Post by: termietermite on May 02, 2009, 02:35:53 pm: Pathetic. If I can get there so can you. Flog your tellies and get your *ss*s over here in June. You know it makes sense.

Seriously, I know it only takes me 40 minutes to get to the circuit, so I'm cheating a bit! Will be sure to raise a glass to all our abscent mates next month (yes, it really is that close, chaps.) ;D

However, I am busy building up brownie points which should enable me to visit in perpetuity.

Otherwise, last year might have been your last!!

Yep, no shagging in september's a good rule.

Post by: BigH on May 06, 2009, 10:38:09 am: Well, I'm afraid I'm also a member of this sorry and sordid absent club.
I'm not sure how my body will respond, I think I'll probably start imagining the smell of barbeques, and be able to taste warm French beer even though I won't be drinking any at the time. And then I'll probably sh1t myself.
If the race is a corker, the weather marvellous and the parties lively, I'll be very pleased for you, honest!

Actually, just to be on the safe side, made sure I included August and October in there too - worked when planning both my kids ;)

And sorry you won't be with us this year H, kind offer of special cream not required as bike trip to LM now postponed until 2010.

;D

I would add November to the list as well, our youngest appeared 5 weeks early.

Post by: Bellend on June 10, 2009, 09:57:50 pm: A small portion of the long run Skinner Tours are running a "Virtual" Le Mans for the 2nd year (after 26 years in attendance).
Radio Le Mans is running (stonking work lads), Eurosport UK has again full race coverage (top stuff ES). the Bar-B-Q is running, the cold beer is being consumed & there is no que for the Karzie, which is nice and clean!

ACO, you ripped up Maison Blanche so bolicks, bring it on Eurosport & Radio Le Mans. http://rlmplayer.0157.org/index.php

Hope all that attend have as much joy as we've had in the past.

PS I understand it's raining there now, the 7 year syndrome denotes that the race weekend will be fine.

Post by: kiwipugfan on June 11, 2009, 09:53:27 am: As much as I was desperate to be back this year, 12000 miles is a bloody long and expensive way from Le Mans. No tv coverage down hee either, so the computer will be on Radio Le Mans all weekend, and I will be there next year no matter what.

Hi Kiwipugfan. Have a look in the 'streaming' thread, you might just get some footage.
