BIG THANKS to all

Well Hi Guys,

Many thanks for your best wishes.
I shall not be attending this year, I fear my injuries are too great and I will be too weak.

However. I wish all who are attending a`fine week preceding and an even better weekend. I will be watching from afar and my thoughts will be with you.

I am at home now, got home on Monday 11th at about 20.00hrs. What a great sight after nearly 3 weeks away.
Marsty is`well pleased, she is such a good person.
I am completely buggared for another 4 weeks till the 6 week no load bearing period runs out for both shoulder and leg, all damage done to the left hand side.
Wheel chair and bed bound.
Not nice.

So anyway, things could have been worse.

Regards and thanks to all.

I will keep you all posted on progress.

Mark.

Trailer Update

Here we are then,just a note to show everyone how things are progressing.She had her first coat of paint today,( & the only way i can describe that !) is it was like painting it with treacle.Cant wait to put the next two coats on.
News Flash! I believe that the Silver Dream Machine is not far of running and moving under the power of her new engine,I'm sure lofty will keep us updated on that,as it happens.

A very big get well wish !

I had a phone call to day from Mrs Race Director (Marsey)
She has informed me that Mark (Race director) has been involved in a motorcycle accident!
And from what i gather not in a good way,with leg and shoulder injury's.And instead of getting ready for June,he ll be seeing rather a lot of hospital walls and crutches for a while.
Hope you are on the mend soon mate....It wont be the same across the channel without you.
(we will have to send Jason on a camera course)
