The joys of living in your own place, heh... As long as I pitch up at some point on sunday, I'll not get crucified...
Plus I can use the jetwash to get the worst of the crud off the car too - The downside of living on the 4th floor is that washing your car is one heck of a chore...

Could be a problem!!!

*sigh*

Some twit at work has decided to add a shift for me on the Sunday.
I've spoken with my supervisor who has emailed them and tried to get it changed, though nothing has been done!!!

I will again try to get this fixed on Monday because it's not fair with my work screwing up everything in my social life.
Will keep you all posted.

Si

PS: by the way, don't panic... I've already told my supervisor that I will NOT be working that day (which he didn't have a problem with), it's just a matter of getting it sorted on the duties roster so that the person who went and made that decision gets a good arse chewing etc!
I am still planning on the entire thing going ahead, but I will know for sure what happens after the weekend.

Blimey.

Stick to your guns mate. I had a job where they kept doing that to me. It ended up with me having a standup row with my line manager in front of a store full of people. hehehehe soon sorted it by going over his head and sorting it out with the proper store manager.

There is always someone that wants to p*** on your bonfire.

It was a challenge layed down by Rangakoo to MuddyCarl and myself. Its a very technical looking lane with difficult angles.

Hoppie has been down it, there are pics on the forum somewhere :wink:

I have been up and down it albut in a very well speced 90 (mine at the time) But we did have a fronty in the group and it coped fine. It has some very interesting angles that can only have been increased by recent weather but as its a gully there is no way to tip a car. It can be a little scratchy so if there are several groups this one could be avoided.
It is an experience though so may be worth it just for that. Scratches T-cut out, memories dont 8) 8) 8) 8)
