I don't know if you are aware of this so this is a Public Service Announcement.
Today,and for the next few weeks, we as Le mans fans, are entering a very dangerous period in time. A time of temptations that are full with pitfalls that will bring repercussions for many years to come.This is not a thing that tends to effect the older wiser members of this forum but all you youngsters take notice and learn.
A member of our happy band succumbed to temptation 2 years ago and has paid a heavy price for his moment of weakness. We, of course, rallied round and offered support and sympathy to our friend. But, at the same time we gently pointed out the error of his ways and that he alone had the power to resist temptation. Yes, it is all to easy to forget, a balmy late Summer evening on the terrace, a bottle of wine and a romantic dinner with a loved one. One thing leads to another and before you know it you are on a slippery slope that will end in anguish and mental trauma. This will not only effect yourself, your whole family will be involved. Be alert.
Let the mistake made by our friend serve a warning to you all. For the next 10/11 years he will have to live with the question.
"Daddy, why do I always have to celebrate my birthday a week early?"
Yes folks it's 9 months to Le Mans.
Unless you relish the thought of spending a certain weekend next June in a maternity hospital delivery room instead of attending the Greatest Motor Race in the world with your mates.
SHOW SOME RESTRAINT, LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
