Lovely day up here yesterday. :D
Overcast today but the rest of this week is looking very nice. Fingers crossed for the EuroNats at the weekend.

I hope the weather is OK over in Ireland for Drew and Lisa. It is well known for catching the rain coming off the Atlantic.

thanks mate, i did miss having round 2 with dave r if i,m honest, but as you know finally beating our mate with the white 6 pack chally was a first, strange how he went 12.30@113mph when i raced him and he had gone 11.96@114mph friday night :shock: it was a lot cooler so maybe that helped

sadly that wont happen mate, most folk in muscle car scene prefer 60,s-70,s rock music ? putting a 50,s style rockabilly band on wouldnt quite hit the spot but then its hard to account for eveyones taste :?

Id say a lot of folk would like it if one of our own was to bang out a rip roaring set. would you take offence if I put it to them to consider it. Id love to see you guys live...and at the nats,,,that would rock mate....
