Hi Everyone
I have just been on the website and so just thought I would update you.
Jamie has flown to Iraq this morning in the early hours.He will be over there for the next two weeks and then comes home for two weeks and then must go back for six weeks.
Still trying to not think about it really.
As and when I hear anything from him I will email to let you know.
We had a lovely time in Newquay for my birthday.Tried surfing and of course we were naturals,especially after sambuca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I could have been tall enough to hold the surfboard it would have helped!
Anyway Dave we hope you enjoyed your bday too and had a few drinks!
Hope to speak with you all soon.
Thanks Dave,Mark,Clare and Jase for the birthday greetings.I have been looking at all the photos tonight.
Lots of love Lisa xxxxxxxxx

Silverstone Reunion

Hi Y'all,

Just a swift note to say how much Marsty and I enjoyed the weekend despite me bolloxing up yet another video camera! Yes, moisture again came into play!!!!!!

Its now gotta be sent away to Canon for a quote on how much it will cost. The insurance has asked for it to be checked and not just replace it (like last time).

I can't blame em, I would think it fishy too.

I have plonked a couple of piccies on this Blog, most of the folks who attended should have received an email from Marsty inviting them to Photo Box to view/download/print her photos.

If you haven't received an email please send an email to me and I will get her to send the invite to you from PhotoBox. All photos in there are full size, so printing or using as a desktop will be OK with no pixellation.

Thanks to all who made the weekend great. Special thanks to Milsy and Mrs Milsy, (Nice to see you again, and we don't see Rachel enough), Mr Rees, good to see you too mate, hope you will be on the register for Le Mans 2008?

I didn't see Jeff, I got a call with loads of noise, I assume he made it to Microsft hostility and stayed there. Good man.

And Nigel made it, even though for months he was telling me he couldn't go. I wont believe a word from him in future.

Thats it, nothing else to say.

Glad everyone got home safe and sound.

Take care all.

Mark.

Hi Ya All..Quick update on the Jamie n Lisa thing. I managed to get hold of Jamie last night and unfortunately he will not be able to make it this weekend. Seems he is holed up in some camp, training and on 12 hour standby for shipping out to Bloody Iraq!! He sends his best wishes to all of the team and says to be sure to have a good time!!! Like all good parents I told him to keep his head down and come home safe, then got Lisa's address LOL, just incase she gets stuck with anything between here n Christmas!
Anywayyyy ...Looks like the weather is set fair..Would be nice to see a car without a rooster tail this year! I will be arriving with Nick and Chips about 5'ish on Friday. Spoke to Skip and it seems tour shirts are for the race on Sunday and those that have 2006 shirts for the qually on Saturday. reason there is as you know I do find it difficult to stay clean!!! We will be booking a minibus from the hotel for the saturday track day from the hotel on Friday night. Anyone who wants to be on that please let us know soonest. Sooooooooo see ya there!!!! Apppeeeee Daze

SILVERSTONE LMS 15-16 September

Hi Guys and Gals,

Our tickets came, so its a goer.
Hotel booked.

Most Team Members have replied to say if they are or are not coming (See original Blog entry and comments).

Andy you never replied as to if there are plans to eat out on Saturday night as a team and when Team shirts are to be worn, Sat, Sun or just Sat night?

Has everyone who is going got phone numbers so the Team can be contacted when others arrive so we can meet?

Dunno if its a good idea to publish phone numbers on this Blog as any bugga can see em.
Make sure if you are arriving later on Saturday or Sunday only that you have a phone number to call so you know where the Team is.

Wishing all a good weekend.

Mark.

Silverstone

Mark

The only way for everyone to say if they are going would be to add a comment to a post

Some of the team are still not signed up as members, so when they post, the comments need to be moderated and published

If anyone out there hasn't signed in, drop me an email and I will send you another invite and the inital invites have now expired!!

Sadly I will be away in Cairo on business that weekend - have tried to change it but I have a deadline to meet
Cheers

Julian

More info on Silverstone

Hi Guys,

Was about to book my tickets for Silverstone and thought 'What about a g'stand'?
No mention on the website, just a straight 20 squid entrance fee.
So I called em, what a pain in the arse trying to get through, finally did though and the dea is that some G'Stands will be open all depends on how many folk attend as spectaters.
But those that are open are free!!!!!!
So for all bargain hunters, 'Game On'!

Is anyone making a book so we know who is attending and what the agenda is in terms of uniforms, etc on what day/night?

I dont mind doing it, but is there a way the BLOG could be used so all people do is press a button and the BLOG counts for us?
Jules is that possible given the BLOG features?

For those attending I am seriously looking forward to a great Sat day/ night and Sunday race day.

Regards and felicitations to all.


Mark.

This is supported with three other races afterwards, fininishing around 17.30 (Thats half past five at night or Tea Time Jase!)

Sunday there are two races in the morning, starting at 09.15 (Reckon I'll miss that one!!) Then there is a drivers autograph session at 10.30 at the ACO truck (Guess I'll need to be there to sign programmes, T-shirts etc!)
