Out
of milk - 2.3MByte
Sunday 2nd March 2003 - early afternoon and it's time for a nice brew
up - but wait - there's no milk! Luckily there's a shop open and it's
only 20 miles away... and the tea's getting cold, so had to 'press on'
a bit.

Saturday 15th March 2003 - After a good wash, a polish, and with new seats
fitted, it was time to check that the 500 was quicker than before. It
was such a gorgeous afternoon that I didn't need to push... but what's
that dance... the one that goes 'slow, slow, quick , quick, slow'

March 2004 - A great automotive turnout on what started as a cold, wet,
windy day. After lunch the sun shone & the surface dried..then these
cars really showed what they where made of... Daz as ever pushing 190mph
in his 996, the red Ruf likewise, the Nobles sticking to the tarmac like
glue, and the 1st time I've heard a 360CS revved hard.. thanks Kevin

giving it a bit too much in the Jag!
