Eh oop everyone! Long time no post .. been a tad busy with work! A window of opportunity has afforded itself to me and I finally might be able to attend Sebring for my virgin experience  Anyone fancy a 'tag along'? Willing to share driving/costs etc. (Now awaiting Big H comments regarding a 'tag along'!!!) |

Rick me old sausage! Long time no see etc...
You need to speak to Mr S Brown, went with him last year and I'm sure he'd be delighted to share travelling, food, accomm, etc with you. You'll have a great time and I guarantee you meet people you know. And just in case you'd forgoten, you could even call by Kevin Jeanette to get that ride in a 917 you were promised!

Steve, Doris and myself are travelling out together on Wed 15th to Orlando. Meeting Canada Phil & gab (+ mate) out there. Chris24 & Martini from CA will be there too, and maybe more that I've forgotten. Obviously will also be hooking up with the Turn 10 guys who we now have as regulars here on the forum. Pidge is (as usual) hosting us at the track. Plans are well advanced (car, hotels & post-race holiday accommodation all booked). Drop me a note with your plans/requirements and we'll see how we can fit you in!  (However am leaving shortly for Aberdeen so can't get email until tomorrow night) |

Rick,
As Smokie has said, what are your travel plans. I am flying into Orlando Tuesdayafternoon (14th) and collecting the rental car at about 4pm and meeting up with Martini at the airport. We have seperate cars though as Martin is flying home on the Sunday.
I am then travelling to Tampa Sunday morning for a few days, to attend an ice hockey game and go to Busch Gardens before travelling back to Orlando on Tuesday afternoon (21st) for a 18.30 flight home.
If any of these plans fit in with your requirements, then please get in touch as I could certainly do with someone to share rental costs with etc.
Regards
Chris

Rick, me old cock sparra.
If you get your finger out you've got a choice of either bumming a lift to Sebring with Chris / Martini via the Tuesday 14th Virgin flight to Orlando or with Smokes / Doris / myself on the Wednesday 15th same flight.
Flights with Virgin from Gatwick direct to Orlando 'were' about £300 (just checked - still are - bargain!)
PM / email if you want further info.

Hi Rick,
Good news. Sounds as though you have lots of options for a ride from the Orlando airport. Camping details easy to work out.

Hi again Chaps! Firstly, thanks for all the kind messages. Was expecting a torrent of abuse/chastisement due to absence to be honest!  Sebring is still a "might" at the moment so will keep you posted. I have recently separated from Mrs. Rick and currently shacked up with a mate with no internet access while I sort out the new bloke palace. The move is likely to be early March so hence the "might"ness! And as for the day job .. been here a year next Tuesday .. still can't quite get my head round the fact that I have to work!!! Got the tickets confirmed for June (on MB of course!) though and intend to do tests and Classic this year again too :O) |

Chris,
Best I can offer would be a tent in the garden...
But I do have cold beer and a working kitchen.

Matt, to be honest, I am probably still bouncing around the balance from one credit card to another from my Petit trip back in 2003, let alone Petit 2005. LOL |

That's fair enough Chris - but free-vending off of guys who treat us with so much generosity and friendship is not right in my view. The "I'll stay at your house as long as it's free" bit is waaaaaaay off-side. Don't show-up at turn 10 empty handed and make your fellow Brits look like free-loaders - that's all I'm saying on the matter.
