The weekend of ROUGH LOVE

mckeann · Post by **mckeann** » Mon Aug 21, 2006 3:23 pm

Hi folks, just back from a very tiring weekend, and after 13 hours sleep to recover, I thought I had better get a thread written before I forget the best bits. Basically, the weekend involved a Walshy day, a wild night out, a BBQ, party, and another wild night out, and a last minute addition of a cadwell park trackday.

This might seem a kind of weird report; all my words are in normal text, all AndyGâ€™s additional comments are in bold. There will be videoâ€™s to add at some point as well.

Let the story telling begin.

THURSDAY

I left work at 5pm for the drive south. Traffic at Edinburgh was terrible but eventually met Andy at Soutra on the A68 at 6pm. Plan of action was to get to North weald travel lodge as quickly as possibly, hopefully before last orders. Set of down the A68 all the way to Darlington at roughly 100 tuts. More traffic on the A1 slowed us down and we didnâ€™t make last orders.

5.45, and Mckean has yet to pitch up. Clearly the Honda was not getting enough â€œRough Loveâ€

Thanks guys for taking the time to write up a report of your antics in such an entertaining manner.

Neil - Looking foward to Videoing up your car and getting some fresh footage on track, not too mention just having a laugh in the passenger seat.

Andy - I used the same technique of giggling like a child to get Walshy to go faster, actually it works on most drivers. If that dosn't work then pointing out that an arch rival appears to be pulling away from them usually does the trick
