2008 resolutions/goals

ryallm · Post by **ryallm** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 11:31 am

End of the year is nigh, so just wondering what resolutions or goals y'all have for 2008. Things I really want to do next year:

- Use and enjoy the Exige more - did a lamentably low mileage in 2007.

- Get my formation skydiving qualification (off jumping in Florida in 3 weeks time

).

- Skydive amongst big mountains (trip to Switzerland booked for June)

- Get up to the Highlands more often for kayaking/walking - always find the Scottish mountains and coastline a tonic for the soul.

- Get my swimming fitness back - spent most of this year nursing a shoulder injury.

- Juggle all the above to make as much time as possible for my wee boy Max - he'll be 2 this time next year so it is a special time.

Needless to say work doesn't figure too highly on my priority list

I think everybody will relate to making better use of free time. I plan to re-focus (dump useless cars & free some money) to getting the Elise back to the top of it's game and then do two or three big events this year.

Le Mans is a priority.

v. impressive indeed mate...

For me, its looking like the beginning of this year is going to be better than the fecking mess at the beginning of 2007 which did get a whole lot better

This year is going to be a year tying up loose ends...
-Constructing a garage at my new house is a must for '08
-Finishing my part-time Uni course (which has been on hold for over a year)
-Keeping the elise away from garages (other than getting a service!)
-Spending more time with family and friends in Scotland instead of over on the emerald isle!

anyway, hope you all have a good one
All the best in 2008!

Last year for me was to survive the first year in self employement... managed that... and moved house.

Next year.. (I know I have said this last year- but then bought house).. next year, I will try and start saving for a caterham I think,... although me and saving don't mix very well

Support Mac in everything he does with that silly car
Drive my car more both on the road and track
TUT TOWERS 2008 !

Well in 2007 I ......
- left my gf of 6 years
- sold our house and bought myself a flatin glasgow
- changed job
- didnt use my VX enough
- spent too much money on lawyers
- got a bit fatter

In 2008 i intend to.....
- start my new for '08 job and stay in it more than 2 mins

- spend less money on lawyers*
- spend more time in vx
- get fit (which means more time on MTB VXJON!)
- ensure i (ahem) make the most of new gf
- go to more trackdays / autotests / SE beers events

I'm thinking 2008 should be a cracker

* taking my old employer to a tribunal might not help this

Right at this moment in time Derek and I would like to feel like we belong in this world instead of being stuck with lemsip, paper hankies and anadin extra in our hands! We've certainly ended 2007 on a low (been in bed ill since the 27th), so hopefully tomorrow and the rest of the year can only get better!
