Default No National Day for me..................

Absolutely gutted

Something personal has come up today which means I wont be at National Day at all this year.

Been working on and off to get the car done for the trackday Saturday and Sunday, and been slaving like a twat over the past few weeks.

I've been looking forward to National Day since after last year when I took my car off the road, so I couldn't be more pissed off.

Still, there are more important things in life than cars, so I've decided it'll be done when it's done. This personal situation has put it all in perspective.

So, sorry to all the people I promised track rides to.

Big thanks to all the people who have helped me out, including Sean and Brom, Tim Finch, and all the lads at SCC.

Really couldn't care less about cars right now, so it can sit there...........

Absolutely gutted..............

Wounder Rich

But whatever it is - as you say sometimes other things take a higher priority in life.

No doubt it will be out soon enough when it's ready

Hope everything works out for you Rich, sorry to hear you won't be at nat day.
