Couple stories I picked up on the net.. :D

No Concours car, this is the rental-mobile of Derek Bell.
He had the most unfortunate luck. After driving the 917 coupe on track Saturday, he fell somewhat ill and in the need to quickly exiting the vehicle to satisfy an upset stomach. As he generously puked over the scenery, he looked behind him to see in horror the car rolling downhill and hitting no less than FIVE other vehicles! He put the car in neutral instead of "park".
We were laughing so hard when he told us the story that we nearly lost our own lunch.

The famous Vincent that first reached 150MPH at Bonneville with its driver nearly naked to decrease drag, generating one of the most famous photos of all times:

Pretty cool, hey? Well our friend Alain de Cadenet had to drive the thing during a 50 mile parade in Carmel and on the PCH all the way to Big Sur and 3 days later was still describing the condition of his privates to us on the field at Pebble beach. Pretty hilarious and impossible to report here.
