I wonder if he has made it to the top yet??
he's probably still halfway there, cursing those nutters in the howling scoobies (and evo ) while fighting the backdraught we created

Wonder if he's met up with his m8 who was sweeping the Grimsel Pass (or one of them anyway!) from top to bottom?

stormy
then I hear he asked MRK to go faster Looooonnnney
He didn't tell me that! Wait till I get hold of him
He had a wonderful day, big thanks to your son for looking after him. I don't really think it sank in just how lucky he was to drive my car, get a go in your car, then finally get blasted round the circuit with mark
I'll be up for another go in the new year deffo, and I think he will come along too.

I've just swapped my tyres front to back, and the nearside are knackered, going to be needing some new ones soon, still, it was worth it

See you soon,
Chris.

We went faster too, topped out at *55mph, then had to brake rather hard for the right hander

What made me laugh was that I went over to see Chris, and asked if he wanted to come out for a ride. Chris looked at me all puzzled, and concerned, and said quite clearly 'arrhhh NO', but you can take ickle Chris out if you want

He had a great time

I've done the nurburgring with you mark, anything else would be a letdown
Isaac slept most of the way back that day, all the way up the M1, into Chesterfield and over the tops.
"Are we there yet?" he asked about 40 mins from home LOL

See you soon m8,
chris.

I don't know how many of you are aware (as I kept it quiet) but my beloved P1 is no more - written off at Castle Combe. My first scooby and will probably be my favourite ever car - I was very sad when I got the message that it was written off

I think the pic below is the best ever photo and will be cherished forever.



However the new car is going to be something very special too - STi V Type RA V-Limited with about 360bhp - Nice



Marv - see you on the drag strip next time and be ready to get your *** kicked again

Terry well done with the new car matey having seen it is the business. Please pleases dont sticker it and make it look like a tonka toy. Mind you
with your Chav cap may be you ought to:-)

Suppose in a wierd way I was honoured to be with you in the car when
your P1 ended its days being driven rather than stolen and burnt out by
some chavs.

PS those doggy bags that came out of the dash werent very big ???

Bad news about the P1 m8

Like the look of the new one - do it up like Marv's and you can be like twin brothers

I'm almost certainly buying this tomorrow:

Dyno

What you been doing to your EVO Mrk?

Cheers

Rog

p.s. not long 'till June, now
