Autocar, 27 June, photo on page 30.

Actually, i'm so sad I even know the date and venue it was taken (Bedford 25 May) and the fact that Josh took the photo.....

Unhappy

I draw the line at buying Autocar nowadays, but I would still be very interested to know what the F@@K one of my pix is doing in there. Bet it hasn't got a 'kin by-line either.

Tranquiliser buddy - it's one Pete has mailed me also a while ago and he is quoted in the accompanying text (about track days) so my guess is he gave it to them...

Dave "Ill frickin' kill you all, hunt down your family, and kill all your sheep(?) if you so much as breath near me again!!!" -T -S requesting that someone else take a tranquiliser?
That aggression control course has worked wonders!

The photos are one and the same, the Autocar one was cropped.

The car behind is an STI (5 or 6), and I think it may have been SdB.....

You miserable little worm - if you are going to paraphrase me, get it right - it's "Ill frickin' kill you all, hunt down your family, and **** all your sheep(?) if you so much as breath near me again"

What aggression control course.....

Uh, right, I was just thinking of the sheep though.
9 out of 10 sheep interviewed said they would choose death over a ******** from you. Not to dent your pride or anything (none of them were real lookers anyway).



This fame thing, seems a lot of Scooby and Evo drivers get bit parts in mags, and its exactly the kind of shallow self gratification I crave.
Pity that no one wants to take photos, or test on tracks, Integra's.
I have the looks, pizaz, and sense of humour, but I chose the worng car. Typical.

If you bought, instead of tyre kicking at your local Scoob dealer, you could also be famous by now......

PS - sheep - who cares about looks???

ooooooh now you're asking for it.

The only way your old shed/Fiesta or The Thing from the Black Lagoon could have passed me would be if all the sheep in Britain that haven't been barbecued already, or thrown themselves on the Foot and Mouth pyres (hearing that you were back in the country) farted simultaneously in the general direction of the back of your car and blew you past.

How in your dreams can you imagine that Sir Pete's car could have overtaken me either when it was crawling around under the strain of it's extra avoirdupois (200kg + all yours and Carolynn's money + all the Wallet Muncher's money), I mean come on.

Essex, where men are men and sheep are nervous.

Right.

The only reason your (obsolete) car is so fast is because it is propelled by all the hot air that comes out of your mouth.....

When both Sir Pete and I overtook you we were going so fast you didn't notice - we would have been a blur - probably that hot air from your mouth was putting a heat haze in front of you too thus distorting your view.

There is only only one lot of money - it is either in my wallet or the Royal Bank of Croney, not both - so there was only half the weight

Oh and yes - South East London - where the men are men and so are the women.....

PS - I seem to remember your email to me went something (exactly) like this....."You'd never get me to admit it in public, but I thought Pete's car looked
superb" - I can forward it anyone in case you deny it.....

Want to carry on hehehe???????

All your money is clearly in the Royal Bank of Croney's pocket that's why his car is leaning over so much to his side in the photo's.

On the SE London thing, I bow to your greater experience in that area, but personally I've always been able to tell the difference, as my outstanding career as an amateur Gynaecologist bears out

&gt;&gt;LOL. And it was stationary at the time!! If it wasn't for the passenger, it would have fallen over. The day after my salary is paid into the Royal Bank of Croney, he needs stabiliser wheels on that side of the car....

&gt;&gt; But watch out for those Blackheath lady boys - they call them lucky dips - you only find out what you are getting when you stick your hand in

Lol, so how many lucky dips have you had as opposed to unlucky dips?


and hey, SE girls are fine, best in Britain, except possibly for Nottingham, but in the SE they do seem to be a lot more, um, is the word, willing?

How dare you, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my lovely Blackheath wife; I mean, yes, she has some secondary bodily hair but there's nothing wrong with that as it's only in the area just above her bollocks.

Oh and remind me never to shake hands with you again
