Your'e all only jealous because they chose us not some hyped up overpriced series or what ever to represent what we do. And as for rides around the new 300 in my car dont worry I will have people queuing up to sample the delights of being driven round a brand new circuit in a V8 race car judging by the people who have asked me already. As for Lydden it wouldnt be so bad if I could get the thing into top gear around there!

On another natter subject, we have the CTCRC Awards Dinner and Dance this Saturday so looking forward to that, will be giving out the CadArt Best Presented Car of the Year award which will be a nice 34" x 24" mounted canvas print a prize worth having, and hopefully picking up a couple of pots myself.

I recycled the blown up microwave today, took the cover off and used the louvres as a windage tray in my sump! I call it 'Pie-Key' engineering!

The fairer sex are strange old things. I texted the above to my wife and her sister (who were clothes shopping) plus 3 other women who I know reasonably well.

None, I mean absoflippinlutely none, were impressed. I cannot understand it! The only thing I can come up with is that there is some sort of inuendo involved. Which they all get and I dont!

Well SamD all I can offer on the subject was that as a young man growing up in the North West London area in the 60's a female's 'Box' was slang for her genital area. Hope that helps

Two guys are finishing off fitting a shop out and are putting shelves up. 'You wait', one says to the other, 'Some old duffer will come and ask what we are selling before too long'. Sure enough, minutes later an elderly lady pushes the door open and asks quietly 'Excuse, me, what are you selling'?

'****holes', says the clever one. 'Gosh', the old lady responds immediately. 'They must be selling well- there are only two left'.

With apologies to shopfitters everywhere.
