It's that time of year when I've booked my crossing, paid for my grandstand seats and can think of little else other than paying homage to the best 4 days of the year. (followed closely by a few trips to the ring!) As i've exhausted the interest of my fellow collegues raving about what their missing the natural course of progression would be to join a forum where the banters flows. Look forward to joing in with all of you. TOPDOG Title: Re: !! NEW MEMBER !!

Only 4 days!! :o :o :o.......still a learner then. Many on here will be setting up camp on the Monday morning. And you've paid for tickets already - you must be one of the rich folk who use a ticket agency :-\ :-\ Tell us a bit about yourself......where you live, where you stay at LM, T-shirt size etc...

You guessed right! This will be my second time to LM. I was kindly invited by some long serving patriots of the cause. Last time we camped at Clubmotorsport just a few clicks from Arnarge village. The tickets we get from JustTickets. With 4 days being wet and many trips to the lav just a distant memory,(overdose on mussels in Arnarge) it won't be long before the obligatory LM planning sessions start! I'm not sure if I can top it but standing underneath the podium getting drenched in Champagne and rain brought a sudden realisation of why we're here. I would like to go for a week but in order to substain my other needs of hooning about europe I must decide sparingly. In other words, if the wife lets me. Thanks for the welcome!

Although '07 wasn't the best year (weather-wise) for your inaugural visit, I'm sure it was the first of many. We get a wet one every 5 years or so, the last being on '01 which was even wetter than '07. Many of us get our tickets direct from the ACO - a lot cheaper, but you need a good strong heart and lots of fingernails - see the 'Has anyone received their invoice yet?' thread on the General Board. Nice county Salop - go there at least once a year to Broome (just outside of Craven Arms) to enjoy the beauty of the Long Keep watching, and join in Del |
