Mike is far too old for you Chip, you can do so much better

 

Ive got a date on saturday with a girl who is "a little" younger than mike anyway mate, so im sure i will get over it

 

"A little" as in age or height

Age mainly, but she is only 4'11 too, so a bit of both

 

Now this is getting to Gary Glitterish for me

 

See they no you too well Chip

 

LOL, nah she is perfectly legal, im not that bad!

big difference between likind older teenage girls like 16-19 and liking kids like gary glitter does!

BIG difference!

 

BETTER BOOK YOURSELF IN FOR SOME PLASTIC SURGERY THEN!

 

Chip is deffo an uglier version of Gary Glitter

 

A woman scorned and all that - still can't get over the fact you were rejected .

That is some entry list!

 

Micky you can scratch Jack Sleator from the list as his engine ain't ready I was talking to him today
guys you will see the McHale name mentioned 3 times above,thats father and 2 sons what a garage

 

If you havn't been to Ireland to either watch or compete in events you are seriously missing out.

Been over several times for Wexford, Waterford and the one at Clonakilty - or "clinky clonky" as we used to call it

The locals love it Was doing chase car one year and we were parked up waiting for the rally car by a church. There was a notice stuck on the church notice board advising the locals that the Sunday Church Service was cancelled this particular Sunday as the priest was the stage start marshal on one of the stages

Over here all we ever get is objections over noise and the local N.I.M.B.Y.'S complaining

Ireland is the place to be

 

Ireland

and mainly in West Meath
