    Nice run Lockerbie mate, really pleased your enjoying it.
    Going to send my card away this week for renewal, my mate out at Burscough has been hinting he'd like me to go have a play on my odd weekends off.
    "his words, not like your riding the bike is it, so may as well keep my eye in"

    Made my fist monumental cock up last night took a wrong turn following a tight lane backed it into a junction and got the near side stuck in a grass verge. Dug itself in oops got winched out by a wrecker. NIGHTMARE!!

    Well done, it's not the easiest of tests to pass, easy for something to trip you up.
    Congratulations,
    Mike.

    Really Must dust my licence off.
    Really fancy a nice Return trip to Inverness again, you know. For old times sake.

    That will be Nigel does that run and kips there all week.

    Fleetwood>Grimsby
    Grimsby>Manchester Market>Fleetwood
    Night out

    As you go through the ABP gate drive straight up 500 yards on the left 'offle corner' it effin stinks done that a few times, trailer change drop new bins and upto Gretna to meet the pissed up Jocks to bring the Salmon from Fort William.

    SimonRR - elephant racing its great ;) I can see where your coming from but when the guy in front is paid by the hour doin 49 and I am paid by the shift 55 I'm gonna overtake. Big time saving especially on a distance run.
