So all done now? Last October it was mid move when I flew BA to Faro. Very confusing for an infrequent flyer.....

I've joked in the past about the risks of cycling though town. Report in the local rag this week confirms my desire to avoid at all costs-

May 2017, 9 am on a Saturday morning. A car drives erratically through the centre, mounts a pavement and hits a pedestrian. (Fortunately only shaken.) Driver quickly arrested at home, somehow. Turned out the 50 yr old was 3.5 times over the legal alcohol limit (at 0900!), and when checked had no licence and no insurance......... Given Custodial sentence and 3+ year driving ban, but if the individual has been driving without a licence (or insurance) anyway, what's to stop them doing same again?

Say what you like about all of these airports, where ever they are, none of them as are nasty as Luton. We are definitely the World Leader in horrible airports, so get over it, suck it up, we outrank you all.

Yep, that's some accolade for Luton..... I think Norwich are going for 'the worst championship league football team' title this year. We're nearly there.

We normally fly at "silly" oclock from Gatwick so miss out on the "great unwashed" I flew in from Bordeaux last night and took less than one minute to get through passport control, however it took us one and a half hours to go 4 kilometres on the Bordeaux ring road !
WTF did they build an airport on the west side when most people want to go east ?

On a slightly different tack, does anyone know what the CC13 Capri went for in the RM auction yesterday? I meant to watch but got caught up with work. The owner had it restored last year and was in the 75th MM with it, then he got made redundant so had to sell. I believe it's gone to a good home so hopefully we will see it again.

HSCC have been running the races for them, but Dave Jarman & Jonny Westbrook have up to now been very hands on with admin. They've put a lot of hard work in to get the series up and running, so good to hear they will be still be involved, concentrating on series promo work next year.

Haven't posted for a while,been busy with place called Kings, had a stent fitted and the buggers captured me and put me on Worlferin , so the end of my racing days I'm afraid. Was warned against knocking myself, cutting etc etc but they didn't warn me against setting myself on fire. Was under a Trasit that had welded the fms shaft bearing to the crank, cutting the bearing track out with oxy act, piece of hot metal went dome my sleeve and set my overalls on fire, luckily Jimbo was on hand with the fire extinguisher , doctors not amused.
Progress n Locos cortina as Winkelman calls it, bit more metal moths than at first thought after acid dipping. Tim , can you turn Jimbo upright please.
