Can we fit a motor to the front axle to give us 4 wheel drive, and can we fit larger flags, Orts, and polish the car?
Silly comments will result in a 1 min start penalty for every word, oh no what am I saying? He's on my team!!!!!
Note to self. Take gun out of holster before pulling trigger.

Add all the magnets you like . . . . . . you will only make your car heavy!


So if we are to have a 'team car' for the length of the race, chosen on a first come, first choice basis. What is the procedure for lane allocation?

All the better for keeping the car in slot.
You can have the inside lane of the M25

PJ - each team does every lane for an hour. Twice!

Just realised - the "night time" stint is going to be interesting with unlighted cars.

I had wondered about that when first told that last year, the lights were turned off . OK for M12's, they have lights. IIR, Pioneer do not. I'll bring a torch and mount it to the roof. I have one of them 500 Watt things.

It's obvious that PJ has never seen Andy race. Andy needs a car that is atached like a roller coaster with hooks under the track. Oh, you'll see on Sunday.

TA races ran in daytime until dusk. So we will just have to have half light in the distance to make it look like sun down.

Like 'Gay Cassidy and the Sundown Kid'
Make sure you bring some spare pennies along with you on Sunday folks as there will be a well worth winning raffle prize up for rabs courtesy of Peter and his boss. AC models, Eastleigh.

Let's guess - is it the shops radio or the electric heater Peter will be standing next to all day....

I kinda assumed that as Will is a fellow Saga Lout, our car would be appropriately kitted out with 'Blues & Twos'!

I won't say what the raffle prize is (you will find out on Sunday) but it's worth £134.99, so be prepared to buy loads of tickets! All are welcome to buy tickets, except Keith!

Keith is allowed to buy tickets, they will just be twice the price.
It's a raffle Andy you, know, you buy a ticket, it has a number on it. A ticket gets pulled out of the bucket and if it's the same as your then you win. Simples.
Maybe this new fangled concept is too much for you.

OH, A LOTO. Should have said, I'm C489 @ them.
Spent a £ the other day on a scratch card, won £2, so spent that on 2 more, won a £1, got another, and I still have that in my pocket. Hang on, I'll scratch it......Time passes.....
Time passes.....Time passes.....Time passes..... A bit more Time passes.....I just lost £100,000 by one. See, it pays to scratch, I could have one £100,000 if I had 3 and not 2.
So I lost a £1 but got excited 4 times. That's 0.50p per excitement, this is good value for money. I'm off to buy a few more, I need to be excited again.


won a Birthday cake once, at a wake
