Have been watching some of the Highlights of the last couple of years, great to get in the mood again. Absolutely can't wait after missing it last year. (Watching the highlights of 2013 again doesn't make me feel bad I wasn't there though.)
Was that online? Of so links would be greatly appreciated..

We've had 'news' this morning that our tickets are en route wink from 1st Tickets & we are down to the all important details of catering 'extras'....reading the email from 1st Tickets their catered option seems even mors popular & hence the banter should be even better as well.....I hope they have more alcohol as we pretty much cleared their wine stock on the Sunday evening last year hehe

I gathered all of the Le Mans highlights from 1980 onwards, so I don't really have a link unfortunately.

The 2013 highlights are available via the usual 'channels' (our friends at "The Bay")

I am very very excited this year, more so than I have been for the last few. Good group of lads, bit of comfort and a nicely shaping up race (happy to see someone giving Audi a proper challenge).

I'm suffering from a mixure of;

1. Anticipation at returning to Le Mans for the 1st time since the Bentley year of 2003.
2. Hope that the bloody weather improves over the coming weeks in time for the race.
3. Confusion at car stickering options (think I may finally be there now!).

This will be my third year at Le Mans and I couldn't be more excited! The only problem is where to camp. I've been in Beaujour each year and had problems both years because we've been slightly away from everybody. Last year we had all of our camping chairs stolen and my car keyed by some angry French men who didn't appreciate that we didn't want to drink with them.

Anybody camping in Beaujour and want to accommodate two ladies who would rather not be pestered by French men? Not a single person intervened last year when I was about to smack one of them and it all got a bit nasty, so we need some friendly faces around our camp!

Very nice smile Is that Baltic Blue? Love that colour!


Really looking forward to this. First time going to Le Mans and still not too sure what to expect!

Get yourself into the PH private camp site next year and you'll be golden. Can't help this year I'm afraid!

First couple of small stickers arrived this morning. Hopefully the rest will come tomorrow then I just need one day of decent weather to get the car clean and polished to apply them.
