ahhhh Mr Z wondered where you'd been hiding  ;)

so many questions flying around, do you have any high vis gear? are you taking flip flops or wellies? how are you going to wash your hair? can you fit your boom box in your car? its a nightmare, we'll all need a holiday to recover from the worry  ;D

oh and the best bit of all we can all abuse Braders  ;D  >:D  ;D  >:D Kelly has come up with some great ideas and she's never even met him  ;D bring on the gloss  :D



Don't you worry Weena, I have something remarkably vile in store for young Bradley. It will make people feel quite ill when they see him but it'll also make Vicky laugh like a drain when she sees the photos  ??? ;D No more clues...

If you say its remarkably vile then I look forward to every minute of the application.... I am glad i suggested waterproofs and will stand at a safe distance incase of spillage. >:D

I still say a plastic bin liner will be sufficient.  If you take a whole roll you can have a new one every day.     :P

I still have a whole roll of heavy duty ones I scavenged last year at LM. They have nice yellow handle things that can be used as a drawstring to keep it secure below ones buttocks and save any embarassing exposure if its windy. That is assuming that one will only be wearing the bin bag and nothing else :D
I will lend you some.

I went to the Nordschleife yesterday to drive on it.  Even a week before the race, the Germans are building scaffoldings, gazebo's and all other things next to te fences. 
Seems like the best spots will be taken by tonight or tomorrow.

You can't blame them, we do the same at Le Mans every year!

It shouldn't be to bad, just occasional rain, which means short cloudbursts in the eiffel, lol ;D
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

Rick/LPP/Andy/Pyro/Bradders/Doris - are any of you taking a music playing device?

Think everything is ready for our adventure now. Its been expensive, I've had to buy a new car! dont think the Polo would have made it.

Where is the best place to stop to get alcohol en route?

Cant wait to see you all  :D  :D

Anyplace in Ffrance will do Weena, or go to a supermarket when you enter germany? If you happen to pass through Luxembourg, that might be an interesting shopping spot also.

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

Having had the lowdown from Rick about the car arrangements, I reckon the only thing we'll have room for is an iPod Nano  ::)
