Out of office set, car fuelled, time to get going!

See you in Le Mans folks!

I see in your profile that you're from Aberdeen - now that is a fair long way! Have a good trip

Painful isn't it!!? But this time tomorrow (in 24hrs no less) I'll be leaving the office and getting underway

I (depressingly) leave on Wednesday and have an exam tomorrow. Very very painful.

Have a safe trip down there everyone!

I too am doing this until Wednesday evening, and with the excitement and anticipation setting in, productivity is at an all-time low.

May as well just go tonight!

We should probably set up a separate depression/envy thread.

Had to laugh at that :-), productivity is seriously suffering today, but have a day 'working from home' tomorrow to get the final prep completed, before starting the journey from Cheshire at 4pm. Can't wait any longer

Think the bird bath is OTT for Le Mans.

Beaten to it, damnation!

I will be leaving in 60 tiny, short hours. But reading about other people leaving sooner is frankly sickening. Irrational as it may be, I hate you all.

So will post now rather than trying to with shaking fingers tomorrow...

Will be on the 9am eurotunnel tomorrow am in the police badged scimitar. Very excited and looking forward to the adventure ahead... :-D

My stuff is mostly packed, leave Wednesday night to get an early morning train Thursday. The part that makes me question my own survival is the fact that I'm on nights this week and my be heading from Stoke to Denbighshire to go and look at an S2000 Wednesday morning straight after work. How and when sleep will happen before I leave I'm still wondering.

This is what happens when you take a sensible saloon rather than a 7 or a TVR, too much space to bring crap!

Le Devon Dumplings are leaving tonight from Plymouth. Staying in Beausejour, over 30 strong this year!
See you all there, drive safe everyone!

[LeoZwalf]

Devon Dumplings - great name

I am chomping to get outta work, only 1 more hour here then it's 10 mins drive down the road to the supermarket to get some water and a crate of the best Dutch beer I've found yet (Palm) then 3 hours driving to the French edge of Belgium. Stay there the night, meet up with the rest of my bunch coming from Dover and drive to LM together.

Less than an hour until I leave here....

[slarnge]

Team Top Beer are leaving first thing tomorrow . Will be a bit slower getting there this year as we are taking the Motor home. Have a safe trip to those going this year and enjoy .

[aussieal]

One day of work to go, night of packing ahead and feeling slightly disappointed that our team has opted not to sticker up the transport.

Still, roll on the frantic drive to Folkstone tomorrow night after work for the 11:20pm last train of the day.
