Difficult times, but the price of oil is coming down and petrol was "only" 103.9 yesterday. Nice to watch the Government squirm - spent weeks in the spring persuading us we have to pay more for our fuel to save the planet, now calling for the oil companies to drop their price..........go figure!

Our wedding anniversary today - 21 years makes me feel really old, I'd be out by now if I'd murdered her etc etc - yes all the old jokes come to the fore.

To more interesting things: racing. Alas, at this time of year there is none. I need to get the block and crank to Zebs for machining, would like to do that before Christmas, but I'm a touch short of money for racing, having bought the SCCR. Blast. Had a quick squint at the TSR Midget racing web page which is energising me to get more work done, but I'm not keen on the Midget Challenge. All that hassle for 15 minutes racing....I don't know what the Legendary Circuits are planning for 09 but I'd like to do that. If not, maybe another quiet year. Have decided I'd prefer to do fewer races of better quality, can't get excited about 10 laps around Mallory compard to 2 hours a Monza....been spolit I suppose.
