Getting well pumped up here too, just like every else every year
Sitting at work, loads to do before leaving (Le Mans is my first week of a nearly 4 week holiday) but cannot concentrate and keep looking on here and doing anything but work, ARGH! Motorhome is waiting in the work car park, I leave directly from my desk to a campsite in Belgium tonight. Meet the rest of my crew coming from UK in Calais tomorrow morning then cruise on down to Maison Blanche for Weds afternoon.

My planning this year (like every year for the past few years) :
(i) Subscribe to Eurosport for 1 month.
(ii) buy lots of cheap french-style bier from Tesco (the little dumpy bottles).
(iii) buy sausages and bacon for le-fry-up.
(iv) reserve the sofabed for 24 hours.
(v) as soon as the race starts, declare that "I'm definitely going to go next year", then fail to plan for the remaining 12 months
If it's a particularly nice weekend, I might even have a barbeque and sit out in the garden with the laptop
Enjoy your trip guys, whatever the colour of your sausages are....
I'm tempted to do that but only 6 more to go to make 40 on the trot at which point I will consider it.................(i) Subscribe to Eurosport for 1 month.

Cars Stickered up and ready to rock 
... @LeMansStickers
Cant frickin wait
Loving that. I recall whilst playing out in my old IB E60 M5 at Nordschleife many years ago, a friend decided to write Ring Taxi on the side of my car after many beers;) ... @LeMansStickersCant frickin wait
My F10 M5 is being stickered up tomorrow whilst being valeted en route. Wish i'd opted for something similar to yours but bottled it given it's brand new & went low key
With work dominating my life for the last two months, this years race has crept up out of nowhere for me, until last night I still was nowhere near as excited as I normally am until I opened my emails and found out I was one of the lucky sods who won the Aston garage tour, absolutely buzzing for it now
Right, just finished my last meeting, got a couple of bits to do then out of office goes on, and as far I am concerned at that point "LM24 2014 that s
te just got real"
Just got couple of bits to pack tonight, Gym and then ready for 2am departure.
Can't bloody wait, weather is and looks awesome.

Heading down to a hotel in Folkestone after work tomorrow night for a final meal with 'vegetables' in it, a night in a 'bed', and perhaps a 'cold' beer served in a 'glass', what decadent capitalist pig dogs we are!
8:50 onto the Chunnel, and away we go! Can't wait. The rest of my stickers had better arrive tomorrow, or I'll be embarrassingly under decorated
I do have duct tape however

I've basically done the better part of f**k all work this week, in between spending too much time on here, Ten Tenths and anywhere else the race is being discussed!!
Finally calling a halt to the charade at lunchtime tomorrow, then its 100% Le Mans all the way to Monday night...
My productivity has dipped a bit this week I must say... but everything is sorted for a very early departmure Thursday morning! Finally calling a halt to the charade at lunchtime tomorrow, then its 100% Le Mans all the way to Monday night...
