Society's weird fascination with the best-selling fictional novel of all time brought me quiet roads. The wake of storm Barbara brought me warm weather and wet roads. I bought myself a tank of Shell's finest. Best Westy presents you can get

Don't be daft. It's a Caterham- I paid a garage to do it.

I'll log onto work early and IF nothing pressing and weather good I'll take off towards you......

Hi Robin. I will be there. i will need to fill up with petrol at that garage on the a64 again.

Well, quite a few hours later, we have level 1 & 2 done! I say we as our little lad of 8 years just couldn't leave it alone! Brilliant kit though... just need a few Westfield badges and stickers!

Background: Sep 2017 is a point at which I may take early retirement (age 54), circumstances mean that taking my reduced pension then will give me the same pension income as if i retire in 2020 (I'ts complicated), and I'm pretty fed up with working in the MOD so leaving asap is actually something to look forward to. Now I'm not ready for the knackers yard, I have plenty of things to keep me occupied but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a part time job. I'm not sure my skills gained in many posts within the MOD are readily transferable, boiling them down to Nuclear Safety Assurance, Risk Auditing, Project Management, Programme Management and Project Management Office, my qualifications are in Mechanical Engineering, Auditing and Project Management, so a bit of muddle really. The future: If i were to try and dabble in consultancy work, how do I set up a consultancy business, and actually getting some work? Or, would I be better touting myself around the big consultancy companies and in effect work for them? Or, if some of you have been in a similar position what have you done? Cheers Ian

I'm going to Bridlington on Wednesday 28th December for some Fish and Chips, So anyone who's not working, hungover or on holiday and wants to join me we'll meet at the Fox and Grapes, A64, York Road at 10:30. Lets hope the weather will be kind, it will be just the thing to blow the cobwebs off.

Merry Christmas everyone. Just had a lovely drive out for a couple of hours. The roads where clear and the weather its lovely for a winters day. Poor Buttercup had forgotten what it is like to be out and about. Hope you all have a great day.

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very merry Christmas! I hope Santa has brought you many nice things as I'm sure you've all been good boys and girls (or as good as you're capable of being!). Just getting ready for the onslaught of guests we have coming to fill the house, and to give our tummies and livers a workout! Whatever you do today and however you do it, enjoy the day and thanks for being a part of our huge extended dysfunctional family!

Good to see you back..... Happy Christmas. Michael

Beauty eh!

Numbers are climbing which is great

i'm booked with garage

Absolutely Dave, you've done really well with a realtively standard car, more improtantly you have had brilliant fun. The more people competing in cars like yours the better. So the more out there the better. Oh and Rich has done a cracking job so far on Facebook. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the support Rich in offering to admin the page. Just what the Speed Series needs to raise the profile and get more folk spectating and competing

OK who knew I'd finally got my A** on Facebook!

That's a long time to wait - the doctor can give you some pills to help
