That is one sad van !

Have we been hacked.????

Jules and Andy,
I got an email from Dengie, this site the other day.
It was an lot of text in a poem sort of prose.
I assume we have been hacked?
Did any one else get one?

Mark.

Dear Honourable members,

Marst and I hope you had a really good Christmas.
And we wish you a Happy New Year.

Sadly we will not be attending this years 'main' event in June.
We will however, be planning to attend the 'Classic; which if I am not mistaken is roughly 4 weeks after the big one.
Thanks to Jason for thinking of us.
Andy, can you speak to 1st tickets and let them know I am on the list of interested parties please?
Are we on those terms with them?

Take care all, wishing you all a brill 2012.
Hopefully we will see each other this year.

Being saying it for years, we want to come down for the Steam Fair.
Maybe an option for Team Spanner.
Purely social, no racing.

Anyway peeps.

Speak soon.

Love y'all.

Mark and Marst

Autosport 6 hours of Silverstone

Hello Race Fans

Going to head up north for the Autosport 6 hours of Silverstone (http://www.lemans-series.com/en/s52_circuits/s52p01_presentation.php?circuit=6) in September. Planning to leave sunny Weymouth at lunchtime on Friday 9th, travelling at a sedate pace and camping at Whittlebury Park (http://www.whittlebury.com/index.php?pag=cms&id=240&p=camping.html )on the Farm site which isn’t too far from the entrance near the old pits.

There are a few support races, CERS is usually good, with the main event on Sunday after which we’ll be heading south.

Anyone else fancy it?

24hrs of Spa

Well after missing L/M I've booked the ferry to go to Spa for the 24hrs on the w/e of the 30th/ 31st for my birthday treat and was wondering if any other Spannerites are making the trip? I've never been before so dont know where I will end up just hope the rain keeps off.

Something we could do as a Team Next Year...

A friend of mine showed me this - looks quite good fun and maybe Team Spanner could have a new road trip for next year!!

Thoughts on a postcard.
