Have a great day at Bedford Ben, with a bit of luck it'll be dry. I like the black rims and your new seat, you will feel a lot more secure, a 6 pt harness would be even better. Take it easy the first couple of laps and enjoy.

don't know if I'm going to Trento, would like to. It clashes with a round of the german ch'ship so I'll probably go to the german event. This years calender looks like 2 events in Austria, 1 in Luxembourg, 8 in Germany.
One day I'll go to Italy and see what it's like. it's already costing a bit of cash and the season hasn't started yet.

my son is driving over this year to a couple of events, you are perfectly welcome to come over and stay for the weekend. He could pick you up somewhere before reaching M25. (driving a 300ps Scooby, not a ford)

kenny.
