Is that Mr Muscle Kitchen Cleaner you're using to remove the flies?

Just like to add our thanks to everyone for another great weekend, will get our pictures sorted out and a link posted up soon.

Had a bit of a "brown trouser" moment on the way back, as we were driving along in the outside lane some numpty drifted across the middle and outside lane in front of us, bounced off the central reservation for a few yards and then shot back across in front of us again on his way back to the inside lane, then he just carried on as if nothing had happened, can only assume he nodded off for a few seconds, but it certainly gave the Brembos a good workout...

just had to add this, one of the prizes was an LPG conversion and it was won by none other than The Laird himself, however he asked his two trusted lackies to install it for him and TBH neither of us are particularly gifted in the spannering department, but after a few beers we managed, and I do think its one of the best LPG installs I have seen for a while

No doubt The Laird won it fair and square and no cheating involved.

It may not be tidy and the top speed suffers but the range on LPG is fantastic.
