I have been packing up my camping gear, now, if anyone could tell me in which parallel universe I safely stored the tent I wanted to use this weekend in, I would be very grateful LOL

Mrs Lagonda would have said a word or two when she went through the credit card statements on return to OZ and discovered that I'd spent $600 Oz dollars on watching cars go around in circles. (Mind you if she had chance she would have spent more then that on tickets to center court at Wimbledon)

        Cheer young Daniel on for us, Its nice to watch him show that little German runt how to drive.

          USA went further than most predicted. It was a hard fought match, but Belgium prevailed. Oh well...

                  Sure did.. Saw a news piece on NBC last week, said the US had the most "fans" there of any nation in Rio for the games.

                  I think more people here are getting into the sport now.

                  Was in Buffalo Wild Wings not too long ago and they had a Barcelona game on the big screen and people were cheering on. All the while SEC baseball tourny was going on the others.

                      Enjoy yourself Debs, you deserve it!. Not sure that Pimms it the right drink to go with motor racing, thought a good pint of bitter would be nearer the mark.

                                You are correct, Sir; had a taste in New Orleans a few years ago.
