I dont remember thundering horses being your problem last time I saw you at Goodwood. Wasnt it the local air traffic control putting a complaint in?! wink

Yes Mart... It's as offensive as ever and just past 85k :0

In need of a little TLC as the result of Kilby's ex's inability to drive and some mindless tw@t at sainsbury's but that just gives me the excuse to sort out the stone rash on the nose as well.

Nice one - see you Sat smile

Have you thought about the lotus only day at Spa beginning of Oct? It's the *best* track there is. And it's cheap and not full of porsches biggrin

I'm with CCI so I get 4 days track cover included. Thought it was going to be a 10% excess but it transpires it's only a £300 excess. Dead chuffed. Just had to send them an electronic copy of the confirmation that Helen Drake sent in the post.

Oh and Lambjiblets... tell the (nearly)wife that I will endorse her on LinkedIn. Also I've got a job @ Ordnance Survey in Southampton, start next Thursday, hence tracking whatever the weather (and popping in for tea at my old Ma's in Chichester) It's pancake day you know.

Cheers

Grinnders - congrats on getting the OS job. Almost worth coming down to watch you resist Chris and Ben once they work out you have some redundancy money they could turn into a supercharged Elise!

Hope you enjoy the day

Cheers for your help.

I enquired with Morris Insurance,read the small print and decided it was'nt worth the paper it was written on!
Going take it easy on the day and enjoy driving without the worry of being photographed by some copper.
See you there

I'll have to see if it books up by the time I can afford to book it, it's been an expensive start to the year and I have a new kitchen to buy (and some suspension)

Congratulations on the job Grinnders.
Can't afford to do a track day at the moment, working on it though.

Thanks Phil. The household is very much relieved... Now I'm back to debating whether I can face a 70 mile daily round trip in the old silver banger!
