Yep, thinking of Obi and Thor at the same time does not make for dry eyes.

I'm only doing what I do now after seeing the Doune video at Lawrence's and being astounded by it all. Lots of word of encouragement (using both the carrot and the stick) followed as did a few autotests when I bought the 7.

His attention to detail at an event like an autotest was remarkable - but having got the chance to walk Forrestburn with him I understood why - no matter what your doing in the car good results are based on good preperation.

Wish I had the opportunity to walk Doune with him...........perhaps I have.


TSE will live on!

I did not post about it Campbell, too upset, but I think Clare had told Scotty and Andy, so I had a few pm's (will answer them shortly)

The vet came yesterday afternoon, and put him to sleep. Just at the right time as his back legs had given way again that morning.

Timing could have been better though as the Family went away at midnight to Lanzarote for two weeks, so the house is very empty without his company. After Verian he has been my closest friend for 14 years. I keep forgetting and go to see that he is OK or give him a biscuit.

However it will wear off.

Thor waiting for the cars to turn up at tt 2005. RIP

Rest in Peace big chap :cry:

You kinda let it slip in a conversation with Craig on here, so I'd figured it out. Mentioned to him to send my love if he saw you last night.

I'm having a drink with a friend who's just had his second child on Tuesday. One enters as another leaves.. I'll have a drink for Thor though, bloody lovely dog.

Never met Thor, but 5 years of SE, with pics and storys, I feel as if I have. Never easy to loose a pet.

Sorry to hear this Tut. But last seen hooning around in Lawrence's pax seat on St Peter's private sprint track, complete with flying goggles and silk scarf :-)

Chin up buddy.

Just a quick update on this - Cameron and I have been in discussion and the wheels are turning. There will be a slightly newer look to the TSE website once it's re-launched but the feel will still be the same.

Cameron is busy with updating the back office stuff - I have no idea what he's doing but it's got something to do with platforms, I think it maybe of a different type to the ones I'm used to though.

Once we are back up and running I'll make a rather large song and dance about it on here (and will include all the race reports etc for the down period along with a page explaining the origins of TSE.
