I suspect that the drop off rate for old timers is high this year :(
Its just not as much fun as it used to be, and the ACO are such hard work for nothing. Plus for the Brits, do we really care if Audi or Peugeot win, and the booze isn't cheap any more. Its a lot of effort
Our team appears to be disbanding, so it may just be me next year, if I can be bothered. For the same money I can go somewhere else and watch the videos

Im blaming it on the credit crunch and gordon brown ::)
Give it a couple of years of not going and im sure it will regain its magic ;D
-
I'm blaming Gordon Brown for everything as he's frozen the banking system, and if the current idiots do anything there'll be an avalanche
-
Im also scratching around to justify it this year - it's an awesome weekend, but for the money, we could go somewhere we've never been before - booze isn't that cheap, the weather is never guaranteed and with resources dwindling, it might be the last one for a while.
But I think I've said that most years, and I only missed last year because of my wedding......

Add to that the fact that you are "Official Founder of the "I'm never missing Le-Mans again" club....." and I'm guessing you'll be there next year!! ;-)
-
I missed last year for the 1st time (to get wed) in 7 and trust me when it came 3pm on Saturday sitting watching the start on Europsort I said never again will I miss this. This year the anticipation is far greater as a result
Stay away for a year only makes the hunger come back.
-
Just got my holiday schedule this morning for my training at gosport next year. Thursday night to monday could be done next year as long as funds allow it ;D

Oyi, I bought you up better than this, try planning in advance....you'll be there.

I will keep the lights on, in Guernsey, until I go to the Isle of Man next week on a corporate do AND i have a photographers pass for the racing... how good is that. Sad to be miss the LM24 but will be going to the Classic with a great bunch of guys from the North East - Alfa fans and drivers.

See you at the Classic, are you on MB?
-
We're off to LM ! See you guys over there ... for those who can't make it, you will be flooded with pictures ;D
Probably back online on Mondayevening !
-
Have a safe trip , see you in a field in France.
-
Will be leaving within the hour, all packed up ( I'm still amazed how it all fits in the quattro ) and ready to go.
Had a good day at Chatsworth and for once it was sunny with no rain !! The usual collection of some trying to protect their priceless toys , and the nutters at the water splash wihthout any water giving it large and taking to the grass for 50yds or so just missing the rather solid trees! The guys in the " buggies " were loopy, putting it mildly!!
Looking forward to seeing some of you over the water, have a safe trip everybody !!
-
I hate this bit - the stories of everyone leaving early, and being itching to get out there......
My the party planning and building commence!
-
See you at the Classic, are you on MB?
Hi Bazzer, I am at the LazyB ranch on MB with Dr Sconefinger and his northern chums.
See you there, this year I am going to make a huge effort to visit more cars and see more racing. I am in training at the moment as it is 10.30 on a sunday morning and I have not had a drink, Sconey is in training too, in Devon on holiday with his family. It's a hard life.

The sun's trying to peep throught the clouds so we're setting off for Jacobins shortly. Please don't turn off those lights as I should be back later with a few pics (assuming no repeat of last year when I discovered my poor camera had suffered more than I'd realised in the crash. Never mind, nice new D300 to play with ;D - there has to be some compensation).
All those leaving today - drive carefully and beware of the flics (don't forget they like motorway services areas and their 50/30 limits too!)
-
Right - its finally stopped raining in Manchester long enough to get the car packed up! Managed to squeeze the pushbike in (although it seems much bigger and heavier than my previous pushies....)
Should be leaving in about half an hour and getting to Expo Tuesday afternoon (scenic route, not Sunday driver, honest .....) - just got to re-re-check "The Folder"!
Safe journey everyone, see you over there...... :)

I'll be at work... Mrs is away this week though so spent yesterday afternoon/evening on some very strong cider, went to one of the local Indian's for the buffet Sunday lunch and I have a night planned out on Wed to a blues piano gig in Marlow (or somewhere that way). Will be checking in here though...
-
I'll be off within the hour. Decided to leave everything until today and can't find everything. I'll survive though. Got the tickets passport and breakdown so I'll see everyone tomorrow afternoon.
Safe Journey everyone.
-
Have a safe trip
-
stomach has butterflies, my excitement level has built to overflowing, the packing is half done, the car already has no room, and I still need to think about clothing.....DOH!!

Fancy driving the support vehicle at the IoM TT?

Wheres my van keys??? Im sure she wont even notice im missing till at least saturday ::)
I miss french rain and mud ;D
-
Do it. If she kicks off, I have a big spade, and a large supply of concrete - she'd make a great foundation for a new patio......
You're a scouser - surely you can just pretend someone mugged you and held you hostage for 6 days?? That sort of thing happens all the time in Scouse land doesn't it?!? :)
-
Brad, he is only an honorary Scouser, Mike, is a proud Scot.
-
Im a Scottish based addopted scouser ;D its a lot safer in my neck of the woods :P
