If you're coming Euan you can take point and demonstrate that leading is the easiest way to sustain speed

Euan's right .. Douglas, we actually received PM from him about a secret meet. Start point : KB
Time : Stupid O'Clock
Got a phone call about my car: they are having difficulty sourcing front bumper currently. They are pulling some strings for me. They did mention a Nurby which is to be sent over to Hardy Inglis this weekend. Since the owner will be so pi$$hed .. he won't notice the swap
Won't be getting my car back till end of this month.
At least that will keep me out of trouble .. for a while.

Just in from my Top Gear email subscription...
What's the most satisfying car on sale today? Not just for driving entertainment, but for a combination of reliability, running costs and dealer service too?
You'll find the answer in Top Gear magazine's current issue, where the full results of the Top Gear Survey 2004 are published. The overall winner may come as a shock: it's the Honda S2000. As the magazine says, this is "an extreme sports car with a highly-stressed engine capable of revving close to 9,000rpm." Amongst the record 52,630 Top Gear readers and viewers who took part, owners of the S2000 said that no car is better to live with.
The bottom-placed car is an equal eye-opener: the Mercedes M-Class. As the magazine explains, it's "the car that most conspicuously fails to meet up to all that's expected of it."
Find full details are contained in the latest issue, on sale now, or check out the highlights at topgear.com. The latest edition of Top Gear magazine is also a Ferrari special - recognise it by the unique 3D cover, starring the Ferrari F430 and F1 car.
There's a couple of threads on the main board about this Jim.
