Le Mans must don't.

[moffspeed]

As we have a "must do" thread could I suggest a must don't thread for those who are new to the Sarthe game.

So here we go: 1) don't try and get into the circuit through Arnage on Saturday am, you will be there for a long time 2) don't get lost in Rouen 3) don't exceed the speed limit within 50kms of the circuit..the flicks will get you (119 mph in my case) 4) don't buy inflated Le Mans tickets off eBay at the moment, prices crash in the final week before the race if you hold your nerve 5) plenty of sunscreen if you're stuck on the terraces for a couple of hours before the start 6) good set of binoculars to assess pit strategies, well OK for the H.T.girls 7)generally the tribune above the pit offers a very limited view so don't pay big money for one of these 8)don't fall off your mountain bike and have a boy scout stitch your head up, I've still got the headache.

Plenty of others no doubt...

don't be sneaking through the woods wearing bright colours!

Don't come back to your tent pissed and choice the wrong one with the fat hairy bikers in! If this is a good possiblity then camp close to some nice totty!

Why?

[chrisbr68]

Forget to check your passport
Repeatedly speed in the same area (even south of Tours)

[JBL930]

Don't chase parked cars, and no jogging behind a gritter

The bears are attracted by bright colours and might come after you...

Go on that round thing in the fairground that spins on three planes at once. Unless your mates enjoy being sprayed with part-digested merguez and kronenboug

Don't attempt to sleep your hangover off, it's just too dam hot it will never happen! Never before has "Hair of the Dog" really applied so much!

Don't eat a big bowl of lukewarm Spag Bol in one of the tents in the village. You will end up with a major dose of food poisoning like I did a few years ago and spend the whole weekend in a very unpleasant portaloo.

...Ahhh. Knew it would not be long into the Le Mans season before the 5hit stories begin. Absolute class !

Security guards find you when your sneaking through the above said woods to watch the race from the wrong side of the track ,not that I would ever think of doing that

Don't forget French Petrol Stations particularly the Automatique ones don't like UK credit cards.

Don't forget to put new batteries in your radio.

Don't forget your passport and lots of Euros.

Don't take your radar detector as the Frenchie gendarmes look upon them as not playing fair and will a. make you reverse over your one and
b. will fine you the lots of Euros you remembered in the previous comment.

Don't forget to watch the RACE!

That thing is just wrong. I spent the whole time thinking about one steel bolt in front of me that was currently keeping me alive and trying not to think about French circus build quality...

The booster though is just the best thing EVER!!!!!!!!

It did cause an enormous amount of mirth amongst the rest of our group, all of whom had chosen pizza!

Don't get caught out having an affair by the wife while at your first Le Mans experiance

[RVVUNM]

Don't sit in the sun all day without a hat and get sunstroke like I did two years ago (not funny)

Oh, and don't leapfrog unicorn's
