That's not good. I've been keeping half an eye open on the webcam for loads of scoobs.


Last minute car hire?

Gutted of Crowborough reporting in!

What a nightmare, 29k from the hotel, the big end lets go

I honestly still had a fantastic weekend though, just cracked on with the role of trip photographer and had a right good drink on Friday night to drown my sorrows

It was only a downer when I heard the guys talking about their laps

Oh well, bring on Ring Hogs 2010, I'll be there with my 2.5 all sorted (engine already bought from Nige) and ready to try again.

Gutted for ya Steve, but good to see you still made the most of it. You sound a bit like me, something crap happens, but there has to be a silver lining, and a 2.5 sounds like a good silver lining!!. Good luck with it mate. When are you hoping to get it back on the road?

Your car did look the muts nuts blasting off on the unrestricted motorway, so solid ,low ,aggressive and bloody quick not to mention the exhaust note as you went by at god knows what speed!!
shame my high speed was past a bloody camera in france along with nige and phil! nearly missed the boat though.

p.s can we have a Mexican tash wearing smilie??
