Boys and Their Toys: F1 debacle!

How embarrasing for F1 to go to the states and then have just 6 cars race around the brickyard! I hung my head in shame and then promtly turned off. It is about time that the FIA were kicked from the sport as its governing body because quite frankly Max Mosely and The little squirt Bernie Ecclestone could'nt govern a piss up in a brewery in my opinion!

When will organisations and for that matter companys learn that without your fans (customers) YOU ARE NOTHING!!!

Boys and Their Toys: Mental Illness

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." So I'm told.

Her indoors thinks I have too many hobbies, and that I border on the obsessive! To date they include:

Golf (The only game I play and never get any better at) :(

Motor Racing (She thinks that she will be able to beat the lads in our Kart, Mark smirks)

Yacht Racing (She gets seasick)

Racing cars across Europe and America whilst being chased by the police! Ahem (To dangerous)

Robot Wars (This did get obsessive)

Computer Games (Men never grow up) Or as my missus puts it! When am I going too :)

Horse Riding and showing (This one is ok because it's also what the missus does)

Snowboarding (Im trying to get her into this one and then that will be ok too)

Thats not to many is it?

I shall leave you with this thought...

Men are like a fine wine... They start out as humble grapes, and then women stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

The gumball is calling me

Sex is definately my Ferrari 550 Maranello

Well I am tempted yet again to enter the Gumball in 2005, or failing that the Cannonball 8000 :) We will see.

The big question is! What car to use and who to take with me? I guess I could use my Z3M Roadster but it's a bit noisy for a long haul at 160mph! Or I could get back my old Maranello pictured above. Those were the days before I had an Animal lover for a missus with 5 horses 5 dogs and a cat called Alan!

To be honest I think King Kimble has the right idea in a CL3000 Merc! Luxury and speed at the same time :) Still it does give me an awfully good excuse to beg, borrow, steal or BUY that 575 Maranello ive always wanted :) I wonder if Foskers Ferrari in kent will rent me one he he!

Jason at Cannoball rings me on occasion to tempt me with tales of partys and supermodels ha ha We will see.

Mark...

PS
Mark wonders if the missus will actually let him do this! Not single anymore see :) Practicality and Fiat Punto's are the order of the day now :(
