Funny how ugly cars just won't die.

I had a slightly longer trip home, not helped by them reducing the lanes on the M20 from 3 to 1 around junction 4

Thanks for the link, but no I can't, I've tried!

My pc hasn't had sound for months now, I think it might be the monitor..?

I went back on the A20, it's a very frustrating road, it's very fast in places but I ALWAYS get stuck behind someone going slow, and there are very few places to legally overtake!

I remember 2007 sitting on a plastic chair with an ice cold beer overlooking the Dunlop bridge at 2am

Just a shame it was so wet. Cold I can handle, just chuck on another jumper, wet is just crap.

I think wellies are a good look for you

Post Sun Jun 14, 2009 4:03 am

Once again -

I agree, cold not a problem, wet - miserable!

It was a shame about the weather but we did get some hot sun on the friday, mixed with massive torential showers!

But I'm soooo glad I went (it was my first time) and I hope it make it there again as soon as possible, I doubt next year though because I'll probably still be poor!

Bit like the 251 going either way into or out of ashford. Ended upo for the last 5 miles before getting on the the m2 doing 20 mile an hour. God I was bored.

Martin, I wanna have a ride in your motor to. You should start charging for rides. But only after you taken me for one

oh and i'm still full now

Lee, Steve was heard to comment he didn't beleive you were ever full.

Post Mon Jun 15, 2009 2:05 am

No probs mate, hopefully I'll make it to the next one and we'll sort that out!

Good, while he is out in your car, he is not eyeing up my wheels

To the guy with the E30 to the right, sorry im crap with names. Don't forget the tip about swapping the drivers seat with the passenger seat.

You just need to swap the seatbelt mounts over. OK the tilt arm will be on the wrong side but you get a better seat for the driver.

It's George, and I'm just as crap with names too!

I'll remember next time!
