Kristof, you are not alone. I am going to Hawaii for 2 weeks on Friday, so I will not see a computer for the next 2 weeks. J-B&Q, good luck!!
P.S. what track is the race being held at, the Fosters, International, or Island track?? |

Is that nerves or nervous anticipation? Just how many fags do you get through just before a race? Do you have a ritual to go through before getting in the car?
So how's the cars now John - all fit and raring to go. |

Hello Chris Y, How did it go at Mallory, I really love that track.
Les, Yes I have a ritual, it goes something like, 3 hours before the race: Panic, Have pee, smoke fag. 2 Hours before race: Really Panic, Pee smoke two fags in rapid succession. One hour before race: Have total nervous collapse, am revived by fag, too nervous to go to the loo.On grid: realise I'm scared to death and cannot now go to loo until end of race, made worse by the fact I cannot light fag while wearing helmet. After race: go back to hospitality and speak to guests explaining airily that I never get nervous, don't smoke and live a thoroughly blameless existance. |

Hello Chris Y, How did it go at Mallory, I really love that track.
Did well in qualifying - got up to 7th, which is my best yet, but in the race the distributor cap melted! Still - the atmosphere was brilliant and we had a cracking time DON'T FORGET BRONTY, STEG AND REX! I'VE MISSED THEM HEAPS! They'll be there |

Good luck for Oulton, John Hope everyone enjoys the weekend. I had planned to drag my boss along, but he's decided that Man United are more important, so looks like I'll have to give Oulton a miss

Carrie, you could have come round and cleaned my car for me today! I was supposed to but a massive hangover got in the way! Mum cooks a mean roast. You would have been rewarded!

Well, we've just had a new B&Q store opened in Bolton.
Oulton, that circuit in Cheshire? All I can say is bloody annoying Octagon website I seemed to spend ages going round in circles on it earlier this evening. And why do I always want to spell Octagon as Octogan!!! Was that the topic |
