don't know I'm afraid. i'm the other side of Donny in Epworth, actually in North Lincs but with a DN postcode.

I sense a post-LM session coming on! Where abouts are you then?

I envy so many of you going so early Team Monkey will be leaving it very late this year. Little Monkey has his last exam (gcse) on the morning of the 15th, so the old Alfa will be parked outside the school gates with me and Middle Monkey tapping the dashboard, as soon as he is finished 10.30am ish we will be on our way   Plan to liaise with the Time Team on the M25 and using our club thing (as was) through the tunnel and on our way. Camping on the way down somewhere arrive at Mulsanne mid day on Saturday.
Hotel Sunday night back home Monday night, but lets not think about that yet!! Can't wait.

Your Lordship- I get down Yorkshire way once a month with work and we test our rally cars at Blyton which if my memory serves me well is just a few miles as t'crow flys from Epworth. We should indeed have a post LM pint or ten

Will do Del - no doubt the boat will be full of Le Mans bound Brits and plenty of four wheeled booty in the hold.

Sadly no - both have work obligations I believe.

I'm hooking-up with the rest of our UK contingent as always - will plan seeing you at the Champers bar at some point in proceedings.  I too am sorry I missed Sebring (but not the weather before).  It's the first time I've been absent from that event since the late 90s.

Have you pondered the Petit in Atlanta later this year?  I'll pour a beverage or 10 down your neck at Le Mans and get you to sign on the line!

Steve,

Vehicles noted, will keep an eye out for you.

I wonder if the M6 suffered the same fate as my M6 did yesterday, gearbox died.  Not a good feeling. And what did the good old boys at BMW give me as a replacement whilst said M6 is re fettled, yep you guessed it.......a Nissan X Trail (diesel) !!!!!!!
