Anyone interested in this Sunday.
The traffic should be less most of the Grockles have gone home
I have an all day pass to use, seems sad to waste it
And I have just got the car back after its respray, so been without it for a week and want to show it off. Its the first time its looked good since February.

Think yourself lucky it's six weeks now and counting - mind you I needed a little more than a respray!

Hoping to get the car back tomorrow or Tuesday. If it's tomorrow I will be there!

Don't think I'll be able to make it. Managed to get myself entangled in something involving a boat, lots of scary water and I think death.
Does anyone want my car when I'm gone?!!!

I know how you feel. You know the wreck that has killed a couple of divers in the last month, the Kyarra. I was almost added to the list this afternoon. Out of 5 years of diving and my 6th time on the kyarra this was the closest to death I have ever come.

I have just been allowed to come off the O2 so the hyperbaric nurse thinks I have purged any significant amounts of nitrogen from my system, I just have to take it easy for a couple of days.

Just managed to avoid a few hours in the pot (decompression chamber) by getting O2 down me ASAP.

Not fun, still shaking and throwing up.

I need a hug

Youre too skinny to hug, go hug Beachbum!

I thought the video did you some credit, it was the fastest I have seen you go!

Not going to be able to make Sunday, the car's not going to be ready until Monday, and I wouldn't embarrass you all by turning up in a Diesel Skoda! It has got traction control though, so I might be able to keep it on the road!

Hopefully catch up with you guys next week.

Absolutely anything, a blast on some twisty roads. Dont see the point in going along some major A-road or Dual carriageway.

yet again, I cant make it out as I'm off to London to see my brother. He has just bought an S2000, so should be able to have some fun with that. I will be out for the next run, I promise ! Also need to meet Beachbum to get this induction kit sorted. You have my number, when is a good time for you?
