There's a lot of Scirocco in that.

Very much so...

do any of you cats fancy giving me a hand with the racer over the bh weekend? it's not the most exciting work, but i have fallen behind the schedule trying to submit my apc crap and could really do with a day of blitzing it. i reckon it would be smashed with 2 or 3 of us at it.

i can pay with booze, or tickets to the crystal palace motorsport or secstimes

Can I get the secstimes without doing any graft?

pm'd

Yeah, Saturday is DJ's thing but I can come before and then go to that later? My other half is on her hen do weekend so I'm free all weekend.
