Looks like some words and photos by me will be in the Autosport guide this year. Published on my birthday, 13th June. Hurrah!  ;D

Congrats on both counts.  It might make the A/S guide worth printing!
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

Nice on Sir Rick. I scoured the Motorsport magazine (which is excellent btw) until I realised I was looking in the wong journal. Doh!
I tested negative for patience.

Thanks chaps! It's only a short piece from a spectator's point of view, intended as a basic guide for a newbie. The original piece I wrote was 3 times too long so had to cut right back! Have supplied many photos and won't know which ones they've used until I see it next Thursday on the newstand  ;)

Thanks PM. More time behind the lens these days. Photos usually appear on DailySportscar or Endurance Info. Nice to put pen to paper every so often though. Must find some time to blow the cobwebs off MB and bring that kicking and screaming back up to date!

Hope all's good with you and yours. Assume you will be on MB again this year? We're on the TL site at Tertre Rouge these days but normally swing by MB on the Friday to catch up with whoever we find. Will keep an eye out for the flag.

Talking of which, as LM has been bumped back a week, I'm off to Welsh Wales for my birthday this year instead (13th). Going to follow in my dear Granpop's footsteps and take a ride on the Talyllyn.

Missing being at the test weekend already. Assuming the new Pilbeam LMP2 gets an entry for 2014 then I'll definitely be back for the test next year. Can't wait to see those Porsche prototypes!  ;)

Rick, if you're wandering through MB on Friday visiting Les W.A.N.C.S et al drop by at Camp Tres Hombres Racing, Row 0, plots 100 & 101 for a beer. I'll pm you my number.

Hi Rick,
            The WANCs have been conspicuous by their absence te last few years. Many of us were ousted from MB and now reside on Blu Nord where Werner & the Germans + Rusty and the Bretheren along with the Liverpool Boys manage to keep us entertained  ;D
Can hardly wait.

No beers owed young Sir, all part of the service. Don't mind sharing a few though  ;)

Phil, look forward to catching up on Thursday as discussed. If not hopefully see you on Friday at some point then!  :)
