I haven't slept for about 3 days so I'm not even taking much notice of me.

You're doing well to still be conscious...

I'll trust you on that. I'm in no position to judge. But I'm finding that grape juice is helping my fluidity while screwing up my body clock even more.

well its the uprated engine mounts and original clutch as they are brilliant anyway and then suspension week or so after

What suspension set up?

[The Batman]

i went for GAZ in the end

[Yellow_or_black?]

I *HATE* the uprated clutch I got fitted at Courtenay's I rung Mark, and he did say it didn't sound normal - that either there was air, or the slave cylinder (replaced at the same time) had failed. I am seriously thinking about getting it replaced with an OEM one... I have a delightful photo from the National, courtesy of Ali, that would prove Joe and I look nothing like each other - but I look like the Goodyear Blimp in a delightful circuit jumpsuit. It's mandarin though at least I'm sure Penelope Pitstop had sexy jumpsuits Edit: sorry, I'm confusing things. Will retreat...

Cool. I'll be interested to know what you think of Gaz. I've been thinking about suspension mods for about 12 months but can't decide.

[The Batman]

yeah will do and can show you it at the next meet! (get my vx off its stilts!!!) lol

No, you're adding colour. I now declare TTIUWP.

So what clutch is that then? I've got the Sachs and it takes some getting used to (not much at all) but once you've got there its great. Built like a brick sh*thouse.

By the way, one of the great Top Gear episodes on Dave right now - Hamster in the Alonso F1 car (edit: Renault).

lol i think we went a little off subject!

[Spindoctor]

You're quite right. Back on topic: there was a male passenger in the mandarin vx this afternoon. Anyone here? Joe, are you bidding to be a mod?

[The Batman]

[Yellow_or_black?]

lol i think we went a little off subject!

I'm sorry Joe Joe, but I'm going to have to put that in 'What gets on your tits'

Off topic was good - detracts from the fact of there being another female mandarin driver [Notice I didn't say owner - sure it must just be a bit of fluff 'having a go' ]

[The Batman]

lol i couldnt think off anything else to say! its not my fault!

We all waited for you in the middle of nowhere this morning.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Do you know, when I saw the weather this morning - I was so envious. I sooo wished I had taken the details with me, because suddenly ending in the middle of nowhere seemed like an irrelevance, and I'd loved to have come. I thought of you guys, and was so pleased you had lovely weather. Did you have a great time?

[Spindoctor]

Amazing route - 90 miles through Cambs/Norfolk wilderness. Maybe next time.

[The Batman]

i missed out AGAIN!

[Spindoctor]

Joe, do you want to plan the route for the September meet? Otherwise it will be one of Ian's again - round and round Woburn Safari Park.
