pussycat Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I am sat here bored at work just thinking of all those lucky 7'ers who are excited about going to Le mans and I am not! What, if anything can be done to brighten the day and cheer me up? Working at the MET Office I did think about making it rain, but it seemed a bit unfair......

allen Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Don't make it rain, I was there in 01 when it p**ed down and it was miserable - give em blinding continuous sunshine and see how many get heatstroke and severe sunburn 😬 😬 😬 Maybe I'll make it next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pussycat Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 OK - will get onto the forecasters and see what I can do! They are moving the IT systems down to Exeter soon, but here they just said they would make up the weather broadcasts if the systems all failed...has happened before apparently - and it proved more accurate! DEFINATELY GOING NEXT YEAR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 My fave was 1995. One of the guys I used to go with (and the chap that got me into Caterhams) started Team Mclaren. And he had a couple of press passes to the Gulf Racing Mclaren pit. So we took it in turns to wander around 😬 Ah, those were t'days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Elizabeth Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 me being vertically challenged As I think we recently discussed (prattling on about nothing my 🙆🏻 ) .... as long as one's feet just about reach the ground ... no more, more less ... then you are the right height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
