I will be either thraping the T5 down to the Euro Tunnel terminal or sitting in the queue to book in for the train to France!!

Am having the LM hair cut this weekend to prepare... Bought a tent last Saturday and found all my tickets + passes last night

I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Anyone else feel all excited and school-boy-ish at the thought of LM2004??? (stupid question... )

I'll be gutted and stuck in the Caribbean, desperately waiting for the end of the month, when I'm coming home for a blast round France in the Elise. First time in 6 years I won't be there and I'm not happy - enjoy yourselves people, and remember every silver lining has its cloud!

My GF was taking the piss out of me for being so excited.

She asked what I'd do if she'd booked an all expenses trip to New York for the weekend, staying in a 5* hotel and they'd recommissioned concorde for us especially for the journey, with a couple of grands spending money for the same weekend??

I asked if we could change the NY trip to the next weekend...

I know how you feel. For me I get two of my passions of life, I get to fly a plane at over 10000ft do over 200 mph without being knicked by the , get in to see the start/finish of the race.(Go MG) sorry but I have to stand by my MG and shout for them :-).

Only thing that could make it better would be to get lucky as well


As I wont be drinking do lots for me

Murcielago,

I have a spare XXL if you need it. Doubles up as a five man tent.

This time next week the French fuzz will have confiscated the ‘9’ for driving 0.000001 of a kilometre over their limit, lifted £4k for driving in sunglasses or being in possession of an offensive passenger or even facing public guillotine in Alencon for having an exhaust over 100db. Looking forward to it your damn right I am.

As for the PH T-shirts by ek they ain’t arf big and that’s from somebody not renowned for being fond of salad. Come to think of it would double up as particularly useful parachute break.

XXL?! I'm only 13 so it could perhaps be like a robe for me? Is there usually some TVR merch sold at Le Mans, I could buy that instead?
