Phil,
Nope, hence they asked me . Needed car with 18s on and decent power (so I have one of those, who cares? ), as they are track-day tyres.

Yes, that's right Alex.

In fact, no. I'm not taking the cossie, I'm taking 'Bigfoot' the monster truck

Take the piss mate - must be hard making such a difficult choice between a MkV RS wannabe escort, and a mini

not much point asking you wass there, I mean, It's not as if you go fast enough to warm them up

Oh, and my cars ready - BUT...I've got to go to the doctors this morning as I slipped yesterday and have injured my ankle - just hoping it's not too bad

He will never take me alive

Although on current form I think I will do myself in before then

In th last week I have...

1. cut 2 of my fingers with a circular saw ( got bandages on now)
2. Injured my knee laying laminate flooring
3. badly bruised my other hand (yes it is difficult to type0
4. now I have injured my ankle ( at the mo I cant put any weight on it at all, or move it in any direction)

Quality week so far
