Default What a shit weekend
Had a (brand new) T38 turbo stolen before I'd finished fitting it to my car

Some cunt (in a lorry by the looks of it) wrote my car off while it was parked in a car park and there are no witnesses or CCTV

I ill as fuck

My great uncle died



That has to rank up there with the worst weekends anyone has ever had I should think.

bad one mate, keep your chin up

from my point of view it was a mixed one. in between showers on saturday, i managed to get my garden shed erected just waiting on some toughened glass to finish it

yesterday should have been good at the festival of speed, but because of all the rain and mud it was not as enjoyable as it could have been why plan something like that for the same weekend as glastonbury, it will obviously rain

Chin is still up, obviously very down about my uncle, but the other stuff is just metal/money so not the end of the world.


Cheers for the support fellas.

Car was just my old mondeo LPG mate, nothing im attached to and not of any real value, so no big deal there, just a bit inconvenient having to sort myself out a new daily driver now.
