MsW

You could have at least spelled his name right :duh:

Edited

well done

Oh yes, our MC Les........ a real pro zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Do you think these posts will be left alone?

I hope so - we're still having a laugh, and I can't see it offending anyone who reads it.

And it's all about JAPS isn't it, including our journeys to and from - all still (however tenuously) on topic

:winky:

So we can all sleep easy in our beds tonight, except for the girl in the MX 5 who is still tossing and turning about what could have been!

Sounds like your journey was far more eventful than ours

Excuse me Loz - off topic :P :P :P :P :P (raspberry)

You'll be blackballed from the club if you're not more careful :D

i fell in love with a :tsktsk:

Sammys :tsktsk: was a sight to behold i couldnt believe how nice it was

a couple of mods planned for jae some :zee: and some :winky:

Something you haven't been telling me?????

Not everyone has your (unique) appreciation of me..........

All JAPS photos uploaded now

Now for the ones from the Totota Factory tour

And, Loz, I've looked and we didn't take a photo of our guide sorry

Snap :D

Piccies start here (thanks, Fidgets)

Ok, SOME are in the Gallery now - rest to follow

Matt, could you do me a hyperlink love, ta

I'm getting there - don't be so impatient.

Men ! :P

Photographs on their way as we speak - but takes time to white out all the plates

Something I forgot to add - ignominious end to Sunday - had to be push started!!!!

SOMEONE had left the radio on............. flat Battery Red faces of embarassment hidden by sunburn

Yesterday and today was our run-through in preparation for JAE.

First item on list in BIG letters.............

SUNCREAM - large size (all welcome, Ifraz welcome to the club!! :D )

(and umbrellas - well you never know)

Whispers.... is this still on topic??

Yup, he does....

But he's just left it there

Funny, they've both moved to the left

Will watch for any advice forthcoming

Emergency Pizza delivery this time - for S***y and the H***a lot (insert "amm" and "ond") Good bonfire.

Met up with Paul (Norkep) who was the only other LOC staying over. LOTS to drink (I think)

Fell into bed very late (early????.....)

Was disgracefully awoken at 6.15 by some utter moron we'd pitched our tents next to (he had a Calibra - who brought him?) He couldn't string together a word of more than 4 letters, but insisted his f'ing opinion on f'ing this and f'ing that be heard across the f'ing field. Matt asked him politely (honest!) to refrain but no joy - so I got up.

Matt however, slept until 9.15, :outforcount: during which time I polished his car (I know, I know.....)

After packing all our belongings (veeeeerrrrryyyy slowly....) into the Tardis that is Matt's IS, I (note, I, not Matt ) drove off to our pitch, where we met up with the less hardy folk (sensible people probably) who came along for the day.

And the sun shone, and shone............ and shone some more.

We didn't bring a gazebo, so had no shade. Chris Shipley wisely stayed in his car quite a bit. Paul (Norkep) provided factor 35 for my boy, Daniel (thanks, Paul)

Loz came to visit (Can I mention him? He only brought his Charlie Romeo X-ray)

:zee: was runner up (boo, hiss, should have won ) in the "Other" category

Ifraz, Gus Woodcock with his beautiful little girl, Tash (2 years old), and a nice chap from Huddersfield made up the rest of the LOC contingent, although I'm tired, so I've probably forgotten half a dozen people who were there.... sorry

It was a super place for a big meet (my first multi marque meet)

Came away with a big smile, and a very red face - sunburned again.

Lots and lots of photographs - I'll put them on tomorrow

Wow!!!

Your garage appears to be carpeted...... what luxury.

But having seen the immaculate condition of your car inside, outside and under the bonnet I'm not surprised you cosset it at night

(apologies if it's your living room :D )

is there any pics of this blatantly splendid day

There were many cameras there - just got to have a spare couple of hours to upload the damned things.

Grrrr wish I had broadband

(poke yoke....... poke yoke....... sorry, moderator, please delete, that's an in joke........)

Sorry, Big G, but I have to disagree with you on this one.

Fairly evident.....

I don't mind - I'll talk about anything :D

Yup,

Super day, thanks to the organiser(s)

Great to see everyone, and what a lovely place we found to eat

Took us 3 hours to get back - Friday afternoon traffic, always the same.

What did we do before mobile phones..... had to get my son picked up from school and looked after for a couple of hours while we fought our way up the M1

At least we went up the A50, and not the A38, hey, Loz??

Give us a BIG clue then.....

go gold and you can get further discount on parts

and discounts on

insurance

holidays

and loose women

(lied about the last bit) :D

mmmmmm what a super car

Pity I'd had a drop too much to take up Mr L's kind offer of a drive

Next time - I'm first in line

Didn't you get some when you got your gold stuff through?

Really classy - not the usual quality left under ones wiper blades

steering one-handed round a very sharp, two lane, uphill bend on the way to Halifax.

whilst at the same time trying to open a mars bar, drink a coffee, and read a map.

You've driven past them too? :D

It seems to me that the 40% tax rate has been around for as long as I can remember at roughly the same threshold.

Not that many years ago, the top rate was 98%, don't know what the threshold was, so a lot of the top earners (it was mostly pop and rock stars) left the country - spending only so many days a year here

So in effect the taxman lost everything from them

That woudl also mean that smoking at the wheel should be banned, turning your radio on should be band........etc etc

Somewhat already, I know, but I was once stung on the thigh by a wasp whilst I was driving - now that was scary.

(The wasp needless to say died a quick, but I hope extremely painful, death :tsktsk: )
