Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Glorious day.
Going to Bedford Autodrome today, to spend tomorrow driving some ludicrously fast cars!!!
Day includes Nissan 350Z, Caterham superlight, Jaguar JP1 Le Mans car and some kind of F1 motor. This is going to be one of the best days out I ever had.
If I survive, I will no doubt enthuse about it all when i get back on Wednesday. Just not looking forward to setting off all that way at lunchtime today.
Have fun with the stockpicking and this threads enigmatic and cryptic messages.

You got it mate. it is the Jonathan Palmer day.
I've only heard good reports and that unlike many of these type of days, there really is no limit. You are positively encouraged to go as fast as you dare, cos the tracks are totally safe, no matter how far you spin off.
The JP1 is the bit i am really looking forward to as well. Jeremy Clarkson reckons it is completely peerless and has never been bettered by any other race car.
Wow.

Al JP was a doctor before he drove F1 ,(in Brighton) ,my sister worked for him ..
The bit about the track being totally safe how ever fast you spin off i'm not so sure about ,i'm just going out to get a get well soon card ,,now whats the address for Bedford General ,A and E unit i think.

LoL.
The Mrs is coming along and we are having bets about her hanging her handbag on the gear lever, and looking for the indicators.
on the sweep we are running for her top speed I've drawn 45mph. I fancy my chances actually.

WOW.
And I really do mean WOW.
I am still high on adrenalin, and my arse has spent the day twitching like a rabbits nose, but WOW.
Jimmy, save, borrow, steal, do whatever, but do it.
About 650 per person but WOW.
The instructors really do push you WAY beyond what you would do on your own.
I saw more spin offs today than a Sky TV executive.
I've even had piccies e-mailed to me already and I would put 'em on here, but I don't know how!!
In summary. WOW.

A great day out. It should be on everybodies Must do list!!
Great Fun
