Summary
My best performance of the year.
Matched my best qualifying and best race result.

My provisional table place is now 7th (up from 11th), on target for a planned top ten finish to the year - bring on Cadwell. Can I squeeze past Nick ????

Don't really know Cadders, so expectations are low, but bring it on!!!! ;)

Crappy weather, but superb DSC support as always - really fantastic, many thanx to all who supported in the rain, its very much appreciated.

Ali - shame about the engine, TP - ouch!!. (and that's just 'cause of the £40 you now owe me!!! ;)

To Alan, many thanks for the help getting me through Scutineering - they are thorough buggers!!!

The DSC camaraderie is just awesome.

I make it 7th. Well done today.....

Even better!!!! - nice one - I've edited accordingly!! ;)

quality mate .. maybe a night in Camberley to celebrate your new found vigour ..... well done ... was indeed impressive ....

Its taken me a fortnight to get over the last one!!! ;)

I'm very pleased for you Tim, looks like you had a great day.

Sorry to hear of you spill TP, looks like with the cricket and all you did'nt have a very good day:sniff:

Well done Tim, you're getting up the sharp end at last (unlike me).

Just you wait, there will be a queue of BSB teams at Cadders for your autograph :P

Seriously well done though, it's been coming all year.

Good ride (ya bastid)

:D

Well on it today mate :)

Rattler, have I told you you're becoming a real pain the arse?

Well done Tim, some good finishes there!


I think you're neglecting to tell everyone that after you found out I was doing 56's last Monday night you pulled out of the betting! You big poof!

You can have the £10 I owe you for Donny.

Yeh right - you know very well that the bet was back on !!!

Blimey, I know you're hurt, but I didn't realise you were suffering from amnesia too!!!

Yeh right - you know very well that the bet was back on !!!

Blimey, I know you're hurt, but I didn't realise you were suffering from amnesia too!!!

thats handy tim. you can pay for the brands garage ;)

Yep - forgot about that, will have to sort it out, no probs at all - have U2U's you.

As for TP, that's what you call a sore loser!!! ;)

well done mister, glad you got things together :)

Umm ... thanks. I didn't realise it was so important to you.

I only recall you saying you didn't want to go on with it anymore. But you're right, I've been very drunk lately and I concede I may not recall you saying you wanted to bet again.

Consider the £40 yours.

TP - please make an appropriate donation to "Riders for Health" on my behalf and we'll bury the hatchet.

Tim

MEOW!!!!

Nice one fella - now get well soon you **** ;)

I've got plenty of time to do that now that I'm unemployed ...

are you? cold you not be doing some work from home? - as usual????? ;)

Tim, once again I enjoyed our little battle tremendously, regardless of the outcome :flame:

and well done on jumping up so many places in the table... no mean feat at this late stage. With Andy not attending round 6 you should be looking at 6th by the end of Cadwell (although feel free to dream of 5th!)

n

Be afraid, be very afraid !!!!:devil::devil::devil::devil::devil::devil:

5th is within my reach, oh yes and I won't be denied !!!

I just need to win both races and you finish no better than 3rd !!! - yeh right ;)

Or beat you by 8 places each race!!! :o:o:o:o

Oh well - I'll go out fighting - but you can't afford another superman moment!!! ;)

I was close behind him when he did it Tim and I thought it looked more like a darned good impression of one of those nodding dogs you see on the parcel shelf in old cars :lol:
