If anyone's got King Troutman's number, could you get him to call me? Bou's down his way tomorrow morning but she's forgotten his mobile number.
Even I'm not stupid enough to leave my phone number on a message board, but I can be emailed through the site, or Art and Wils have my mobile number.
ta,
Pete
never mind chappies, I'm back anyway.
I was Rallying & had mucho adventures, an 'eventful' day.
first One disintergrated wheel,
then the tripometer died (crutial to navigate)
one crash sideyways (ouch me neck)
then bonnet flew up
then wheel nuts broke off leaving us 3 wheeled on hairpin.
then we crashed & rolled on roof....but continued after pushing car back on wheels (3 of us only)...no windscreen & nice glass splinters all around.
then another puncture
then ...after nearly 200miles of this,
2.34 miles from the final finish... the gear box completely seized & there was nothing we could do. ARghhh.
mind you out of the 120 cars that started only 67 made it so to the end at least it wasna just us.
*sneer*
She hid from me, out of indescribable terror.

pah!!!! i'll get you yet you you fish thing you,
just once me whip lash is better.....
ouch.
Bou, And this you do for fun? adrenalin junkie or what? mind you, it must push the mundane day-to-day stuff out of mind for a bit...
Huffy B-)
bizarre irony is i do it to relax from weekly stress, which this week gone mostly involved major fall outs with learner driver son & me refusing to get in his car again cos he 'drives too fast & dangerous'....
no son, its not big & its not clever. ahem. however there is a difference. so did i tell him how we got on what fun crashing & dangling upsides down is... NO. "mumble mumble didnt finish from gear box".
the difference is a flame proof suit, helmet & rollcage.

In a similar vein, my wife's just come back to driving after ten years in the passenger seat.
On Saturday night, while were heading home through darkest Perthshire, we almost killed Bambi.
I'm amazingly proud of Mrs Evil Fish King's fast reactions, given her inexperience and the fact she'd never driven at night before. Happily, Bambi survived.
I thought it was hilarious, but then I was extremely pished at the time. I'm grabbing back eight years of being the designated driver, and making up for it pretty damn well! :-)
