Metvuw makes it look even more shite than "some rain possible"

Don't think we had a proper wet round last year, will be interesting.

Hope we get just enough rain to wash the track clean then it can stop for the racing. I have one or two spare spaces in a Pit Lane Garage for Saturday raceday. Anyone who is interested in taking a spot and sharing cost please PM me.

I have no desire whatsoever to test my wet weather skills ( and I use the term "skills" VERY loosely ) A bit of cloud cover is OK, less shadows and no low sun to cause sun strike. I will be able to come up with plenty of other excuses when they are required :yes:

Probably my fault Deano. I've always been a bit of a trendsetter. Nobody liked ACDC until I got into them during the 70's. Every other bugger was always taking my girlfriends too.:crybaby: I can't help but notice that the bald grumpy middle-aged guy thing is becoming more popular as well. It's a curse I tell ya.

That's exactly my point youngun. Once I stopped digging ACDC:rockon:, they weren't cool any more.
AND, while you wont be seeing me on "Sensing Murder" anytime, I can predict a bald future for you. Beat the rush youthful one and get a buzz-cut.
The yellow mule has been reconstructed tonight and will be cutting blistering lap-times in the rain.:2guns:

It was very wet and plenty of action on the track. There might be a few "oh fuck" race reports flying round in the near future.
