I remembered for once that it's grass autotesting tonight.
We'll probably take the sillycar... i heard a rumour that mosguido might be coming along. Anyone else?

starts approx 7pm ish (i think)

Cost is approx £20 for a non club member - the more the merrier!

The 2007 autotest season will resume on again on 13th June (weather permitting) with a new venue. Buckwell Lodge Farm Walcote Leics. (LINK TO VENUE ON SITE). A bigger smoother field. Hopefully we will be running 6 tests in parallel. Start time is 7pm.
Subsequent events: 27 June, 11 July, 25 July and 8 August.

Probably see you there then. Will check things out before committing Betty to some grass abuse

Betty was born to be a lawnmower

woo-hoo

grass auto testing rocks

betty took some abuse having 2 drivers, but held together well. (no new rattles)
I was a bit worried by some of the ruts and uneven ground (esp when my bum left the seat with the bumps) but the suspenders survived
we left all the cones untouched, but lawn mowed nicely

I have never laughed so much in ages

I can definately reccomend this to anyone for some fun

The best bit for me?

You buggers! I would have loved to have a go at that but you didn't tell me about it!

Anyways looks like you had top fun, please let me know when the next one is

Oh and well done Anna for getting top lady driver!

[mr2mk1chick]

sorry Tom - we just saw the post here last minute and decided to go

[Icsunonove]

No worries Jo.

To be honest it would have been folly trying to limp my poorly car all the way to Rugby (the engine sounds like a chainsaw at the moment ). It's either alternator, idler, water pump , or Supercharger that needs replacing

Spare Supercharger is ready, I've got a spare water pump (stolen from Tim), spare timing belt idler (stolen from Tim), secondhand idler (stolen from someone)

I've now borrowed the Rent-a-nator from Mark, (you know - the one you borrowed and cleaned in the dishwasher ) so if would stop effing raining I could get it fixed!

Sorry, was the last one, so easiest to split out. Will do some more at lunch. Flash player on luckymonkey is pretty good

Yeah... Tell me about it...

The only person slower than me was a 15 year old in a Rover 75

TBH, I don't care, I went to have fun and fun I had

[Speedy]

Well, you don't know that for sure. Mosguido was pretty canny not handing his slip in, now only he knows how quick he was
