Guy's,

It seems i can post new threads, but i am unable to add a witty, dry or sarcastic remark to any of your feeble offerings!!
Any body got any ideas? Admin?? Watt?? Matron??

Tally Ho!

Dear Hamstrung at Tunbridge Wells,

Try using the reply button? I dimly remember this problem, but not the solution [typical]. Also try PM.g Duane Shank or Darren, the Admin Crew.

 

Witty, dry remarks Steve?

That will be a first...

Hear that Bedford was enjoyable yeasterday, how did Steve R get on with his new set up?

P

 

Steve,
i've emailed Darren asking his help for your reply issue.

P . at these track days you guys do in Merry Olde, Rainy Englande, is the mighty Journoman [wotaguy] light years faster than the common man?

 

Hey P,

Sadly i couldn't make Bedford as those that must be obeyed have me toiling away here in paris still. next trip will be Goodwood. See you there?
Watt, without wanting to blow sugar up Journomans exhaust pipe, he is a bit handy behind the wheel. I believe he used to race, and properly, not at a club level in a formula or some sort. Not sure which. I like to refer to his RS as the squeal mobile, as passengering with him is a bit of a laugh. No hostilities need to start after what I'm about to say, but he harried a GT2 into submission last time out at Bedford. FYI, Bedford is a 4 mile circuit, and very technical at that. But on the downside, he did manage to destroy a brand new set of Michelin cup tyres in ONE day!! OH, and i timed him on a series of laps that would put him in the top 10 at Bedford, and that includes Radicals ect. But it is his literary skills for which we hold him in such esteem and i sincerely hope that all here will come to know the wisdom of his words.
Remember, there is only one Journoman (wot a guy)
We are in the process of having him listed as a national treasure, much like the Royal Family and Marmite. We hope he will be offering a weekly surgery for your driving ills,and help shed light on those irksome issues plaguing your automotive abilities but please show the proper respect due and address him with his full title. Journoman (wot a guy)
Stay tuned!!

Best Regards,

Steve B

 

Steve, talking of speedy folks, who was The Stig when out of his helmet? I have been sent a few NTSC copies of Top Gear, and wondered if this mystery man had a face and name, or is mystery his way?

 

Hi Mac,

the Stig eh?? You know his identity is a closely guarded secret, and if i were to tell you, i would immediately have to kill you!
Actually, thereare a few Stigs, but the main man is a certain Perry McCarthey. I'm not sure who the others are, but they tend to step in if perry is otherwise engaged. Popular rumour has it he was the most promising understudy of the master hmself, Journoman (wot a guy)
So know you know, expect a hit team any day now.

Best regards,

Steve B

 

The Hit Team, so I'm waiting for Tony Blackburn, Jimmy Saville and Chris Evans right?

I'll keep light on my feet when I hear Abba drifting down the driveway!

 

Steve,
so glad to hear Journoman [wotaguy] is the MAN. i invited him to make a guest appearance here and he says he will... but maybe he needs a nudge from an MBE.

 

Steve,

looking forward to Goodwood, hopefully will have my Journoman (wot a guy) badge of alligence attached to my rump.

Somewhat surprised to see that the write up of your chariot was not penned by the afore mentioned Journoman in GT Purely Porsche, was he busy or have you had a tiff?

P.

 

Hi P,

I think journoman (wot a guy) was too embroiled in the upcoming suspension mods to the vaunted RS to bother with an old has been like the MK1
In truth, i don't think the car would have done justice to his literary prowess, so he drafted in that upstart, Dom Holtham.
Bruntingthorpe was a giggle though. What they forgot to mention was that i had never driven it hard with the new suspension, so with no delay, i set off on a bit of a mission at the end of the day. No, actually i set off across the infield on a bit of a mission!! Yep, it really does turn in sharp now
Lost one brake duct and got a standing ovation from the motorbike mag boys that were there testing the latest crotch rockets. bodes well for Goodwood eh?
But i have a secret weapon in store. A good friend who's heavily into sprinting informed me he knows Goodwood like the back of his hand. So after drafting him in, he tells me " yeah i know every corner on the circuit" Cool i says. How come?
"'Cos I've crashed at every one of them!!" comes the reply.
Should be entertaining!!
