Default Not the 65th birthday present i had hoped for.

Today im officially old as its my 65th Birthday . Its the age you are never going to reach but will. Its also the 6th Anniversary of the first 200mph run .
Lifes never been better & ive spent today preparing the car, & arrived home covered in oil as if im a teenager but more of that below .

A few in the MAD camp were aware i was going to celebrate my 65th with an attempt to get the car over 213+ at Brunters but im afraid at the 11th hour, health & safety grounds wont allow it to go ahead .
Im trying to find away around the problems so that an attempt can be made at some point soon.

Quite a few folks had an idea about it I can sort of see where the Brunters health and safety bods are coming from... I mean what if someone slipped on all that oil you will put on the track??? Haha only joking
