Belly Let us know where abouts you'll be next year at LM. I'm proud of the racket my decatted Griff makes and I look forward to revving the knackers off it outside your tent. Goodnight darling.

If its too noisy at LM Cars you ought to try going in April to the bikes !!! Apart from being much colder (so you really do have to get pissed to sleep) Those bar5tards wont sit outside your tent reving they'll come through it, over you, down the road on one wheel, crash, bleed, get up, do it again, blow engine, cremate wreckage, steal different bike, back to start..... Most won't even know there's a race going on and the usual high point is watching the naked stunt shows in the main square (not on scooters i'll add !!!) done purely to provoke a reaction from the riot squads of french plod. They manage to lose control every year even with a 10 mile radius of circuit alcohol ban. The circuit and campsites don't see a copper (or an ambulance !) all weekend as they give up and stay in town and after 3 days the sites normally resemble something close to a first world war battlefield complete with burning wrecks and caualties. Trust me in comparison June is so much more "cultured" "refined" and generally sedate !!!!!! I must say though that April can get a bit cold, scary, and OTT. Great for a couple of years but once experienced a few times you either resort to Eurosport and pangs of "I wish I'd gone down there" or sulk ! Having said that anyone up for Magny Cours in September I wouldn't recommend taking a 4 wheeled pride and joy but it will be fun!!
