Since they reduced the strength of Pimms about 10 years ago, I always spice mine up with a dash of high strength Tanqueray.

We were parked on the grass of Bugatti circuit and the cars exiting the main circuit after their races passed within a couple of feet of us. One of the advantages of taking a classic car I suppose.
It was magnificent last year but waaay too hot to be comfortable.

And as far as the weather goes 'way to hot' is a bit of an understatement - it was effin scorching. >Martini...LB |

I hope to do either the 24, or the classic, leaning towards the classic for 2012, but if I can get the time off work, I'll do both. Those of you who know me on FB will be aware that brownie points aren't exactly in short supply up here at the moment.

If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

Guess I'll need a month holidays next year ...
24h of the Ring, Le Mans, Goodwood, and the Classic in 5 weeks time ... Ring and LM are fixtures already, would be great to add Goodwood to the list.

Hi All,
I got an email from a few ticket agencies yesterday to say that 2012 LM Classic ticket allocations have just been forwarded to said agencies and they are now taking bookings.
As ever, if you want Maison Blanche its time to get cracking!

Same as the main event 7 x 5m, usually MB, Bleu and I think KN. |

many of the campsites are block booked by car clubs, so if you wish to camp on a particular site you will have to either get the tickets from the car clubs or e bay/forum's.
Last year the main campsites used were KN and MB however others (beausjour) were opened up as demand was high. facilities on the campsites were much more basic than the main event however club campsites usually have more organised facilities like a Bar.

Blimey - things are getting tricky, not only do you have to be careful when children come along, you also have to be careful about any prospective girlfriend's date of birth! |

Our normal holiday in Greece is mucked up this year as well as our daughter is getting married in May. Thinking about Italy in July - recommendations anyone. >Martini...LB |

Very glum this morning.
Firstly I have discovered over the weekend that my new Alfa Giulia Sprint has had a hard hit on the N/S front suspension at some point in the past. Its going to have to go down to South Wales to be straightened on the jig. They have the only set of body clamps to fit this car in the country and their waiting list means it won't return until well into the new year. So that has pushed not only the timescale, but the budget beyond me being able to get to Le Sarthe next summer. Looks like I'm taking the camper then.
And secondly, I've been buggered about by the ticket agency again and have no MB camping space.
I called them last june and requested an allocation. I called again last month and was told i was very near the top of the list and they would be in touch in the next few weeks when they knew the amount of tickets they were getting from the ACO.
This morning i got an email saying, 'as we have not heard from you regarding your ticket requirements we have released your allocation and have no more MB available. We do however have camping available on Beasjour and look forward to taking your order'.
Bastards!
Going to call them at 9am and give them holy hell.
Its really taken the shine off my morning.
Grumpy Si
