Looking to book onto the trackday at Brands Hatch on 23 July. 1. Anyone up for joining? 2. Research suggests most people don't get trackday insurance when they go on the track - is it advisable? The bike is only £1800 but I guess it's definitely worth it for personal injury but there just don't seem to be many providers out there. Any I find include it with their comprehensive road covers but not as an add-on

For sending me camber bolts and anti roll bar brackets... Thanks guys and they wouldn't except postage... I can now spin up the world in my zed...1st time in about 2yrs too lol...

Just renewed by PayPal. Who do I inform. There use to be a thread.

....who's hitting the roads?? I am straight out there. Weather is perfect! Roads are going to be deserted (hopefully)!

Well, I got up this morning and realised I couldn't breathe!! Being a girlie, I tried to work through it but after half an hour I got carted off in an ambulance. Can't praise the paramedics highly enough. The first one was here in under 5 minutes and they were all lovely. The hospital don't know if I've got a blood clot on my lung or a chest infection so they are throwing everything at it and I'm covered in tubes n wires n an oxygen mask. And they have poked about 10 new holes in me!!! Not the happiest bunny at the mo. I think I need a hug!!

And looking forward to doing some more damage later. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Many thank guys, Hollings

the fleet, all mot'd insured and ready for the road. Just need loads of me to drive them cars

This is mainly what I do;

Sat at some lights in the right turn filter lane when a cyclist comes up alongside and proceeds to creep forward and then then go across the road against the red light ....... I just blasted the horn at him all I got was a finger ! Caught up with him at the next lights and told him cyclists have to obey traffic signals as well and got a mouthful of abuse... Hope he ends up under a car pdq !

I'm really hoping someone can help me pretty urgently. I need 5 photos cropped and moved around so 4 of them are 5cm x 8cm and 1 is 12cm x17cm. Basically I need to put these 5 photos into a frame that holds 5 pictures. So I need to give my friend a jpeg so he can print an A4 sheet on photo paper that I can just cut the photos out and fit into the frame. Can anyone help me with that? Cheers Vijay

Horrific crash in free practice, Audi team driver looks to have suffered some injury but by some miracle not dead. "Loic Duval, driver of the #1 Audi R18 E-tron Quattro, suffered a massive crash today during free practice for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Duval's car reportedly went off track backwards at high speed near the Porsche Curves and flew into the retaining fence. There is no video of the actual crash at the moment, the wall nearby the car appears unaffected" Jeff TT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDcOy45PVeI
