First year was 1980, not missed one yet!

How many times have I been to Le Mans?

Not nearly enough!!! 

Much like Bob U I regret not starting sooner.   :( 

Still, I've not missed on since my first and I don't intend to.   ;D

This will be only the 2nd time I have crossed the pond to attend LeMans.  The first time was in 2001 to watch Shane Lewis race.  He crashed at about 2 hours into the race and my LeMans ended there too.  Can't wait to see a WHOLE LeMans.  Last year however, was my 34th CONSECUTIVE year at Sebring.

This year marks no. 25 for me  ;D

Started in 1981 (it was my 17th birthday on the Saturday and it was my present to myself!) and only missed 1985 (still hurts too much to think about even now!).

Old git? Certainly .. and proud of it!  ;)

A relative newcomer compared to many on the forum. This will be six in a row for me.

But what I lack in experience I more than make up for in enthusiasm!  ;D

You only had to take a look at Camp JPC last year to realise that.
