glad you liked it, gotta have a bit of humour on here, it does sometimes get a bit personal and pointed! I'm very envious of you going ten times I'd love to go to Le Mans as I've followed it on TV ever since I was a lad, my ideal holiday would be to drive the old 911 down there with my tent and witness it first hand unfortunately Mrs B has other ideas of what her perfect holiday should be so we do neither LOL!

Bloody hell, what a cracking response! I feel humbled and I won't do it again.

I have to admit that LM has many, many fantastic memories for me after 10 years in a row camping next to the track. I could spend hours talking about the things we used to get up to. Probably makes me a little sensitive now we don't go any more......

I agree absolutely.

Luckily, my better half agreed that one long weekend each year with the lads at LM - no females, I would never 'expose' her to some of the characters I went with! - was acceptable. Although many take their P&J there, and an old 911 sounds perfect, we used to travel in older, bigger cars because of the punishment they took during travel and at the campsite. But there's no doubt that LM is something special - even now, although I clearly moan about it - so keep the pressure on Mrs B!
