    I hope you're joking

    Golfman - VWCV doesn't have a motorsport rep anymore it used to be john edsel but he's had enough (done it for a while and its alot of work too), but there waiting for someone to put there hand up, used to be good with the motorkhanas and khanacross's.

    Come on you lot, lighten up. I only have one motorsport outing and it was just a no speed limit day at Wakefield (hardly motorsport) but everyones done that or something similar so who wants to hear about that eh? I'd rather rabbit (no pun intended) on about some guff that sounds plauseable and.....well not really. I just thought it sounded funny. Hah! More fool me eh.

    Anyone got a Quaif they want to offload?

    Thats cool Gotrice mate. Sounded like you meant it. Needed more laughing faces or something! Had that sort of thing happen to me in Brissie consantly years ago. Not a good way to start a monday morning!
    Cheers and try having a go at some low level motorsport, it can be as cheap as you want to make it and fun.
    Had a P plater doing donuts on his own last sunday morning at 11 am 2 houses down from home. Raced out to watch lose control, up on the footpath and take out a neighbours letterbox. At least to his credit he got out and stood the thing back up. I abused him and when he sheepishly went up the road the rhf wheel was running about 5degrees of positive camber! Only an XF falcon so who cares! Thats not cheap motorsport!!! Cheers, Andrew

    I used to work with kids from Family Services and the courts and a few of them would do similar things but they always did it in a stolen car. It was real sad stuff and the courts were very very lean on them too. Mad me very...disgruntled .
