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.
