General " I'm excited about Le Mans" chat thread

[Hoonigan]

Well I'm officially very excited now . Leaving Tuesday night and staying on Houx Annex, if any other PH'ers are on Annexe do pop over for a cold beer, we will have the PH flag flying and also a RAF ensign I believe.
Safe journey all and look forward to seeing you there

Now my Isle of Man TT trip is done I can get excited about LeMans

Ditto! Had a cracking week on the island. Nothing beats the TT, well maybe a Corvette GT victory.....

Sat in the garden having a cold one with the barby on ready for the off on the Pompey Wednesday night
Boat to Le Harve , now everything else is just waiting mmm was that line used in a film once

[mcelliott]

Spent a few hours cleaning and detailing the car, yes I'm now officially excited. See everyone there

[OvalOwl]

Boot is stuffed full and the rest of the luggage piled in the hall. Just off to bed cos we have an o'dark thirty start.

Wish us luck, and don't laugh too loud if we turn up at the Friday Service in our fully stickered diesel 207.

Car is stickered up, buying last minute supplies today & meeting my Dad to do a test pack to see what we can actually fit into my MR2.

Lol my guess would be "not enough" lol

Have a great trip down mate, we are on the Dover Calais early Weds, can't wait for the roadtrip to the campsite

Roll on next weekend!!!!

Camping mat bought and test pack done - there's actually more room than I thought in the MR2 roadster. Just got to get through 3 days of work now.

Motorhome mostly packed, my wingman brought his stuff round yesterday, packing rest off stuff later today/tomorrow as leaving tomorrow night... Excited, well just a Little MASSIVE amount

Working today though, thats if I can concentrate for more than 2 minutes withour thinking about Le Mans

[0llie]

I'm having to draw on all my proffesionalism I can muster to get through work in the next 2 days. I really want to leave now.

4 days to go! Wheels turn at 3pm on Thursday, with the first move being Tower Bridge

[AndyWoodall]

Just one day of work to go here. Predictably I'm now sqeezing all the weeks work into one day, so today is going to be painfull before I can be released for packing/general excitement duties.

I'd love to do both but they are too close together...I will be following LeMans on TV and Radio.
I must get across to LM24 one year, it'd be great to sticker the car up for it and everything.

[archbish]

spreadsheet checklist being worked through, and the purchase list is growing ever smaller. Working today and tomorrow, then Wednesday pack, and Thursday (very early) off we go...

Very, very excited...

[speiros21]

My first Le Mans this year, cannot wait! Need to travel alone though, work wouldnt let me go a few days early!... however meeting up with a few guys who are driving down tomorrow.

I need to get the TGV train from Charles de Gaulle, then I think the tram is the best way to the circuit from Le Mans train station.

Anyone else done this route before and is it pretty straight forward?

[Vette_1978]

Less than 3 hours left till work is done and LM is so close I can almost smell the red sausages.

[TransverseTight]

I got my camping gear out yesterday (as I'm working away), cooked 30 portions of scoff over the weekend and stuck it in the freezer. Finally bought a proper 3 way fused and RCD hook up connector. And F me the poles for the gazebo are 3m long! Lucky I'm going the Xtrail. as they Reach they separate the driver and passenger. I decided I can't wait till tomorrow evening so told the boss I'm now leaving at lunch time. I'm staying in Poole tomorrow night (Tues) so hopefully will make last orders before getting the morning ferry on Wednesday.
