Yep. Septembers girl.... Miss offroad

I'm doing great efforts on this topic. But wait for it... someone will come to twist my words an feel massively offended. Happens every time.

Has anyone got that picture of the BMW with chains... but just on the front wheels

But im super nice... and my weird accent is believed to be one of the most sexy ones in the world...

Another stunning day, but freezing wind...

that happens to native speakers too!

Oh yes. Loads of excuses available indeed... I bought the book "sprint driver excuses handbook" Sprint driver excuse number 1... Marto's car is lighter. Sprint driver excuse number 2... Marto is smaller, so he is also lighter Sprint driver excuse number 3... This tyres are too sticky. I can't go sideways. Sprint driver excuse number 4.... Marto's new engine is ilegal (whatever you are fitting, it will have loads of hidden cigarrettes, for sure). There is about hundred pages.

It's a splitter; well... as noted, it seems to split tarmac

From experience of using Ian’s ingenious headsets I can confirm how good they are once connected!

Collection is off until the weather improves. :-(

I did think about putting them on today, we had snow overnight. Ironically it was too cold so I couldn't be bothered. The wife tends to take my faux by four (on summers) every day anyway, because mine has heated seats...

Read somewhere that a leaf blower is the thing to dry off your car!

Last time I stripped the top end of the crossflow I got grassed up by the kids for degreasing and showering down the head in the bath. Cost me a new bathroom.

Its all right for the rest of you but I have to work with Maurici ! (on occasions) A

These are the intercoms I recommend. They worked great for our trip to Le Mans in the summer and could have been even better If I'd taken the tiny charging lead with us! One set out of the 3 went flat after a few days but with reduced air time we still managed to keep the other 2 sets working until returning home. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-1200M-BT-Interphone-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Bluetooth-Helmet-Intercom-FM-Headset-/192301586955?hash=item2cc6115a0b @Tom (T3OMF) - Cotswolds AO I'll gladly share build details etc. Though you may have to 'squeak' about this weeks Omex tweaks?

Tom, talk to @IanK (Bagpuss). he has an excellent set. I went for a Dales blast with Ian earlier in the year and his pair were fabulous. they ranged easily 100m and we didn't loose contact blatting around some nice scenery. I think i'm correct in saying Ian bought the components and cobbled the system together making it extremely affordable...!

Dave Eastwood to the boardroom pls

Your Spanish - English sense of humour night classes are paying off now

No excuses next year then my little Spanish amigo !

Excellent to see me, Ian and Dave on March, v pleased.

Yep. Im going to use supercheating zzr

But... you live with women? or with serial killers trained by some sort of special operation squad?

Many thanks to Julie Hall, I’ve made February cheers Andy

The quote of certain spanish driver... isnt "flat out from the start line to the finish"... I think @John would agree that is fxxxxxxck it.

Haha- The Irwell at It's finest

It must be strong, considering the damage its done to the Tarmac!

Great for cleaning your golf balls

cost 20 quid to keep her quiet

Had a night last night I’d rather not ever repeat. I underwent surgery last Friday to repair an umbilical hernia that was getting close to needing emergency surgery, so caught it just in time - although I could have done without having the anaesthetic through my spine and being conscious throughout the procedure. It was successful, anyway. Part of the fun of having abdominal surgery is that your colon takes great exception to being violated, and gets its own back by shutting down. Thus since last Friday, I’ve been enduring an unwelcome visitation from the Poo Prevention Fairy. There’s very little you can do about it except ride it out, but it’s pretty uncomfortable to say the least. The medical advice is to wait a few days before trying a laxative. By the end of yesterday, three and a half days in, I was ready to try anything, so out came the Ducolax to act as an eviction order against the non-travellers in my colon. About 2:45 this morning I was awoken by a noise coming from my guts which I last heard in The Exorcist when Linda Blair was possessed, and felt a pressure near the termination of my outflow pipe that was unmistakable in intent. I hobbled to the loo as quickly as I could without releasing the toxic monster and just managed to take my place in the driver’s seat of the porcelain bus when a gust of wind emanated from my tailpipe that sounded like Satan summoning his demonic army home for a pep talk. This was followed by something I can only describe without revulsion as the worst log flume ride in the world, ever. It went on for so long I thought I’d end up on the floor and flat as a piece of paper, completely empty inside. One of the dogs came in, wrinkled its nose in disgust at the smell and left me to my fate in mid-process. This was interspersed with belches strong enough to move the curtains. All this went on 20 minutes and when it finally stopped, I managed to struggle back to bed at 315...only to repeat it all over again at 500. I only wish I’d weighed myself before the non-travellers were evicted to see how much weight I’d lost. So folks, if you think your day is a bit s**t, my literally already has been. Thought I’d share as it’s always fun to laugh at the misfortunes of others.

Maybe, maybe not, the slowing down technique is very commonly taught these days, particularly on any officially sponsored/approved courses, like Speed Awareness etc. Note we're not talking about random slowing here, or heavy braking, just lifting off and letting the speed wash off, it's taught as a response to the car behind being to close and or aggressive. So if it's happening a lot to you, I'd ask yourself whether anything about your driving style can appear as the above to the other drivers. Of course some people are just awkward about having other vehicles around them, specially if they think the other drivers are trying to pass.
