Can't Go This year
« on: January 09, 2012, 11:13:40 pm »
Due to the work load thrust upon me since New year, and the possibility of making some good dosh, I have given in(only this year) to greed. So I will miss LM 2012. I will however be watching on the telly.

I Hope you all have a fantastic Le Mans

Same here. My last year in the motor trade so have lots of things to finish off before I can start my new career. We are also going to build a new house this year and want to be in before Christmas. I will be heading to Le Sarthe for the Classic in July though so all is not lost.

What about the Classic Mike?

Lot shorter time away, I know we are down south, but it's only 2 days off work for us if we use the night boats.

Ditto here - it will be my first miss since '04 :-\
Meesh & I will be going to Rhode Island second half of May to check up with her family & ship her storage to Rotterdam from Boston, and I don't think we'll get away with taking a month off work - let alone the financial part. We'll be back for the 10th anniversary of DfH though in '13, that should be worth it! ;D

If this is cunning plan #1, then there's 6 more to dream up before one that works is found.

As has been well documented, sadly no trips to La Sarth this year for young Brad and I, but to coin a phrase.... Did I mention we are are going to Sebring?

Keep your S****** stuff to the relevant thread please, I'm on about cunning plan #10 for that event.
Will I ever get there? YES, but cunning plan 9b, with the guilt gambit, will take at least 2 years to come to fruition.
