Hey Rickmeister,
Can you explain what's all this crap about whitelines maked on the track? I hear the drivers have been told to stay within the new lines and away from the corner apexes by up to a metre or so. This is not difficult for some of the paying drivers, they do that anyway, but is this for real?
PS. Bath for the Cup? On your bike. Bath for the drop next year more like. Bloody lucky this time mate!

I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about! But there's certainly been a wiffy hot spot over MB for years. And I presume the huge pipe is to do with the Morgan owners club. Am I right, or is the Ziggy Marley concert on again?

Hey Dreamracer,
Question. Why does the picture of your Sud flash all four lights at once? My Sud had the Marelli electrics and never more than one headlight would work at a time. Then the wire would melt and smoke pour from the airvents.

:-*In best Leslie Philips accent, fiddles with moustache:
"Hellooo! Ding dong! I say! What are a couple of divine creatures such as you two doing at a frightful motor race? More Champagne?"
The reaction from some correspondents on this forum, who frankly should know better, has been little short of amazing! Although I think Smokie redeemed himself with the magazine comment.
But generally, it's been like a verbal Carry On film. All cos a couple girls want to spend a weekend camping. Really gents, get a grip. As the late great Syd James would say on seeing the innocent young Barbara Windsor character come mincing into the campsite..... Pphhwwwooorrrr!!
Now if only we could all find an event only women go to....

Hi Felix
An MOT is no guarantee of arrival!!
So that's at least two Commers on MB this year then.What date do you leave? We could have a race to see who's Commer is best. Also will you be dressed as a gorilla, cos if so, I owe Brian (Liverpool boys) twenty quid.

Brian,
Would love to catch up with you on MB, cold ones always go down well. Look out for a Commer van with Cock Piss Partridge written on it's roof.
I understand the big Club Arnage hook up is scheduled at the Champagne bar in the village at 9.00pm Saturday night. However, on past experience, no one makes it due to other distractions. I fully expect to be upside down in a hedge by then. But if I do make it, can I take this opportunity to apologise in advance for my terrible behaviour, I can't think what will come over me.
We'll also be in the Sports Bar opp the main entrance on Friday for a few lunchtime snifters before going into the town for the drivers parade and a right proper lash up.

H mate, sorry completely missed this thread until this morning and it's been bothering me ever since! I bought a 500 ml bottle of Coke at the services today and having absent mindedly taken a thirst quenching slug, your thoughts came back to me. The bottle was slung in the bin immediately. I havn't felt so ill since I was on the Portsmouth Express!
When I see you, remind me to tell you what went on in a Germans tent in Parking Rouge, vis a vis needing instant relief.
However, the main reason lorry and van drivers piddle into bottles is to do with their favourite hobby; murdering hitch hikers. Having just strangled the aforesaid Sociology student and dumping his/her body in a rolled up carpet in a layby near say Market Harborough, they obviously don't want to leave any forensic DNA evidence lying about. So they piss in a bottle and throw it out of the window near Bury St Edmunds or some such dump miles away, thereby throwing PC Plod off the trail.
Oh, and if you think your old fella likes it in the neck of a bottle, then you should try it in a thermos flask stuffed full of warm raw liver, it's lovely! Apparently. So someone told me.

Very wise Brian, I guess H will be going in a Jag Mk II and returning in a Ford Ranger. Or a black mariah.
The bet will be paid out in sterling, though I'm fairly sure my money is safe.
We're on MB too, so bound to bump into each other.

Brian whack,
You're right, no one seemed to see the Commer chippy, so I guess it never made it. I did offer them a spare engine after theirs threw a rod. I recall they had already got one and it was being installed in time to leave for the race. I told them they'd never make it as far as Pompey!
As to who is going in what, we are in our Commer van again and also taking a Porker 996, so it should be an interesting race (provided I get an hour head start from Caen). I think I can almost guarantee we will be the only Commer van in Le Mans driven by someone dressed in a gorilla outfit, with Batman as his co-driver. I'll wager £20 for the first person who can prove otherwise.

Werner,
One can only wonder at the mentality of an administrator who writes to tell you that the tickets are printed and will be sent soon.Why not just send the bloody tickets or don't bother writing. Unbelievable!
