Club Arnage members welcome as always!

The Termites

Finally heard from the ACO this evening that the MB waiting list has coughed up so that's where we'll be.  Tent pitching (if we can manage it between the two of us given that I need both hands to walk) Tuesday.  Paul arrives via Le Shuttle Thursday.

Mondial QV and Nissan Note

Deb, I think you accidentally typed Note instead of 370Z...  ;)

Nice to see you kept some brand loyalty after the little Micra laid down it's life for you. How does the note compare?

Deb,

Happy to assist with tent building, arriving lunchtime Wednesday onto MB, if required. We'll have a few on hand to assist. One our my lot is a dab hand at tent construction ;D. PM me and can sort out the logistics etc.

Jules

@ Andy - Sadly no Z car yet (but I can dream, can't I?) as nothing will be awarded until the long-term outcome is known. Once that happens I'll trade in the Note for whatever I can afford (quite tempted by a Megane RS if I can't stretch to the Nissan).  I bought the Note with the settlement from the crash damage as I quickly needed something a bit bigger to get the chair in and the flat platform in the rear is perfect access-wise.  Given that I had to settle for the boggo deisel it's pretty good if under-gutted but it does have a really decent chassis - even the o/h likes driving it.  I can't drive it since the third op' in December and I await a medical asssessment - I had an hour with the driving school yesterday which I passed no trouble and now I await a decision as to whether I need a formal driving test or not.  All very boring.

@Jules.  How very kind of you!  Mr T is not the best tent builder on the planet but really the main problem is that I need a full-height tent now and thus the one we have is palatial and hence pretty tough to put up and Paul has to work hence won't arrive until late on Thursday. I will, indeed, pm you as it's just the same to us if we pitch Wednesday before practice starts.  As long as I have half an hour to get to the grandstand (I have to allow plenty of time to tackle the stairs!) we'll be fine.

Deb, you have PM.

Jules G

You are in trouble mate, Popemobile ?

What sort of trouble are you talking about Bobby. ???
This Popemobile is infamous, NO TROUBLE with Major Chop on duty.


So Explain yourself .............

.. and another one falls into the trap!!

sod sod sod

 :-[

that is rubbing it in big time

(just Gary and you? blimey that's a far too reduced crew... note to self  "must do better next time"... not that Gary and You wont be enough to have a bloody good time)

I knew I should have looked in here before, blame it on withdrawal symptoms

Have a good 'un everyone

b

Evening all,

Bit late in the day I know , but the Up North Crew are heading down via the late afternoon Dover / Calais next Wednesday. Should be arriving at LM anytime now.

We're on Houx as usual and its the usual crowd.

Have a good one everyone.

Jem

Rusty, I expect we'll find you in the Irish bar on Friday afternoon ?

You certainly will sir, I presume you will have mr. Andy Rob with you as usual. ETA for us will be around 1, we'll be meeting Gary, Clive, Nick and John from the train too.
Sweet

Mr Andy Rob will indeed be gracing us with his presence, well at least his body will be there. Where his head will be has yet to be fathomed !!

Jem.

yes

Andy, So Explain yourself .............
See Rusty's reply, no explaining required. The Pope Mobile was then the refurbished one is now, what ever they wish to call it. ;)
