She does enjoy other things but I won't get into that right now! : )
Right, well that's the ferry tickets booked also, so Andy and I (plus the LSB) will be arriving at the Berghotel by late afternoon on Thursday 13 April, ready for 3 days of solid track time, wienerschnitzels, beer, bacon soup and gay repartee from Thomas. Wooo-hoo
Andy - watch your bott, mate!

had a close call on the E40 this afternoon..
just blowing the winter cobwebs off the Honda.. joining the E40 (direction Nurburgring
) with some decent VTEC pace, noticed a BMW doing 100mph +.. was about to follow when I glanced in my mirror and noticed another car coming up very fast..
a burgandy pug 406.. slightly strange front grill with inset lights.. "click.. remember previous article I had read that Belgium cops are using un-marked pug 406's"
moved right to keep out of their way.. 406 flew past..even though I was well over the limit.... the double ariel confirmed my thoughts about the car..
so I watched the kill unfold.. I was still doing 100mph and not keeping up..
he let the BMW hang himself for a few KM's.. and then pulled him at the next junction.. that's going to be at least 1000Euro and month ban for him.

Yikes - good spot, Richard.
Andy (SBC) and I were talking last night and we are definately going to cruise across France and Belgium. Its simply not worth the money, hassle and grief getting stopped and fined, when you can make adequate progress at the speed limit.
Plus, its pretty daft getting done for speeding while on the way to the Ring where you can legitimately almost max your car out!!!!

I'm not worried about Thomas 'cause I know he has eyes only for you.

Hehehe
I did specifically tell Frank that I'd be with my girlfriend while you would be in a single room - probably one with a dodgy lock on the door, too!
Better wedge a chair under the door handle, just in case Thomas comes a knocking.
