To spice up the tax return i always leave it to now,then its a race to get it done ,over to the accountant and sorted,so guess what...ime doing it today

God its boring Double

I thought maybe go down the shop and get me a can of Fossies and some crisps,,,first dilema sierra or vette?
Vette it is then ,only trouble is the shop wasnt far enough ,so i went for a couple of laps of the ring road and gave it a couple of WOT runs once she had warmed up.

The king of the hill was purring so i found me a freind on a large bike(we just happened to come across each other) and as i hit WOT in 3rd and 4th pulling up a hill,we came near a slip road so backed off and as the DC opened up ahead we went for it again 4th @WOT shift at upper 6 grand mark and pull again in 5th,i couldnt get WOT in 5th as we were fast running out of road and this was jail territory but we were both together and the sight of staying in touch with the bikers big wheel was an adrenilin rush ,as he pulled off the next slip road he looked and nodded,i thumbed him back
Dont you just love these cars,ime ready for some more taxreturn.com now.

With all your money (and two ZR1s) your tax return must take about a week..........
Hope you're not claiming back too much of the petrol the Z used today!!!

I always thought that the Basingstoke Ring Road would make a great race circuit! There are the chicanes (roundabouts) and the stretch from the first roundabout off of the motorway up the hill past the AA building until you get to the roundabout past the hospital what a great stretch of road. My personal best was 155 from the roundabout past the hospital to my exit (that was in Velveteen when showing Jan's nephew "what she'd do"

That is a good stretch of road

Ive always thought that the Basingstoke Ring road would be an ideal place for a "festival of speed" to be held over one weekend,you could still have access into the town areas with roads that pass under.

But for one weekend you could have bike racing of all types on the Saturday and then car racing of all types on the sunday...better still have it over a bank holiday weekend.

Roads that would have no purpose on the day such as dual carriage ways that would end meeting the circuit would be ideal for huge street markets and parking pit areas.

I need to get my @rse into gear and talk to people about "The Southern Festival of speed",there could be huge revenue to be made over such a weekend.

You want to get out more especially early mornings. New years day m3 ruf porsche did not overtake until 170 hit 194 and all before next junction.Before you ask it wasnt an old one it was a 54 plate bright yellow.
