Tony and I will be there in a less formal capacity than 24hrs and we should have media access but we don't know how much we will be able to blog or tweet .. but keep and eye open .. The results are incomprehensible due to penalties etc .. but we will have a try ..

My attendance is now in danger. My service manager is going to be off for three weeks due to mountain biking shenanigans. I've plucked a guy out of the workshop to try and cover but frankly, and understandably he is very much out of his depth. I can't see me being able to get to either the Classic or off on our first proper holiday in ten years, which was to start the weekend after the classic. Not a happy bunny.

That sucks Si,

Can I suggest the pair of you hang up your bike shoes and helmets, that's enough biking issues for the year!

Bad news Si, though I think the main priority for you will be the family holiday, but you have probably already been told that  Grin

That's pretty sh*t so close to the event. Just pull the garage door down and go.

Would have done a few years back when it was just me, but it's grown into a bit of a beast over the years and I now have nine pairs of hands to keep busy and an ever bigger wolf at the door to keep happy. Shouldn't complain really, but it's at times like this when I really regret how my career has taken over the important bits of life.

I'd laugh at that but my busted shoulder hurts when I do. As for giving up.. No chance, it's just about keeping me sane at the moment.

Can't make it to the classic this weekend.  
Will be at EuroCitro in the second weekend of August though, at the Bugatti track.  Large meeting of Citroën oldtimers, first time in years I'm heading out with my father on a weekend.  He's got a few old Citroëns in his garage, this seemed to be the ideal moment to show him a bit of Le Mans.

He's got 3 :

- Rosalie 11UA (1934) with Traction Avant engine
- Traction Avant 15-6H (1955), one of those  Grin; this has the hydraulic system of the DS on the rear axle; little more of 3000 have been built
- DS 23 Pallas (early 1970's) with semi-automatic gearbox and sunroof

I love driving with the DS and TA.  Rosalie is a real bitch to handle, still learning how to drive decently with that one ...
