The bullshit stops here.

The very best of luck Henry, Jan and I will be there to watch Jay piling up the laps, hope your new engine purrs along nicely and isn't effected too badly by the special order NASA fuel. 
We've opted for Tesco 95 in our now 76 hour, seen it's best days engine, and will use our old tyre stock, 2 X 2005, 90% used slicks, 1 X bald intermediate, and the spare tyre off my Jeep, may be a bit of a handful, but times is hard.
We might even have a little run ourselves if we feel the urge, but hey, why over exert ourselves when we can sit in a warm garage and watch it on TV.
Keep it together mate, I suggest an extra yoga session to help you remain nice and relaxed, keep away from the coffee, drive to the best of your ability, which at times borders on exceptional for a man of your age, focus both your minds, I do realise that your recent Jekyll and Hyde reversal therapy wasn't as successful as you hoped it would be, but look at it this way, at least you'll have someone to talk to in the dark and scary confines of your cockpit, and do try to stay on the black stuff, green slippery areas are to be avoided along with white lines, you know the one's I mean, so leave the one edged razor blade and short bendy straw at home, don't forget to clip your nasal hairs to remove Fridays residue.
Oh, and put Steve in for at least 1 hour and 20 mins as that may reduce the number of laps that you are adrift.
In all seriousness, may the best team win cleanly and above all, safely.
all round after the race is done regardless of the result

all round after the race is done regardless of the resultDue to urgent business commitments that need my full attention and the severe lack of spare funding, i regret that i an unable to race with Henry at Brands this weekend.
Henry & I have talked at length about this and he is undecided on what action he is going to take but i hope that all will support Henry in whatever action he decides driver wise!
Most of us treat motorsport as a hobby, funded by working bloody hard etc..... Timing is wrong on this one for me!

In fairness to Steve he made me fully aware of his intentions re: Brands whilst we were racing at Snetterton and we have spoken regularly on the phone since so I have not had to change any plans last minute.
Last week`s visit to Brands Hatch went totally to plan, engine is run in nicely, the boys at Jaz have given the car the once over this week so we`ve done all we can do.
As I said. The bulls
t stops here:
Brands hatch.
15.11.08
16.56hrs.
I am under no illusion of the threat Jay poses, I have rejected the chance to put a career driver in the car for the final race but thanks for the offers. Everyone who`s sat in number 27`s driver`s seat has paid for the privilege and I thank them for it.
We started this as simple country boys & we`ll finish it the same.
I too look forward to a clean and safe end to what has been an excellent season`s close racing with some good friends, Rod, Jan and Jay included.
Keep smiling and here`s to a couple pints after the race!

Now that's got me guessing, if true, and it does have are ring of authenticity to it, that's a great shame if only on the grounds of your good company, for we have greatly enjoyed battling with you, and look forward to your banter, rapid repartee and "Hail fellow well met" general demeanor, you will be sorely missed.Henry & I have talked at length about this and he is undecided on what action he is going to take but i hope that all will support Henry in whatever action he decides driver wise!

Henry, if indeed he is facing this dilemma, will know doubt be seeking a driver of outstanding ability with cross guarantees for the extra points for fastest lap and qualifying, Opps, that means that we may have to take the restrictors off and turn up Jay's wick to "Full on" race mode as opposed to the cruising he's been doing to date
Now lets see, Fluxy, Piers, Westwood, Hamilton, lets hope he doesn't contract a guy who turns up with an anvil, small hammer and a leather apron, humming "Once there was a man from a small town in Germany" as he will be as miserable as hell for getting the wrong Schumacher, even if he can heel and toe.

My last post went before I saw your reply, I'll now take the thread title as genuine, for we are very sorry to hear this news, see you tomorrow at testing, and hope you have resolved the problem by then. t stops here:I am under no illusion of the threat Jay poses, I have rejected the chance to put a career driver in the car for the final race but thanks for the offers.

Under these circumstances, particularly if you have to do the whole race on your own, bloody good luck to you Henry, in all seriousness mate.
