Good Morning everyone, sorry to hear of your loss @Scaf. Looks like it's going to be a glorious Bank Holiday today, get out there and drive. Meanwhile, I'll sit around at work...

Morning all, no BH here this week we get the first Monday in June so next week - unfortunately that means WFH but looking at the weather I might take coffee breaks in the garden which is looking lovely after a weekend of work (now if only it would stay like that).

Morning, all. Looks like a nice day out there. Need to drop the Ghibli in for a tracking check (again!) Bloody pot holes. Then a local village fete.

Have a good one, all

Morning all, supposed to be kayaking today but someone called it on Saturday saying high winds predicted. Hmmm… Going to do some tinkering about the house instead including butchering a Bambi leg to make some burgers and steaks. It has defrosted overnight so they will have to be cooked fresh not frozen again.

Have fun all…

Thanks for the kind works and thoughts - much appreciated.

Today will be one of quiet reflection and family time, later I will join friends to raise a glass or two at our local, in memory of our mate.

Make the most of what left of the long weekend everyone.

I saw the bruised backside mate, that was a sickening moment I’m sure.
One of those things. A fair time ago there was a thread on the Ten Tenths Motorsport forum about how historic cars shouldn’t be raced in anger and just used for demos nowadays and anyone who raced them should be burned at the stake. As evidence of this sacrilege was a photo of slightly crumpled Cooper S coming out if the hairpin at Mallory Park. The driver behind the wheel was me!

Anyway I’ve got some of it back together so that I’ve got some hard points for reference. Will then grind and fibreglass the back of the panels before grinding back and rebuilding the outside.

Worse could happen in traffic. Heck, an ex of mine backed a Yukon into one of my Mercs in the driveway. Drive it like you stole it...

Good morning all. What an amazing gig at the Bush Hall in London last night. Best gig I have been to for years. These three sisters from Mexico (The Warning) have so much talent for those that are so young and have already made three LP’s. They were note and pitch perfect which is more than I could say for bands who have been together for a lot longer. As a private show I will never get the chance to be so up close to this band again and in years to come I can say I was there. They filmed the show and everyone who was there will get a copy…

Morning, all...work from work. Short weeks are longer, somehow. No night commitments as of now, at least. Hope all are tolerating their respective exposures, and that @Andyk can hear.
