Sometimes i wonder why i bother, lol.
BTW, thanks paul for everything. it was really amazing and you have the best x1/9 in the world! Oh, and you won't let out my little secret about the autocross? (lol)

 

[Paul from Detroit]

I'm glad you like my car, Jim. I have no idea what you are talking about regarding the Autocross.

Did you make it out of Detroit or are you still here?

 

[JimMagill]

What's the licence plate say?

 

[Paul from Detroit]

Just random letters and numbers. It was on my Alfa Romeo 75 for the 5-6 weeks that it was actually road worthy. I sold it a few years back. Over here the plates don't stay with the car so I had an extra plate with nothing to transfer it to. I thought it would make a nice souvenir for Jim.

 

[Alan.D]

As long as he doesn't try to use it

BTW nice one for looking after him Paul as he occasionally needs looking after

Are you trying to say that you've got "Jet Leg" as they say in Norn Iron?

 

[Alan.D]

Have a good sleep

 

[Stuartl]

Jim look forward to hearing all about how you got on.

 

[JimMagill]

My bodyclock is soooo messed up... Yup, I did the wrong thing and slept when I was tired rather than trying to stay awake till the proper time

Bad news, Fred got Kidnapped and is being held by the 'Rabbit' (or Mk5 Golf) owners mascot in Iowa!!!!

That arrived in the mail this morning!!!

What am I going to do????

BTW, this is Fred in happier times at the awards dinner.... Think he won 'Best Bear at Show'

But he sure got around.... (he's sitting on the steering wheel in this shot from the Flu gallery)
