hi D & D what ever happens throw a sickie !!! if you are working and disconect the phone!!

i am trying for the route of the year award (currently held by rustys lakes tour) i have roadtested the moutain section which is VERY FAST in places but had to withdraw a 9 mile single track due in my opinion to be too dangerous with 7 cattle grids and many stupid sheep who failed to move when the flat 4 approached them!! no fences add a 50ft drop one one side!!! but if any of you hardcore lads want to try it i can make it an optional extra

i chickened out of the water stage to cool down your brakes!!

i am doing the 2nd killer keilder stage next week!!

i am looking at grading the groups in to fast , faster and SCREW LOOSE section!!!!
look forward to seeing you DD

ROF LOL!!!!!!!!!

if i win the lottery i will buy a petrol station so i dont feel guilty spending the wifes housekeeping on optimax!!


ill also open a nightclub called scooby moods!!

a tunnel? a special request. i will have to try to find one most of my roads dont have fences, white lines or even tarmac in places! would long winding roads not satisfy your desires? and sexual needs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what happens when urban dwellers want to come and play with the rural lads.

hi Guy prob last sunday in nov or first sun in dec depending on numbers.
can you not sail the ship a bit faster ?
seems a pity to miss it!!!


hi naughty might need snow chains for keilder and an inflatable dingy in case you miss one of the tight bends and end up submerged!!
road tested the pub for a bar meal last night he can accomodate up to 50 in the seperate part of the pub so we can sit and reflect on the raid!!



(who knows RUSTY might want to to a RAID TO WALES !!! if this is a success)

I am really looking forward to this. The 24th of November would be preferential as:
1. I am already in the lakes visiting the outlaws
2. The 7th of december is the works xmas do and I will be slightly worse for wear and have to drive 150 miles to the start.

I could however do both but if the above was a casting vote - November please.

Cheers

Kev

Only had the car 7 weeks and spend 2k on bits - and I promised not to change it.
