1) Static car shows are pretty fooking boring
2) Watching novice drivers poodle round the track is pretty fooking boring
3) Driving up the M1 and sitting in traffic and queing is pretty fooking boring
4) Skint
5) Ain't got much interest in cars anymore
6) Can't be arsed to get up early
7) Never planned to go anyway
8) Would rather stay at home

There you go, take you pic, or apply all eight

you own the wrong car mate, the reason why i couldnt be arsed is driving a boring car there is boring but if i had the cossie and had a proper convoy ( not 30 cars doing 70mph ) then i would deffo of remembered

1) Static car shows are pretty fooking boring
sooo dam true tbh, just soo bored ya buy some pointless parts for ya car or a new set of show plates, buy a silly t-shirt ect, take ya pick, i agree there

when ya bored ya eat, at them prices id rather be bored

and got better things to do later
ya workign all week hard so sunday is the only time ya get to watch eastenders

same here

Diaphram failed on Wastegate and didn't have a spare. Gutted as FastFord kindly gave me 6 free tickets and 4 Free Track passes

But I couldn't spare the time to go if I wasn't going to be on track. So a day of lazy bbq'ing and drinking for me as well as a Great game of cricket and then Chelsea on TV later

Yes, its fooking quick around Silverstone as well actually and thought about taking my new BMW 330Ci as well... or Seans Audi S3 that I have found myself with But couldn't be bothered as I was pretty tired from Dangerous's wedding on friday night when I was up drinking until 5am! its Supercar Rally day next weekend, then its ND and Bedford the week after, So plenty of time for trackdriving

I am going down the Garden centre, going to buy some cool power tools and play in my garden and spend some time with my dad.

Have a good day guys and girls

Got in at 3 a.m.

Ford Fair is average, but even more so when your Ford is off the road.

Wasn't going to miss the cricket (thank god I didn't!).

Arsenal Chelsea playing today.
