Big 'D' Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks mate, I did not want to drive it too hard as it was still cold Cheers Iain

Big 'D' Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Good meet and good to see everyone again!Hope you get those mid 12's you want Big D ! Would be nice, it feels like it could easy get a 12.5 (compared to my last runs) but we will have to wait and see, I know how hard it is to shave the time away at the Pod Cheers Iain
compo71 Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Sorry i could not stay and chat but the little man needed some shut eye..........
scooby_ger Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks mate, I did not want to drive it too hard as it was still cold Cheers Iain You just yielded to the power of the UK Classic De-cat Green Machine!!! He he he!!!
scooby_ger Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 On a more serious note. On my way home tonight along Thamesmead Drive I saw flashing blue lights in the distance. I thought it was a Police checkpoint so I slowed down. I was heading towards Taw Hill from the Big Asda. As I approached the flashing lights I saw 2 motorbikes smashed to pieces in the middle of the road. A bit further on I saw a sight that turned my stomach. A dead body covered with a blanket. Dont know if the other rider was on his/her way to Hospital or were in fact dead but out of sight. My sympathies go out to the families involved. Makes you realise how precious life really is. RIP
twofourdonkey Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I would have loved to have made it. The Taliban meets are no where near as good.

Big 'D' Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Nice one Iain glad you did it!... Got your 110mph to aim for now ! To be honest if I had thought to remove the bonnet scoop, the spoiler and a few bits from inside the 110mph mark would have been smashed too Cheers Iain
