'Bye Lofty! 
Hello Sally!
Fatboy, did Christine the Cobra keep trying to kill you?
Aquaplaned going northbound on M23 car span around in the outside lane, I was facing a sea of white headlights in pouring rain, dumped my foot on the clutch and braced for impact while going backwards! Drifted across 3 lanes, accross chevrons across the two exit lanes to the M25 and car coasted to a stop in the hard shoulder where I applied the brakes. I had hit nothing, and there were no other accidents as a result of the car spinning backwards, I don't think I have ever been so scared as I was at that moment!
A white van man pulled up and asked me if I was OK, when I replied I think so, he said that was the best thing he had ever seen!
Took car to lemans a couple of times, second time it caught fire causing 7.5k of damage!
mate burnt his arm. we had 3ft flames lapping up the windshield!
Got the car rebuilt and sold it. Phew........ So what do you then buy when you have had a Cobra.....A Viper, never looked back.
I have a new watch, that makes 8 now, hands up if you'd like to see it?
Calling all TT residents!!!! Tomorrow at 16.30hrs there will be an extraordinary meeting in the Bear Inn in Oxford, your attendance is requested, mainly because myself, glenrobbo and Pushfit can't drink enough to be considered competition for the student population!!!!

Wow! Snakes alive, Fatboy!
I can see why you named your Cobra "Christine"...
I hope Mustang Sally gives you some great rides without biting yo' ass!
ION, Bomma has contacted me to say that he has been incapacitatededed by a Pelican attack by a workplace accident resulting in a torn excruciating ligament in his knee, so he is unable to participate in tomorrow's mission.
Poor Mr. Tumble sends his apologies.
England expects that each of the remaining mission personnel will do his duty.
I'll be there, as the Four Tops once said.
True commitment.
Oh. Seems we're back to Mustang Sally again!
Bobbers and Pushfit are also joining me on the pressgang. We are looking for more recruits.
Any takers?

I remember seeing one on a transporter in the circuit and got chatting to the owner, I think he had needed a fresh set of undies after his cobra span on the autoroute at high speed leaving big black stripes down the road (and brown ones in his pants I guess) but he managed to not hit anything
