Great work by your dog, Tim.
But we are at the point where all those little things have to be fixed - hence the size of the part on my photo.
You should have seen the main frame rails !

this is the best thread all year

no stick, she was more into lumps of chalk, dead fish, general beach wash and bird chasing, we've been considering a continuation, or a MK2 Doberwoman ever since.

One of my Mogs has today cost me the price of a new set of rear shox for the 924, and is now asleep in a cardboard box without a care in the world, no thought of going out and earning his keep to pay me back.

Ruddy animals.

You obviously haven't grasped that cats use a fraction of their immense mental powers, that they aren't using to control their human staff, to establish a rodent exclusion zone, eliminating the need to go out into the nasty, wet, cold outside world........

Or at least so my master tells me.......


Merry Xmas and a healthy, happy New Year to all my motorsport friends, anyway

Scooby's not too keen on the camera, as the sentiment here seems to be "Pack it in with the flashy thing!" That's our bed by the way, not his! Who said it's a dog's life?

Don't think he's too keen on the Christmas tree either, as it means his basket is ejected from its regular position. I think he's been trying to work out a way of peeing on the tree!

Happy Christmas to everyone. Hope to see some of you at a racetrack somewhere next year.

The guy opposite us has just about trained his 4th or 5th Doberman . . . and it reminded me well that they're hard work for the first few years, time consuming and expensive. I have several automotive projects, a wife and a son now, not sure I need a dog as well at the moment.

Tania, our dog got run over once, ran accross the road and hit by a MK2 escort. she got up and walked off, pretty much wrote the car off, rad into the fan, smashed lights, water piddling out everywhere, asides a few cuts and bruises the dog was fine! another incident was the vegamite . . . it dissapeared, all thast was left on the pantry floor was a yellow lid . . .later in the garden I found the thick glass base of a brown jar, the rest, was gone, no ill effects!

Our family dog when I was a kid was an Airedale Terrier called Henry (and many other names depending on what he'd just done). During the course of his life he ate lots of soap (very partial to Shield bath soap), Brillo Pads, lots of cling film, an entire pound of sausages from the frying pan, a pound of cheddar cheese (Tom & Jerry moment watching that go down), several pieces of Lego, several wooden spoons, plaster gouged from the kitchen wall and goodness knows what else. It was a wonder he didn't end up with a pierced bowel!

Thick as two short planks and twice as heavy. Oh, hang on, that's me...

Merry Xmas one and all, I hope to be waving flags at you somewhere next year. Most likely Donington!

Nothing like laying in front of the fire. Talking of pet cost, he suddenly started being sick, cut a long story short, had to rush him to the vet hospital at Potters Bar, cost, about the price of a full race Fiesta.

As Ralf has turned this into a "Heres a picture of My Dog",thought I'd post this shot of our sorely missed boy's. Laddie [left] Benji [right] were both always 'up for a laugh'!!

In the case of Eric's Fiesta that's probably £30 too much now.
