of a Verdun, then, maybe, us Americans might earn the right to derogate French soldiers.


    Now if you're talking about the French vs. the Viet Minh, that's a slightly different matter.
