What used to be a pride and joy has not been cleaned since prior to LM16 - absolutely disgusting I know, but, I found a new love veg gardening something which kept me really busy over the summer and autumn. Ok I had a few holidays away and an extra 20 days holiday from work as I gave them a years notice but life is busy at work as well. And now... I have bought a little fishing boat so the last four weekends I have been working on it to get it ship shape - finally on Sunday I launched the 'Sea Horse' with my 9.8hp four stroke motor, what a flyer, and I caught a fish on my first trip, well not quite because it came off the hook but it was a good size.

So old chap just cleaning under the arches in seven months is a little lazy get a grip and find yourself a real excuse to not do the polish on polish off technique...

Hi Guys
I am thinking of going to the test weekend prior to LM week next year and could do with a bit of info.

Is next year's two weeks prior to the race?
Are tickets needed and if so what is the cost?
Where can you camp?
Is there more access to the pits etc.

Any other info available would be good.

Thanks

I think if I had been sleeping in a car, other than an Audi, or had to share a one man tent I would have given your old BMV a push start - single handedly…

>Martini…LB

I thought you were going to go back for the tent?

>Martini...LB

You lazy blighter, it is not as if there is a lot of storage space to tidy up.

To be honest I think there is a lot of disrespect for you car which is quite terrible, I think you should ship it over to ma as I am a a caring person…

Try and leave the campsite more than once...

I got searched three times, each time I had bottles of wine or spirit but they were not obvious, the third time there were three large boxes of stubby beer and a large number of wine boxes. The chap said this was ok and I told him they were not being drunk there but taken home, either way he was not fussed. Maybe because I do not necessarily look like a lager lout, more of a wine slurper...

Me, if Steve Pyro reminds me

Leaving in 3.5 hours

Is there a site with the timing for the different classes/drivers etc.?

Arriving in France Monday

I will have to add one of those to my gadget list...

>Martini...LB

12 volt to mains inverter, on my list. Plug in a light if you have to set up in the dark or use to charge mobile, laptops etc.

I will do some chair testing if you are short of volunteers, I am known across the globe as more than capable of sleeping in a chair...

Not sure if you actually sold the idea Andy    Though you did say the wine would be chilled...
