MTAAW. bounce This year's got to be better than last year. Which, lets face it, couldn't have been much worse. frown

Booked my ferry last week so waiting for the ACO to start sending out tickets. In the meantime there is stickerage to be perused and bought and where did I put all the useful stuff I took last time?

Hopefully I wont have a massive argue with my brother this time.

I can't wait either. My second time (last time was 2011, which was epic)

Going with a virgin, and somebody who was there in 2011 also.

Prey for Sun ? I know I am !!

Am also going on the 10th (well the first leg) so my countdown also shows 71 days !! It's falling fast !

12th year in a row for me.

Just need to book ferry but all sorted otherwise.

Not sure about stickers this year.

Very excited.

That and it was bb bbb bblinking Baltic and the safety cars kept coming out cos somebody else had a close look at the scenery, especially right at the end when it looked like a grandstand finish was in the offing between the Manthey Porsches and AM.

Oh and that row with my brother put a right damper on the drive back.

Le Mans has been on my bucket list for years, realised that the whole point of a bucket list is to actually do them so here we go, first one on the list to be ticked shortly! I won't believe it until I'm actually there. Maybe should have a back up plan for travel as I am going in....well.....only one way to say this......a rover.

I've been with Rover power a couple of times. Never missed a beat. Chevy got a bit warm in town, no big problem. Jeep had brake failure before we got to Portsmouth and Fiat went home on a low loader. You'll be fine!

I'm excited all year round! But now, with the weather already so nice (hopefully we won't have Atacama Desert levels of hot come June...) as it is, with Porsche returning, and Le Mans being Le Mans etc. etc. I am very excited!!!

Roll on June!
