Last year I missed the 24hr in favour of the Classic, and was like a bear with a sore head all weekend.  So next year it'll have to be both  Geoff, believe or not there is something worse  Try doing a LM's and have a campervan to parade around in  The shame of it  |

Hmmm Ok Thanks everyone for the info so far. Certainly the classic has whetted my appetite. Perhaps more specific questions.
1. Do I still drive there as fast as my chariot will go (or like this years 24, for as long as my chariot is in one piece!)
2.Will the ferry terminal be full of classic cars all also travelling as fast as they can and will I have lots of playmates on the way down to LM.
3.When I get there, do I still get to drink like a newt in Arnage village as the motors cruise past, soaking up the atmosphere ( is there an atmosphere?)
4. Is the racing actually balls out and worth watching?
5. Will I be surrounded by ' anaraks ' with vast knowledge of motor sport and motor cars ? (this might not be a problem as I am assurred by my wife that I am one of the anaraks and I do find that after 10 pints of stella artois I can talk knowledgeably about most things - although I am advised the factual content is dramatically reduced.)

Steve Thanks for the links - I gotta get better at computers. I want links, dancing women and a picture of my motor! Think I'll stick the six-pack 440 in the jensen over the winter and get its sorry butt to classic LM...no the 24hr...no classic, no 24 , oh I don't know. I've got a year to choose I 'spose |

Hmmm - so it looks like the plan for 2006 might be: PQ, hols in france, 24 hrs, hols in france, Classic, return home!!! Could drag it out for over a month if the ACO co-operate! Hmm, interesting. I would be driving up and down though. Maybe I can get a discount with the Peage-people |
