I know!!  I thought Neil had arranged better weather than last Sandown outing.....Oh well I guess he has been busy with the 6Hour organising ;D

I hope for the sake of those with open tops (Bruno) and those that will run sliks (Robin) we will at least get a couple of dry runs

Yep...

You know it's a great day when you're the slowest on the track (OK, I was faster than a Fiat 127 but that doesn't count) and you still leave with a great, big smile on your face.  :P

Hi All,

Nice to meet some of you today and chat 'Suds/Alfas for a bit. Hope to see you again at upcoming events.

Feigh,

I would say that times are irrelevant......but......you posted a faster time than Evan, a very important factor.

Now i know that Evan will try to tell us all that you swapped run groups or something similar, but the results are there for all to see!!!!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't stop now Scott.
You should use the collective noun for a lot of Suds.

"Froth" or "Foam" or even better "Bubbles".

Well what can I say!  Stephen's timing service never lies huh?

If you look hard at the photos of car number 49 I think you'll find Feigh has put on about 50kilos...  ;)  You can't see her new beard inside the helmet either.

After an hour of trying to work out what was wrong with my car, I decided to check to see if it had any fuel in the tank. It didn't have!  And no, I didn't get any of you passing me, but I did see a lot of excited waving as people passed my poor out of fuel machine.

Did you get the same guy to do your fuel sums as Alfa did at Monarco back in the 80's?

Jim, doesn,t your all singing all dancing telemetry tell you when the fuel is low? Maybe a high-tech bit of wood as a dipstick would work better, but then something has to tell the dipstick to check the dipstick....

I do use the "stick" method of fuel checking, but I don't like to carry excess fuel, next time I may put in a little more however!

What is the plural or collective for more than one Sud?
