Paul,
In between 1969 and 1989, I have been at most 24h of Le Mans, as assistant
for Teddy Pilette, or some other Belgian teams.
If you mention a spade, what about spare tires, belts, tools, jacks, jerry
cans with water, jerry cans with gas, portable phones, ect, ect ???
And please be carefull if you dare to file a complaint, your team could
suffer.
Maybe one day we should compile those anecdotes in a book.
I bet we don't sell any in France :)
