left him a voicemail but think I may have sorted myself anyway...will now have to drive from preston to newcastle then down to dover....:shudder: oh well. oh, and this means that the exhaust falling off the S has cost me about £400

still, at least I got it fixed for nowt

[ellroy]

Every one back OK?

Got all the way back and welcomed home by Rich's colleagues on the A64 with a nice dose of lazer. Lucky detector was up and running and that I was clearly under the limit. (cough cough)

[Bob the Planner]

Just got back. Din't notice a laser on the A64 but I'm sure I did not exceed the limit down there anyway.

[tonto]

Everyone have a good time?

Your gaff as you left it Bob ? (As I said, I didn't get to York for the walk as I got sun stroke sitting in a masshoosive traffic jam coming back from Ireland)(hmm ,, no sun stroke smilie).

I was going to take the mickey out of Tom for breaking his car on the way there, but I managed to break mine on the way back.

Had a disagreement with a kerb (and subsequent rock and a bush) in a French service station and have ripped the cheese grater off the front of the Tusc along with punching a hole through the bottom of the fibre glass.

It's already back at Drivestyle getting some more wonga thrown at it.

Still, top week, good weather, good company and even some racing.

Piccies will go on the site when I get them all together

Good to see everyone back safe and sound so far

Sorry to hear about the deaded motors though

[andymaserati]

Big bugger about the car gordon
sorri to hear that


we made it back ok...
had to break convoy with minimax after his driver was taking the worlds longest route to dunkirk (tom, how was moscow?)
so after a small blurt maxing the mondeo out down the payage (when i say small, i mean constant )
we made passport control at exactly 3.30... about when our ferry was leaving

but we hopped on a later one, so sorted

Hope everyone had a good time... we had a brilliant time

[ntel]

Just got back. Had a great time except for when then air bed popped and some tw@ nicked one of our chairs. Covered over 2000 miles without incident.

[andymaserati]

[tomtvr]

[Nick_Chim]
