Sorry Dan forgot that, and will have the RAC advert as well.
Oh yes and the BMMC badge.
Anything else?

Well I'm not sure I'd call post 4 posh, had a good but quite time today with a good crew.

Also, thank you to BARC for the soup run at lunch time, it was very welcome.

What a great couple of days, very eventful Monday.
I guess some of you heard the call for a Doctor to post 7 for a marshal just before lunch.
Well folks I can tell you the the Doc's do a great job.
I found the quick way over the armco and landed on my arm which was not in the best place to take the bulk which is the rest of me.

Lucky nothing broken but it don't work very well at moment, and it hurts more than a little.

Thanks to the guys on post for the sympathy, they never said one one word to extract the Michal................. just loads of them.
Maybe I should have been at the posh end like I thought I was.
Never mind still a very good event.

It's just been on the news....
Scientists are investigating an earthquake in the south of England, centred around the Andover area........That'll be you Pete

Hope the arms better soon mate

Circuitmarshal · 24 Mar 2008, 20:48 (Ref:2160569)

Thanks Alan,
Like I said no one taking the p1ss!!

No driving for a couple of days not got an auto.

breakdown4 · 24 Mar 2008, 21:00 (Ref:2160582)

Well we were certanly busy with all the off's!!! I wondered what happened at post 7 hope the arm get's better soon.

Circuitmarshal · 24 Mar 2008, 21:08 (Ref:2160587)

They were going to call you to get me up but they thought you winch wouldn't be man enough!!

That was me at your window when the driver on to straight tow thought he didn't need the steering wheel.

breakdown4 · 24 Mar 2008, 21:17 (Ref:2160595)

I fitted a new winch cable this year so it should have been ok

And yes I thought he was being a bit optimystic! could account for some of the spun and continued's I suppose

The Flagman · 24 Mar 2008, 21:41 (Ref:2160622)

The trip from East Yorkshire was well worthwhile. Thanks for your company to the folks on Post 15. To have cars in real four wheel drifts at high speed about 10 feet from your feet is a real privilege. The scene took me back 30+ years so I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia. Verdict - F2's spectacular, Top Hat brilliant and Healeys awesome. Grand day out!

Hasn't stopped you typing so you must be able to type right handed.
Get well soon.

A big Thank You to Dan, Dee, Ron, Bryan, Bryan and Pat for an enjoyable 2 days on Post 12. Fortunately not a lot to do, would have been very different if F2 number 5 had t-boned number 2 instead of just clipping him!

The weather could have been a lot worse just a shame the wind was so bitter and strong.

zakeriath · 25 Mar 2008, 17:14 (Ref:2161328)

The racing was good, but not as good as the soup on Sunday.

happyhammer · 25 Mar 2008, 19:48 (Ref:2161409)

Aye, soup was a nice touch. And free.

I was wondering what that orange blob on the floor was (I thought someone had dropped their jacket). Hope the arm is okay.

Circuitmarshal · 25 Mar 2008, 20:15 (Ref:2161443)

Apparently they had a truck load of soil to fill the crater!!
So if any less well built marshals work that post they won't get lost in the hole.

Being left handed I'm getting good at hitting the keys with the right, you never know I may be able to type with both hands after this!!

M Greenslade · 26 Mar 2008, 08:58 (Ref:2161838)

I watched your graceful fall from post 9, especially enjoyed the half somersault with twist and pike, followed by the dying swan - excellent. you scored three 6's and a 5, not bad.

Seriously though, hope the arm is not the important one!!!

Bladders......................

Circuitmarshal · 26 Mar 2008, 18:44 (Ref:2162267)

Bladders,
Sir thanks for your score those buggers on post with me said it wasn't worthy of a score.
The arm is half important as it's the left one and I'm left handed.
This evening it's much better still very stiff but not so painful.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and wishes, to all that don't know what we're on about there will NOT be a replay.
