The Im NOT going to Le mans thread.

[fatboy18]

So for those of us that are NOT going this year, what's your plans?

[Beerwagon]

Why not?

[fatboy18]

Boring reasons.....Skint and family commitments

[The_Doc]

I'll take him next year

[MKnight702]

Not going because the year end and audit at work coincide nicely with Le Mans and Le Mans Classic Oh, and because the year end won't change this will always be the case...gutted.

Not going but will be avidly watching any TV coverage I can find. Was planning on going back next year but my mate who I go with has decided to get married on the LM weekend!!!

[The Angry Gopher]

Not going this year, probably catch it on Eurosport. Having just got permission from the SWMBO who found an unfeasibly good ferry offer, just booked the ferry, campsite and tickets

So a name change to the Happy Gopher is in order?

So many people I know aren't going to Glastonbury/Le Mans/other fun stuff this year because of new arrivals. Obviously just reached that age.

Getting married on Wednesday 25th and shall be honeymooning!

Great excuse to miss the race but shall still be at the forefront of my mind over that weekend.

Since the world is ending tomorrow it seemed silly to waste money on tickets

Filling in time. No point starting anything new now. Anyway it was PH that alerted me to the imminent Apocolypse, so I thought I'd keep an eye on it for updates.

[Spydaman]

Not going this year as I do the Classic every other year. Will be doing the Petit Le Mans in the back garden with the TV up against the patio doors with live internet coverage and Radio Le Mans played through the TV. Plenty of warm beer, bbq and fireworks it'll be just like being there.

Very useful service!

So after all that panicing it's only judgement day tomorrow! Another 5 months until the end of the world.

Does this mean I won't be needing winter tyres this year?

After going each year since 2004 our group is having a break - though all subject to change the week before the event!
