So you're a complete woman, then?
Must be true, judging by the tributes towards your driving (lack of) skill.

How did the rectifying conversation go? Something like this?
Paul;
"Now, now Dill, it's easy to sort out. You know there's three pedals in your car, tucked away in the space under the steering wheel."
Dill;
"Um, er, what's the steering wheel?"
Paul;
"You know, the round thing that makes you car's wheels turn left and right when you turn it.."
Dill;
"Ahh, yeah. I know what you mean now."
Paul;
"Well, Dill, the pedal on the right is the accelerator..."
Dill;
"Ahh! So what about it?"
Paul;
"Remember to press the bloody thing when you're driving!!!!"
I was at the ring at the weekend and halfway round a lap i was loosing power. I looked all over the engine for any signs of damage or lose pipes but couldn't find a thing.
A quick call to Paul at Zen performance, and told him the symptoms which he then diagnosed straight away, and i was back on track again.
Nice One

Some of us actually care what we look like, so that weight is steadily dropping and as of this morning was 16st 6lbs!
Besides...... you are about 1ft smaller than me at that weight, so I will let everyone else make their minds up who looks ****e!!
We looked at holding "ScoobyMunter 2007" but since you would probably enter, it wouldnt give anyone else a look in!
Regards,
Shaun.

Micky,
I was only 2 tenths slower than your best time, when I was at Avon Park last week........... and I missed TWO gears during that run!
By the time you got round the handling circuit, even I could beat that time on my push bike!
Don't even go there!!!

I was driving MY car, only thing I saw you doing with yours was pushing it
Only 2 tenths slower with a **** load more bhp, torque and boost, I'd hang my head in shame if I were you
I could beat my handling time on a bmx too
**** man, Lisa could beat my time round the handling on a pushbike, and she can neither ride a bike without falling off or drive a car.She would still beat YOUR time round the handling though

Another pretender!!!
Missing TWO gears lost me over a second.... go figure!
What was your 60ft time.... 3secs?

My worst 60ft was 2.36s at 1354hrs when the strip was rather wet.
My best 60ft 1.81s.
What were your's? Oh that's right, we're still waiting for you to run.
