Cars kinda sorted. Runs ok today, wipers still out, exhaust is getting fixed up just after boxing day.

Also went to Radical sports cars today, got a look at the prototype of the world's fastest electric car. Looks dope.

Working Xmas Eve for first time in many a year.

Have to say I'm very impressed with Red Nellie, our MINI Cooper all this adverse weather and driving conditions and she ain't missed a beat.

fc has now jinxed her

Radicals are a fantastic motor, not seen the electric one yet.

Reid was that the same car as the white thing that chick from Fifth Gear drove on an episode a while back?

10:50pm on Christmas Eve and I've finally caugh up on all the work I had to... can now relax for a couple days

That was the Tesla that she drove, this car is potentially faster (they haven't taken it to the track yet). Durham university have designed this engine that they are dropping into a modified Radical chasis. The engine itself wasn't there today but everything else was set up. Looked really impressive, they've got an awesome workshop.



edit: Wipers are just a blown fuse. Should be fixed when shops open up again after christmas. Whoop!

^ Reid I got stuck in the snow last night on a wrong turn in Beeston, Leeds. I was stuck on own and nearly burnt the clutch out. OOPs. Driving home today it was shitty cars in the lefts lane flash cars in the right. I had to over take the old micra give me ten year old fiesta an ego boost.

Being annoyed with myself for going out last night. I never go out for more than a couple of pints as I don't want to compromise the amount of eating I've got planned, and what happened? I got fucking cunted.

Been up since 7 feeling awful, it's finally starting to go away though so hopefully I'll be fine by lunchtime.

I'm right with you on that.
Too much curry after no eating and lots of drinking yesterday has left me deflated about even starting the food prep.

[cracky]

Hope you feel better soon fellas, christmas day hangovers are not good, i am ever so slightly still hungover

Had my first crash in the car today. Window steamed up and I decided to pull up in front of my mum's car to fix it. Accidently scraped maybe a metre down the side of her Golf. Luckily it's just scraped paint on both cars, feel like a fucking dick though. Not been a good a week for me and cars (although I did get a full toolkit today, can't wait to start fixing shit for real).


No soops on the christmas front but got some other nice loot

[cracky]

I have opened presents, so has our lass and our young 'un , stuffed my fat face and had a few bevvy's, now i am bored...........oh and im another year older. ffs!

[mr.pure]

Done most of the same minus the missus and kids, I think a few more drinks are in order.
Been tearing round the Nurburgring using my G255 steering wheel today.
Loads of fun but fucking hard to control.
