for me it was getting my race licence and doing my first season, and working on the class winning car in the britcar championship, and finally paying off the tool man for all the gear in my garage.

Buying my first S2 ERST, what a beauty she is!

Other than that it has been a shockingly bad year for me, the worst of my life so far.

Getting a Triple Distinction at colege was a definite plus

Hertfordshire not getting back to me before clearing, forcing to me to take another gap year is rather annoying.

The highlight of 2009 for me is yet to come, the end of 2009 will be my highlight.

So far the worst Year I've ever had in all my 27 years.

Roll on 2010!!!!!

Where abouts in Spain were you Alan ? Anywhere near my location ?

For me a few small personal ones and getting quite close to achieving a couple of targets.

A highlight was spending two weeks in Las Vegas, then flying to Germany from Vegas for the David Haye fight and seeing a British boxer get the title for the first time since Lennox then after going to the Dam for a few days, was a super super holiday.

Well done the two above, always wished id taken more time concentrating at school and passing exams to get into uni at school. I'm 29 so still could if i wanted to i guess, but only would want it for the young 18 plus women there now ha. Other than that quite happy at how life has turned out so far.

Good luck.

John

Buying my first home for a really good price, in a recession and all on my own!
Getting properly together with my girlfriend after a few months chasing.

Only really bad bit I think was breaking my leg about 2 weeks after buying my house meaning I didn't move in for ages

For me its been OK i guess. Nothing that great.

Losing 8stone is the definate highlite, its changed my life tbh.
Banged more bitches in this one year than i have the 22 years before, fucking ownz.
Ibiza in the summer was quality again, as usual.
Generally got the same friends, same family so all is fine there too.

Shitey bit is getting a new job. More money but more responsibility, pressure and expectation - thought it would be good but its truly wank so looking for something new asap - which is easier said than done.
