I'm watching MotorsTV's coverage of the 2006 race week  :P
I've never been so glad that I recorded it :P :)

I got a green light
Not afraid of nothin' cuz heart and soul

Had confirmation that Princess Alex's EU Id is valid instead of a passport at Pompey docks. So that means that that Pig Pen Racing is fully charged and ready for action. Bring it on ;D oh and I have my new passport too ;D Just gotta get the Vecky sorted and....... here we come >:D

Start with a gentle warm up this afternoon, tucking into the June edition of Motor Sport and an article about AM appearance this year.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

Quieter at work this week so this afternoon I'm going to refit the rear seats and bulkhead into the Vito and finish the wiring for the freezer. Got the podcast of last years race on at full volume in the background and just found a box full of last year's left over fireworks. Getting that tingling feeling in the stomach now  ;D

Just looking to break the news to Mrs S sometime over the next few weeks that I'm going. I've been informed a while back that i'd be going 'over my dead body' ::). Better get the patio dug up then in preparation ;)

Got the confirmation (Via Bob T) that our Monday night return Hotel/Post Le mans Shower and comfy bed and restaurant are booked in Bagnoles d'or.
Now I'm getting excited.
Still not received my tickets though.
If I was you, I wouldn't start from here
