Archive for the 'Musings' Category. Laquo; Previous Entries. Wednesday, June 21st, 2006. We’re back. We arrived at about half ten, unloaded, and went our seperate ways. I’ll give the Espace this, it was a lot faster than DYK even if it was lacking in style. Amazingly they seem to have constructed a large number of ‘Private Roads’ between Kent and York that certainly weren’t there on the way down. I’m now sat in my flat having had a beer, and getting ready to put the nails in the coffin of the trip. That&...

I was trying to get a sound recording of the Audis but it would have been hard convinvcing people that there was actually a car going past, so I’ve got video to prove it.

Archive for May, 2006. Laquo; Previous Entries. Wednesday, May 31st, 2006. Thanks to Neil at Speed Chills. We have another sponsor! For those that don’t know, Speed Chills has made its name as Private Members Club. Unfortunately they’ve sold out this year so make sure you get in early next year. Whilst you are visiting them (and you will won’t you.) have a look at their other deals on the Le Mans Classic. And the Donington Le Mans series 1000km. The New Wilton News. Why all the links?

Having been effectively abandoned by the RAC (cancel your policies now everyone) we are nursing the taxi to a garage to see if anything can be done.

Archive for the 'Pimp My Ride' Category. Warning to other traffic. Tuesday, June 13th, 2006. It’s only polite really to warn others on the road about the cab, so I’ve knocked up a couple of signs, commonly seen on the back of European trucks. It should let approaching traffic know that we’re not messing about, but that 56mph really is. Posted in Pimp My Ride. Stick ‘em up. Sunday, May 21st, 2006. Well, we’re now stickered up with the branding of our current sponsors: Chilled Heat. Posted in Pimp My Ride.

Laquo; Homeward bound. We’re back. There were problems. Aside from the problem with wheels trying to fall off that you already know about, we were also short of time. We made the ferry with just minutes to spare, and anyone who asked for couscous or duck in a jar from the hypermarche is going to be sorely disappointed, because sadly, we had no time. There’s food on the go, so I’m off. Chris looked hungry, so I need to act quickly. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0. Mel , If y...
