215, filled up and at the factory! Just a tad early.

6hr 15 mind doesn't bode well for daytime return tomorrow, but it's belated birthday present time at 9am.

Heart fm helped me the final but of the stint although to hear them proclaim the music as all 80's all night has made me feel slightly ancient!!

Till morning, and some slightly more thrilling chat hopefully!

Sodding lap top just lost my latest update!

Woke this morning thinking WTF am i doing. I'm not 21. I've just slept in the rangie, and unlike in my formative years, didnt have the foresight to bring any sleeping equipment, nor female gymnast with nypho tendancies or at least a lady trained in the art of massage....that will be what marriage does to you :mrgreen:

My alarm cock this morning was some Valentino want to be, whose bike i could hear screaming a mile off. I looked up expecting some heroics to be greated with someone with a similar talent level to Mr Bean, on a bike that looked like it might be more manly with stabilizers on it, albeit it did have some stickers on it so it MUST be fast.....

The sun is out, my 600+bhp per tonne birthday present is less than 1 mile away, and things are looking up - or they were until i realised that I'd forgotten to bring any juice/water for this morning. Suspect I'll be down to 12 cans of the radioactive orange stuff when i can face it then!

So, run in route - no idea - though I might go to Peppa Pig World and pick Charlotte up some tat, or of course I might just sack that off and drive round the country lanes till my tyres are on the canvas, and i have a perma grin so demented that even the Joker would ask "WTF?"

Still, better than a day in the office :cheers

Andy, If you have the time, how about a blast down to Lands End and back? That was my original plan when I picked mine up. I'll never forget Tom's advice on running it it - "Just drive it like you stole it for 500 miles."

As I sit on the train heading in to central Edinburgh for a meeting....I couldn't be more jealous...

When I can afford to up the fleet to 3 cars an atom is definitely on the list...

Look forward to the next update!
