Never again...

[Snoring Rhino]

Another plus was rather unexpected. My wife always gives me loads of hassle every year in the run up. She hates it when i go on 'holiday' with my friends each year. Last night she told me that if i ever stay at home during Le Mans i will be strangled alive, and suggested we booked next years ferry straight away.

Every cloud has a silver lining!

Sounds familiar, for some reason that now escapes me I didn't go in 2004 (after picking up again in 2000 after missing out for years due to lack of money), but after being like a bear with a sore head all weekend my wife told me that never again was I to miss LM!  So whilst missing a year is traumatic, it can work out for the best

Be careful though, my wife "tolerated" Brad and I's planing and going to LM. Then, when we had a bit of money to spare, she booked a long weekend of shopping in New York for her and our daughters on the basis that I had spent the same amount on our LM trips. The reality is that we are still catching up on what they spent, so it wasn't such a bad thing, points in the bank.

I stiil hear the holiday word every year even though this year was my 20th. Every year I say "It's not a holiday, it's Le Mans" but every year she insists that it is a holiday. What holiday has she ever been on where most of it is spent in a sometimes sodden field surrounded by inebriated noisy people and only averaging 2 or 3 hours sleep a night. Christ on a bike she has even seen photographic evidence to prove my point. Her idea of a holiday is a luxury hotel with flunkies pandering to her every need. Holiday my arse, it has alway been Le Mans, and it always will be.

Have to agree Bob.  I've tried explaining to people we don't go to Le Mans because we want to!   I suspect that given the choice we wouldn't go.  However,  Thereis no choice.  In reality we HAVE to go.  I've tried explaining it but they just don't get it!

I once heard a guy say about Le Mans "Show me a sane person and I'll cure them!"
