Well....this is the point where we ought to be packing up the camping kit and getting ready to leave for Le Mans but we're not....I'm still not sure how it feels not to be going, it's OK at the moment but by next week it might feel worse! Have a great time everyone, I want to hear ALL the stories, the dirt and the gossip when you all get back and I want to see ALL the photo's  We'll be in the garden for LM weekend, unless it's really pissing down in which case it'll be the pop up tent in the living room! Have a great time everyone, have a beer or twenty for us, we'll have a few for you as well ...and given last year's experiences - drive carefully! |

I feel for you and anyone else who's not going mate. I missed last year through some "local difficulties" and it was torture. Add to that getting a ticking off on here by Andy Zarse for missing the best race in years and reading reports from everyone on their return really hacked me off.
Keep Eurosport on, don't go to bed, drink yourself stupid and demand regular texts from those there.
Chin up and make sure you are with us next year.
Steve

I'm still not sure how it feels not to be going I'll tell you how it feels not to be going. IT SUCKS!I was convinced I wouldn't be that bothered but then someone started that stupid driving music thread and I searched youtube for some of the songs listed (that I didn't know) and stumbled across some music that got me right in the mood, except of course IN THE MOOD FOR WHAT? AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I hate you all. Have a great time won't you. By the time the race starts I should be nicely into the construction of my wife's new raised beds  I'm coming back next year and I'll be making a big impact (not BobU sized but quite big anyway ) |

Sorry to hear this, Amanda, but thanks very much for the BUMP at PH. It didn't went unnoticed. Keith won't be at LM either, I guess. Have a great party in the garden, we will have a toast on everybody staying at home.

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

Oh god, the first name slip even before I'm there... well, Piglet then. It's been a too long time, obviously.

Yes, much too long, we didn't get to Spa last year and we're not going this year either! Hopefully next year will be a bit more back to normal! |

Theres no way of softening blow.......... it's horrible, wait till 3pm on Saturday. Thankfully I am going this year, but missed one a couple of years ago and couldn't function. I just wandered around the house mumbling incoherently - very similar to being there actually!  Try and make the best of it!! Spend the time writing a strongly worded letter to Mr G Brown |

All the best to everyone going, you will of course have a blast I've been harbouring a last minute plan to jump on the bike and ride down, but alas I have just learnt of an important business exhibition on the Friday and Saturday. So bang goes that plan, I will do my best not to be to depressed over next week, and will console my self with a good deal of Leffe from Sainsburys and spark up the BBQ.  Stay safe Guys and Girls, we need you for next year.... |

Bad luck for those not going, but I bet half (if not more) of you will be online looking at ferries by friday afternoon, thinking that if you get a late one you'll be there in time for the race, and working out return times so you can be back at work (if you have a job of course) on Monday morning! I decided not to go in 2004 after picking the race back up in 2000 after a bit of a gap through the 90's, and I was like a bear with a sore head all weekend, had RLM on constantly and drove my wife mad, so much so that she said I had to go in 2005 Not missed a year since, so maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all! |

Have a ball everyone, but be safe. This time next week I'll be in Chicago at the Blues Festival (or will I still be in bed? Haven't worked out the time difference yet!). I'll see if I can find LM on Speed over the weekend.
