Still waiting for tickets to arrive.

BUT tent ready, co-driver primed and ready and best of all....200SX passed MOT today, despite 2 years of neglect so that is going this year.

Got my stickers for the car yesterday, just got to wait for a nice day to put them on the Ovlov.

The bad bit is,  I have to wash the car before I them on.

If you're going through hell, keep going.

GE and Camping Passes arrived yesterday courtesy of Brian @ 1st tickets  ;D, slight problem in that the GE Tickets don’t fit the holders!! I know simply folding them to the right size is the solution, but I must admit I like to retain my unblemished example for posterity!!

Never mind, Its almost here!! :D

Nice frame, did you steal it from a man in Gurnsey  :police:

The bloke you are thinking off is from Jersey isn't he? ;D ;D ;D

Hi
Can't see the pic, so I do not know if it is me being wound up or Fagey.

I must check the tent tomorrow! Tickets arrived, by one only one camping ticket holder, when I have ordered two camping tickets?!

Been getting in the mood by pounding around La Sarthe on GT4 and watching McQueen's epic.  I might just be talked into driving a 3 hour kart race next weekend, too.

Other than that, I hate to say it, but apart from getting my stuff packed up, all I have left to do is wait.

gturner - like your style.  I'm off to do a 6 hour endurance karting event at Buckmore Park http://www.buckmore.co.uk/content.php/23020?eve_ref=5032 today.  There'd be no other reason to be up at this hour on a public holiday.

Monaco yesterday  :), Turkey in a couple of weeks  :) and sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to lose my job  :'( means the 2 weeks remaining are going to fly by!

I am mostly concentrating on looking for a new flat!  LM is going to be a bit of an inconvenient interruption... :-\

Had an erection in the garden today, all ok. Also got my seat out opened a bottle and had a smoke. All working well. Little worried that I sat in my chair for half an hour and did not fall asleep. Oh and I got my head burnt. Wife went out to an ailing friend at 4.30 so I laid on the settee until 8.30... sweet, only interruption was having to get up for vodka  ;D

Bike serviced, MOT done, tent checked, BBQ and drank copious amount of alcohol, not a bad weekends preparation.

I orderd the Le Mans 24hr game for the playstation today. With a bit of luck it will be here for the weekend to have fun with a few beers.

It may even make the trip to france if the bus our driver is getting us has a tv  ;D

Is that the old LM game for the playstation with Tiff Needell commentating or is there a new version?
I tested negative for patience.
