Maybe you are, we don't know. Maybe you were just really annoyed that you couldn't fit your chainsaw into Roo's mini.
True, I could have attempted a murderous rampage with a straw....or a parachute man with some anthrax in.....
I hadn't realised Diego gave Chris some of his Amsterdam 'special' at the weekend.

My photos from the weekend.
Spotted on the M1 on the way up – picture courtesy of Sureshot (thanks Nigel!):
James (G.T), Chris (Touring Mars) and Mark the loony-Astra-driving caretaker:
Kendra (GTPlant), admining hard:
The rubber ball view:
Diego takes a picture of the Bowling God, aka Brett, aka Race Idiot, whilst the crowd remain unmoved:
Everybody dance now. Ben (Specialized) won:
The scariest sight of the weekend – Diego gives it both barrels:
David (daan) and Ben machine gunning – sorry, shotgunning – some cows, and occasionally even a buck:
“You shot a cow!”
Dave and Famine were close all weekend - both on and off the track:
Awww.
Not only is Famine a Mass Debater, he’s a complete ranker too:
Here’s Dave, 44 laps down… and he still won!
The proud winning team from the Endurance, collecting their coveted T-shirts – Dave (VEXD), Nick (Smallhorses) and David:
Some more T-shirt winners - James and Dan (TheCracker):
Diego, with his Special Edition S7 Beat:
The racing was closer than Dave and Famine all weekend - James was this close to a win in the Beat, whilst half a car length separated the DTMs at La Sarthe (drivers?):
In the Rutland, relaxing after a hard day's racing. From bottom left: Evil non-Scottish Dave (VEXD), Carys (EXelero), Diego, Sarah (Sarebear), Rob (AMG), Nick (Smallhorses), Scottish David (daan), Famine, Ben (Specialized), Chris (Touring Mars) and Bert (dustdriver):
Ben, as always, drunk enough for all of us
Your eyes do not deceive you - Carys really did take a well deserved victory in the Historics:
One of the best races of the weekend for everyone came at High Speed Ring in the Historic Handicap. On the left, the left LANers had a 4 way battle, never more than a few tenths apart; on the right, the right LANers had a similiarly close race - I won in the middle Alfa(!), Chris was 2nd in the right Alfa, +0.030 behind, and Rob in the Golf finishsed 3rd, +0.086 behind. I was so glad to be out of that poxy Alfa:
Bert won the Historics, triumphing in the Spitfire and Midfield:
Our lovely (EnS Dave) and lovelier (Carys) hosts receiving flowers, choccies and a bottle of Malibu for setting up a brilliant weekend:
I won the “I Tried Hard” award (yay!):
Our Driver of the Weekend: Dave won the trophy – second only in the final results to Famine, who bought the trophy, and wouldn’t have fitted it in the MX3 anyway:
That’s all from me – I’ve
of people photos... still got some of the GTP car park though.
EDIT: This is priceless.

It certainly was. The picture above with the two light-blue Alfa's and the Golf is the climax to an 11-minute long race, which saw the top three finish within one tenth of a second! It was a terrific race! Luckily, VEXD was also in a Golf but for some reason or other (either starting at the back of the grid, or a nerf on the first lap), he was unable to catch us because we were lapping faster due to being able to draft each other down the back straight. Luckily, it was just a three-way battle, not a four-way battle, and with both Nathan (Roo) and myself desperate to finish in the top 2 (in order to gain a 'promotion' out of the Alfa Romeos), that suited us both just fine. It would have been sporting and an even more exciting race had we purposely let VEXD catch up to join the action (a point that VEXD repeatedly made whilst watching the replay), but both Nathan and I had been stuck in the Alfa for a few races, and so our levels of sporting generosity were pretty low! (atleast mine was, anyway..!!!)

I'd like to just point out that that Lambo insisted on doing 40 in the M1 restricted to 50 bit, after a while me and Nathan suddenly realised that all the cars infront of it had disappeared!
Talking of the next one....... I can't do the weekend involving the 8th and 9th of Sept.

I concur, it was the best race I had, very fortunate to be able to keep up with you and Roo. Infinitely more fun to be able to stay close than to trail by >30 secs. That I came 3rd really didn't bother me. The close race was so much fun.👍

hello again!
two things....
Would love to take credit for this Diego, but i didnt drive the Spyker ever! I cheated and went straight to the Vanquish, cos you'd all complained bout the Spyker....
Did i really win a race??
Are you sure Roo? Only remember a second....
there were a couple of seconds, but i'm sure i never achieved a first....
TM i LOVE the avatar. 👍
Roo, the over head shot shows off the start of VEXD's bold patch.
Spec, the kiss......
Sarah thought she had it bad, but VEXD really got around!

Here's a video I made of the classics race from High Speed Ring.
The video shows the end of lap 2 - start of lap 3. I crossed the line at the end of lap 2 0.132 behind the leader, and I was in 4th. It then skips to the last lap and a blanket finish.
Cast list:
Dustdriver - Mk1 Golf
Sureshot - Mk1 Golf
smallhorses - Alfa Spider
daan - Isuzu 117 coupe

dustdriver won after coming out of the last corner in 4th place and drafting past everyone. I got 2nd, sureshot 3rd with smallhorses 4th.
