Only a virgin on 3 visits. The first as a 6 year old in 78 with the old fella and his mate (who still goes now and has been going since the mid-sixties) Cannot remember much apart from an enormous sense of magic and wonder. It all seemed so otherworldly.
Spent next 20 odd years pestering all my mates/parents to death and following the event from affar until my stag do in 2003, they had no choice, they had to go now.
Thats it, they are all hooked, once it gets in yer blood you're a gonna. The same crew made the return run last year despite it being just a week and a half before my first childs due date, luckily I made it back and still have a marriage. And a daughter called Lola!
We will be skipping the 24H this year due to house move, business comitments, weddings, growing up stuff etc. but will be going to the Classic a few weeks after.
I cannot imagine not going over for what has to be the best weekend of the year.
Long live Le Mans!
