Wont be leaving until Thursday morning - wish I was going Wednesday now.

Will be getting up at 2.30 am to make the 6.00 am Dover ferry tho' Much more exciting when you have to get up in the middle of the night. My body clock has been waking me up earlier each morning for the last week.

Getting really excited now

We leave tomorrow too and are soooo excited! It's our first trip to Le Mans, and we packed most of the stuff into the Chim on Saturday so had to drive around on Sunday with the roof on as there's no space left in the boot!! Just a bit more packing tonight and then we leave at 05.00 tomorrow morning. Can't wait!

Keep an eye out for our group sporting "That-Way" stickers (don't ask!). Should be 9 cars I think...!

Split over the crossing, a few of us on a 7am Dover-Calais ferry, the others on a 7.58am Eurotunnel.

Only 17 hours to go! Still got to pack everything... (but the car's clean )

We're in Houx, guess somewhere opposite the bogs and cafe as we were last year, you'll not miss us the purple Cerb and bright red LCR!

Not had much time to plan so will give you a shout anyway (e-mailed my mobile over)

Go on though, come over with a look of thumber and tell him you've got a hire car
