I’d happily have a week off work with the wife and kids away, give me some piece and quiet, even if she did write. Whole list of jobs in a book.....

I have seen the overhead signs saying road closures on the M27 this weekend! Does anyone know if it's just overnight closures,  or all day?

Ok I will look for another route.

Ok, looks like it will only be shut from junctions 3-4 eastbound, so anyone travelling from the west would be best off travelling along the A303 and down towards Eastleigh along the A34 and M3.

Hi is there still space for potentially two cars for this

Sure, can you list some details of the cars as you can see in the running order on the previous page. I'm gonna have to double check with JKM in the morning as I think we're approaching their maximum by, IIRC we're not at it yet

There is bound to be a few drop out in the next few days.

Need to leave at 7am. That's a lie in for me but for her it's apparently very unreasonable.

Yeah but it's a lot quicker than your plug and play 245. Brand new 276bhp Ford Focus ST tried to out drag me on the M1 slip road this evening and is probably still wondering how I went past him so quickly and mine isn't even a 2.3 litre turbo just the baby Golf R 2.0 litre.

Just stick to those motorways where you don't need a car that can handle, my friend

If you ever get the chance of driving your 245 round Donington Park race track you will be amazed how much a Vrs understeers. You simply can't get the power down while changing direction. Only the 2 straights are fun the rest of the circuit is scary for an Octavia got well embarrassed by the latest Civic Type R despite him having less power and torque.
