Pete, she has turned out an absolute stunner !
Any bets on whether you or Di gets the first drive ????
So bloody close now - you had better start prepping the neighbours for the onslaught !
Kind Regards,
Peter D. | |

Of course he'll get the 1st drive. I can't wait to see the smile on his face - and I don't mind if he sleeps in it!!

Uh OH [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] It appears that not only is the lovely Di [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] reading my post's she has learned to reply [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]. At least she concedes that I get first drive [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Of course that may mean that from then on it is hers and I get the RX8 [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
I think she should stick to fishing... | |

Di, you have just opened "Pandora's Box" (so to speak) - sleeping in a GT40 raises some questions :
- with whom ?
- doing what ?
- does your medical insurance cover chiropractors ?
- ask naughty old Bill 'X' about it & see how many "red-faced icons" you get ! (name witheld to protect the guilty - there are enough "Bills" on the Forum for him to remain hidden - or fess up & become a legend) !
Have fun - like that's going to be hard !
Kind Regards,
Peter D. | |

Pete,
All I can say is that you'd better start taking yoga classes immediately! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Flexibility is the key! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
To be safe, keep your cellphone nearby,
with your chiropractor's number on speed dial! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Thanks Tim. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Peter D and Bill, I can assure you that I have no intention of sleeping in it. Maybe if I was eighteen I would try it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] But these days comfort takes priority.
However I am curious to know if um er [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] it is possible. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Has anyone actually managed Er [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] IT? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
With Pandora or anyone of her mates [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Maybe Bill
X has the key to the correct technique [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |

I've got a confession...my wife has driven the GT40 more than I have. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Hoping to rectify that once it's back on the road after the rebuild. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Will Di take it out on the track? I'm pretty sure my other half will give it a go.
And you guys have got me thinking about possible positions...may be possible with the door open... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |

Pete,
It's possible, but it ain't easy! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
Craig,
Door open? Now that's just plain cheating! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
