No idea who he was, except that he was Scandinavian (Danish, I think).


Afraid not old chum, as English as they come... and was in surprisingly good humour about it when we caught up with him on the Sunday night... though he did decline our offer for more beer!!!!!

He was still contemplating how to tell this misses!

AHA ! as a matter of good manners i will be bringing the aformentioned 'liquid ticket'but i must now inform you that i have sourced a Houx ticket, which may be some distance from yourselves, but will get me inside the perimeter fence. Today is trial 'pack stuff in Chim day'.May have to reduce underpant quota if things wont fit

Well the clutch has finally let go on the Cerb (before any TVR reliability comments come up, I would like to point out its done a reasonable mileage on this one and has included hundreds of fast standing starts due to sprints/hillclimbs and *ahem* practicing inbetween events... etc etc)

So we will now be going down in.... THE SMART!! Im going to see what I can do with a few rolls of tape, but keep a look out for a Numeric Blue Smart with PH sticker on the windscreen. Im hoping it'll be a little more noticeable than usual by the time we leave

Please bare in mind it's 100% standard, so it has F'all bhp (somewhere the depressing side of 55) and is limited to 130kph(ish) Its safe to say it wont be going too quickly with all the weight in it either - so yeah, dont think It'll be quick enough for any convoys this year...

Smart 0.6T LM (BENCA on the plate or near as dammit!)
