My weekend starts tonight with going to an artsy fartsy thing at the theatre that goes on (and on and on) for THREE HOURS!!! It includes scenes of disembowling a motor vehicle, staring at an old man staring at us, dancing curtains, a giant mirror, shouting at the orchestra (yes - audience participation  !) , naked women urinating on stage and a full size live highland cattle bull ! (There have been some Health and Safety issues with the bull and I am rather hoping his contract will have been cancelled by tonight.. I am not sure if row H of the stalls is far enough from the stage!) I cant help thinking that my weekend can only get better after tonight.....  F P.S. We have a little Bastille Day celebration tomorrow in the local park too! |

No Motorsport, but our new band has it's first gig this Saturday lunchtime in Warsash. So by the time Le Mans comes round and the Friday night DfH party we should be pretty good!
What about Sebring? Will you be alright by then? |

Well I won't be going out for a drink because the bloody pub burnt down last weekend while I was on holiday.  Dx Bugger!!! There goes the job as well then! Yes, there is that minor detail. I may have to get a real job now.  |

Sure, shouldn't be a problem! I believe Piglet knew a hair dresser in that same field |

My weekend is planned as follows.
Up at 6 am for a drive down to Banbury. Meeting up with the Hancox family to deliver to them the "Debbie Hancox Memorial Trophy" which i have been constructing for them for the past six months.
Then off to Prodrive about a mile up the road for the Charity Open day.
Then a visit to Grand Prix Models show room in Banbury where i will no doubt part with some cash.
Then its off to Brafield in Northampton for the saturday night stock car meeting. Getting drunk and having a BBQ afterwards and sleeping in the car.
Sunday, working the hang over off and then another days racing at Northampton.
So quite a full weekend for me.

I'm leaving the country, fed up with getting wet. Off to Canada - States - Canada, back in 3 weeks time. Packed the CA flag and the DFH t-shirts. - That will confuse them over there. Going to have a go at driving a 29ft motorhome, with twin slide outs. Now all I have to remember is to not drive with the Slides out in the out postion and as they say in Italian Job Michael Cane " Just rememeber, in this country they drive on the wrong side off the road" Cheers all, have a cold one for each one of you (well I have a go) |

Neil,
Enjoy your 'vacation' at the yanks say.
Besides winding in the windouts prior to leaving. Just remember to empty the 'holding tank' through that really smelly hose. Suggest wear mask and gloves.
But enjoy the experience.

What about Sebring? Will you be alright by then? ` The man has a point...maybe I SHOULD save up and do Sebring? Paul would do it I'm sure...not sure about the others... How about "The Tropicomas, Live at Sebring, Sponsored by Turn 10 (including flights, 5 star accomodation, food, hire car, suntain lotion and a night with three hawiaan tropic girls each...and a jet ski, and a pit pass, and errr oh beer...nearly forgot that)  ?? |

Went to Newby Hall and saw this which I thought you gals and guys would like to see.
Aston Martin protoytpe DP215/1
built for the 24 Hours le Mans 1963 driven by P.Hill/Bianchi car n°18
Retired in the early part of the third hour from transaxle failure. It had briefly led and then settled into second for some time

Drool drool- wish I'd gone down now. That is THE car I would pick if I could have any car in the world. Simply stunning.
Cheers Dave!
