After lusting after a different type of 'hot bodies' for years (hot chicks, not guys Stu), along comes another type.

I will drive in 2008 for Hot Bodies. I'm looking forward to running the D4 this year, and the D2, which by the sounds of it will be awesome

Sad in a way to see the Pred go (onto the shelf ), after 9 years it's been part of my life. I think they'll still let me go on the Pred forum

Anyway, here's to the new season with new cars, I hope everyone has a good one!

Preston 8th, steep learning curve. We don’t know anything. It was a good job that Tricky, Stu Mahon & Colin were there, or we’d have been bummed.

My car ran OK all day, still running rich though. Not too sure about tuning settings but they were set as the engine instruction say. Damian’s car however was set god-knows-how, Tricky spent a fair bit of time setting it up, with good results. He also helped with fuelling us up and general telling is what was what.

I qualified B2, Damian (after engine trouble that was sorted through the day) was C2. Damian won the C, bumped up to B7. We had a quick very light shower before the B, bad for me, the rubber I was on was shite in the damp. Damian (running Crime Fighters) seemed to love it, breezing past me to take the B final win, bumping up to the A.

A 10 minute ‘C’, followed by a 15 minute ‘B’...

Crazy -
Total madness -

I'm off out now 'cos I need a beer.
We thought it would be a nice relaxed club meeting affair - it was not, but in a good way.

I'll add more later, off out now.

First time the 8ight's have run properly today, just a blast really, for me to get a few more tanks through the engine, get it leaned off a bit and make sure the brakes are set.

Difficult to make much of the handling from running on tarmac but Damian is sure that the handling is more forgiving that a B44.

Preston tomorrow, the engine will still be rich so I don't expect fireworks, just hope to be somewhere like competitive. That said it's still fast, just uses a lot of juice.

I'll take some pics and put up how it goes.

Don't bother with them, they're shite.

I had some for my dinner today (that's the meal northerners have at around 12pm for you southerners), and only managed about 3 fork fulls.

Have some grapes, a cocolate moose, and some crisps though so I won't starve.

Going out to a 'do' tonight, might have to wear a shirt
