Where do I start?
The stars of the show were the people,thanks to everyone. I know I don't say much but that does not mean I am not enjoying myself, I had the best weekend for years.
A big thanks must go to Mr.and Mrs.Fish for there outstanding hospitality and friendliness. Thanks everyone for the laughs, the singing, the smiles, the hangover; I never want to eat another again!
Thanks Burriana500 for telling me about PistonFest. I have so many happy memories of everyone but unfortunatly I have forgotten names (alcohol perhaps!) so I won't list anymore in case I miss anyone out, except Chimgirl for organising the convoy and that fabulous smile which never left her face, and MOD500 for proving that there is life after death, Saturday morning! Thanks to everyone who told me the Tamora was a great car, I've chosen the colour, discussed engine rebuilds with everyone, hopefully next Spring I will have one. Hope to see a few of you at Wighill on Thursday night. Had a great drive back, the roads were quieter than expected so made rapid progress. Once again an almighty thanks to everyone. Sorry I nearly forgot; CHEERS TED!! next time you are the Wheatsheaf at Burn I'll buy you a pint, an outstanding effort on your behalf.

Was excellent to see you both again, glad you enjoyed it. You both can drink large quantities of Blue Bird ale!!!

Yes, myself and rods were quite nearly dead when we were wandering around Saturday morning like lost souls. Its a long time since I have felt so rough.

Good news on the Tamora!

Best Regards


MOD.

Ah sorry for the misinterpretation - I found myself filling up in stratford on the way back, whilst checking the wallet I noticed that I had just put in my last tenner. Could do with checking my account to see if anythings there but I have a very very horrible feeling that its relatively empty too... so yeah, I have less than £10's worth of petrol that probably has to see me through till, err, dont know when.

So basically, the elise fund, which we will call "x amount" is on hold until I have any more cash coming in. My petrol account is now well and truly empty, thus in order to keep my car running, I will have to eat into the elise fund, which is pretty pathetic too.

Also need to register with www.yourboot.co.uk too, but that'll have to wait till I get back from italy I think. Roll on October, will have moved to Coventry then and be able to get a job - im just not in the country enough for employers to give me a chance. Hopefully things will start looking up once I return from my hol's. Having just looked at the yourboot.co.uk website, it looks like it'll be profitable to do a few trips just to take certain items because the smarts so damn efficient with petrol!! (ignoring the time costs because I dont do much atm anyway, waiting for my uni course to start!)

Definately need to sort things out financially before I move the elise plan on. It was soooooooooooooooo good to blast into stratford and soak up the attention in it. Fantastic car, thanks again, and also thanks for raising such a friendly petrolhead!!

I still hold your son responsable for my debts over the next few years though Elise @ 21 - thats my aim right now (probably alongside the smart/a 944 )

Im going to be poor forever...

Im going to sign up for yourboot too, looks good. I think you should be able to fit stuff in the boot mate, seeing as I got home from PF with a tent, 2 chairs, a table, 2 floor mats, gas cooker, fridge, beer case, clothes and food etc in the back of mine
