Not a bad idea John,could you just make it visible after 9 in the evening?

So you should be Gordon,how could you not take a thread like this seriously.Iain,I also would like to appologise for Gordons behavior,it really is unforgivable how some people just take things for granted.

I'm still trying to spot Gordon in the video clip from his home in Spain.Looks like a nice place to live.Walking the dog this morning and a neighbour said to me "what a lovely morning and how lucky we are to enjoy in the UK".I told him i will be waking up Thursday morning overlooking Spa race track and that is the best place in the world to wake up too. As long as its not raining.

As per normal I woke up this morning overlooking the beautiful Charente river. The sun is shining so I took the dogs for a walk, stopped at my neighbour's for a quick cognac and into the vineyard for a spot of work by 10 am.

Now tell me how lucky you are to wake up in England!

ha ha . . . I made my own numbers last year, seemples

having had red roundels for 5 years I got rumbled at Spa as they should be white . . . . even the CoC said they where fine (Johngee has always said not blue book) so I removed them in order to be allowed out

this year I'm cutting back and not having roundels at all . . .asides the cost saving the doors will be 2g lighter as well, as its both sides I won't have to have the car corner weighted either. its a win win situation!

the grapes are fine Terence but the vines are driving (me) up the wall!
