Theres a guy at work who went to Amsterdam a week after I did, this weekend he's off to Wales... I pointed this out to him and he said he's going to follow me with my women too!
I had a great time at this meet. Next year I shall cook a proper Brampton Pie for Tor as apparently pie's are an alien concept to him. Hopefully Butz can make it too, because they're big pies
I'll sort out some more Jovoporn to watch too
Breaking up over text message / facebook is never ok.
If you can't face your partner in the flesh, then you're A heartless and B a twat.

I think "old woman" is a more honest depiction.
Responded on team forum.
I might be able to come up with an RFID system, I'll get back to you.
Haha. I think I drove better in the morning when I was still a bit drunk. For sure race 2 was not my best performance *hangs head in shame*
But fair play to you.
Sorry I just felt a bit on the backfoot by reading too much into yours and cargames earlier post.
I appologise if I've cone over as abrupt.
I'm not interested in lap time, especially whilst driing a buggered kart.
Was there an issue with my driving?

I slowed up more than most under yellow. I followed drivers who stayed flat out. I didn't. I eased off, and I always past the incident slowly (and on full throttle to be fast after it).
Going by laps complete in race 1 28 seconds doesn't sound like a great lap, but then again most of race 2 I was swapping karts and constantly had cold tyres. I recall 1 yellow where Marshall 1 stopped waving the flag and ever me through, but Marshall 2 was putting his flag away as I got to him. No idea if that's the same lap - or if you timed me when I had the kart limited to half throttle.
I wasn't aware anyone had complaints over my driving or conduct under yellow. Seems there is some frustration in this threa though.
Please if there is any incident talk to me about it - preferably soon after it next time. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong or made an error.
From this weekend just gone I don't recall any such incidents.
Whilst overtaking around the outside through a gravel trap isn't a conventional method, it wasn't what I'd call aggressive. Insane maybe, but it worked.
Likewise I didn't protest being overtaken under yellow.
Incorrect. I was black flagged twice for mechanical failures in race 2.
The pace was quicker, the racing was very physical and amongst the toughest I've ever done.
Part of that is because of the nature of racing slow vehicles with wheel surrounds on a tight track. If you put an iron spike on the steering wheel you'll get a different kind of racing.
It could have been cleaner, and probably would have been if the pace wasn't so high.
I expect next year to be tougher still as more drivers will be near the limit. But I don't think standards will improve markedly without going to twin engines where the increased speed will create a different kind of racing.
That's not to condone bad driving, there are limits to what is acceptable and what isn't and that difference isn't always known to less experienced racers.
I'll always go for a gap, I'll always run you wide, I'll readily lean on you - but I'll never deliberately crash you, even in revenge.
That said this meeting is less about the karting for me than it is about seeing my boys again, and what happens on the track stays on the track and is quickly forgotten

*facepalm* You do know what country you have just visited, don't you?
Well that's because the marshalls where from "Torfaen" ;P
I think most of us who where there don't really get why people who where not present are bitching at each other in this thread .

I have had a marvellous few days, introducing Tor to the British local, "they come in pints!?" with Dan, meeting Der Butz, distracting Jasons Dad with crab fingers, making out with the pool table, descovering the long lost rally pack to name just a few of the highlights.
Jason is a true legend of the LFS community, his generousity and kindness is an inspiration to us all.
-*-
My team had a very good first race, all of us raced well and didn't make any mistakes. It was a tough race and very physical and a real challenge, i'm so delighted that my boys did good. Despite the mocking comic strip above, they all drove faultlessly.
We had some attrition issues in the second race, so we're pretending it didn't happen.
-*-
I hope to see you all again next year.
Love, Princess Bexter.

I didn't take any pics of the racing, but I have some other pics from the weekend, enjoy :O)
I weighed in at 73kg a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a small girl.
But isn't that like saying everyone to survive aviane flu is lucky?
I'd say that they where distinctly unlucky, they could have been absolutely anywhere else on the planet at that precise moment - but they just happened to be under a car falling out of the sky...
It's been 3 years since Rockclan cheated.
In that time i've forgiven ex's I hadn't even met when he cheated for far worse things.
The lifetime of a computer game is about 6 months. So he's served half a dozen life sentences already.
Move on.

Just what part of having a car falling out of the sky at you is lucky?
*sigh* A point well made. Sod the rest then.
Go do some charity work, something on the frot lines. Maybe even travel a bit once you are past your exams. See the world.
To truly appreciate life you have to loose everything You take for granted, and if you are arnt that unlucky then spend some time with those who have.
You see it's one thing to wollow around in self pitty but it is quite another to do nothing about it.
You want to make something of yourself in a world that you do not yet understand, so go explore it and understand it.
There's barely a moment that hoe by when I don't realise how lucky I am. I may not give a damn about poor people, but I do appreciate that I'm not one of them. I know that sounds harsh, but it's the truth nobody seems to have the guts to admit.
What you aren't doing is appreciating life. It's not uncommon but it is very sad to see.

After 3 hours of solid sitting around drinking coffee my kitchen is half clean. The guys had better appreciate all this lethargy I'm putting in.
I gotta make a contribution!? Damn.
I would say tits but most of you got me beat there.
