One Volvo estate had HUGE spotlights on the roof,switched on at 11pm...[irked]

Another Volvo estate had orange flashy lights,like Chunk's little van,also switched on,naughty boy.

One has to be slightly mental to drive near 5000 miles in 15 days and 1200+ in 1 day,in a Convertible Fiat.
Token German #1 - Are you talking about iva marbles or elgin cosworth?

Looks like Marcus Gronholm.
Yep,he now runs his son Niclas in World Rallycross.

Well done PP.

I would have asked for his autograph but had nothing for him to sign,same went for Per Eklund later.

I got a whole pile of signed cards in the official signing sessions.

Don't think so.

Lots of stuff keeping me occupied on last leg of my trip,like a weird sensation of headlights homing in on the N/S

headlight of my car,that was very weird and also seeing "Operation Stack" in use ,the number of Trucks trying to

get into Dover was mind boggling,the queue was mahoosive.

I didn't even know that there was a travel problem as I had no news of any sort for 2 weeks.

I had to look up who won the British GP.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door...

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

Today I found out that I can buy a 'silencer' to fit a .410 shotgun, so the fecking rabbit who was on my lawn this morning at 6.30am had better watch his furry little back.

At Allen's flat
At Allens flat
They played a game called "spin the cat"
All the cats went other places.
Now they just have running races.

Seeing Timmy's animal stuff reminded me.

Saw 2 dead Deer in Sweden,first an adult being dragged away to a blokes car and the second a younger

one,hit by a Polo on a motorway and it had flipped up and whacked the windscreen.

Someone else had already stopped to assist Polo driver who was probably in shock.

Didn't see a single Elk Moose despite going way up north.

More stuff,I did say it comes back slowly.

Met some great Swedes.

I overtook a Motorhome and gave a thank you wave for assisting my overtake.

Further up the road I've pulled over as the bootlid keeps popping open and I'm closing it yet again.

Motorhome pulls in behind me,3 get out to pee,4th bloke comes over to me,beer in hand,bit squiffy and we chat for 5

minutes about my car and other stuff.

Great bloke,really funny, from Gothenburg.
