These winters are ever so tiresomedreary, same old grisley grey all day, then boomshanka - darkness falls like tonne of bricks over the land not long after lunch, and its dark all over again

I work from home, so miss the daylight drives. Its depressing reaching the boomshanka part of the day still stuck at the computer working. I wouldnt be suprised if my S becomes nocturnal, sprouts fangs and whiskers, & goes rooting for turnips during the night...

Read your notes on your profile page. Ought to be quite a qucik one you have there..

If lighting is s a problem , either Philips Vision Plus bulbs, or the Modwise kit and the Vision Plus bulbs do wonders for the car. Doesn't help with ice, but at least I can see where I'm going now..

I also uprated my bulbs, much better I cant wait for summer though, good driving weather, warm sunny mornings, hot days, warm sunny evenings

Have you had an incident with an ice patch then Bert? And how did you get the name Psycho?

Chin up, at least when you do get out it tends to be cold but dry, ideal to get the most of the 254 horses

What are your plans for work over Christmas BTW - fancy coming for a hoon next Thursday at all?

So you're do the old "manning the phones" routine too Thankfully my main client finished yesterday until the 4th, so I can enjoy a relaxing break...

28th is down to Wickham (nearish Portsmouth), Beauleiu (New Forrest, past Southampton) then Boscombe Bay near Bournemouth - would be a great blat and over some very good roads

Details have been moved to the TVRCC site, but we've leaving Clacket Lane services at 8:30 sharp.

Sounds awfully early Tripps Im almost cert joy will not agree hooning that far that early is not the wisest of ideas. Maybe, we will see!

I best finish work... got 2 hours to do, its xmas eve and almost 4pm!

Not really manning the phones, just checking for emergency emails, most of my clients are smart enough to leave business behind them during the holidays!
