I love the Tour de France!

[JackF]

I think it is probably my favorite sporting and drama event. What's yours?

My wife has the same thoughts about the TDF - she wants to fly there to see portions of it. Any BMW's over there for me to see???

Nick - what's your report on vintage Bimmers in France?

There is nothing like the Tour de France. We were fortunate enough to catch two stages live on our honeymoon in 2001. I recommend it highly. Try to catch a mountain stage. It's a hugh fun international circus! We also went to the Ducati factory/museum in Bologna. It wasn't all about me, we went shopping at Prada as well

Otis's favorite aside.

I love WRC. I know, just another car thing. The drama is huge, the coverage is great and Discovery HD is going to start coverage in OCtober. I have been watching it on bit-torrent files and have my co-pilot at work (a non car guy) totally hooked on it. He was asking me yesterday if Latvalla was going to be kicked off the Ford team?

Another sport that is great to watch is Americas Cup yacht racing. Again, it's the coverage that makes it.

I like to watch drag racing for the same reason.

Okay, well, where were we? Ah, yes - beach volleyball. Here's the home version, for those who prefer to play along. Loads of fun with Candi and Missy. Caution - This link is NSFW (not safe for work). Unless you work for a volleyball manufacturer.

Wait a minute... this thread was supposed to be about the Tour de France, not the Tour de Pants :-).

Indeed.

Moi, j'aime l'inca-based pictures above. Because I think, in true French fashion, ze French women n'est pas shave avec l'armpits. Nevertheless, Jim, if you really must tour ze French femmes, here you go. Viva la France.

[jgerock]

You got me there Otis.

[Otis]

You got me there Otis.

Even so, Jim, I take your point, and am perfectly willing to compromise. Viva La Tour de Femmes (again, NSFW).
