I'm sorry to hear that. The bus was still extant, last I heard.

Free to deserving home. Arai open-face lid; I'll get the size tomorrow. Suit is around 5'10" and slim.

Will F1 cars be penalised for crossing the white lines too? It's not fair if they aren't, yet clubbies are.

Agreed Paul, hence my...

"Spend the fortnight surfing"

...comment.

There's good surf to be had at Anglesey, and there's a static wave place along the north coast (which I haven't been to).

I gave my board away five years ago...

With all the grumping that went on about the moving of the 24hr from Snetterton to Anglesey and so on, I had a look at the times and mileages; as I remember there was about 50 miles of difference getting from Edinburgh to either circuit.

Spend the fortnight surfing.

Well done to him.

I saw the last couple of laps - went to the pub for my tea - and observed that the bumpy downhill left / right at the end of the start/finish straight has been smoothed out and made less difficult. That's a shame.

By pure chance - by way of elderly 2-stroke motorcycles - I might've happened upon a pile of 1100 BMW stuff. Couple of engines and some bits'n'bobs, I think. Emdy need anything?

What if the seat's at an angle? It'll both pass and fail, resulting in an existential crisis at the MSA.

Make sure that they're not rusty enough to foul on the steering swivel.

"..a little race series that is using the venue in a months time.."

Aye, but they're a bunch ae fannies (and you can tell them that if you want). Spoilt children.

I agree with Bully. Two race entries is two race entries no matter who drives in them.

As a PS, the cost of licences, BARC memberships and so on seems to have escalated somewhat.

Blue or red, incidentally?

Red is milk chocolate and blue is plain, to qualify the question...

Francis,

I went to Croft in my first year, then down to Goodwood for the Festival Of Speed hillclimb on the Saturday and up to Anglesey for the oversubscribed race on the Sunday. Went off and took the fuel line off; didn't qualify. Long way home.
