Got to run a SKID CAR session today, a company from Hereford. We did half their team on Wednesday, and I think it went well. Everyone seemed to learn. It's quite a lot to take in for a driver, sometimes it seems the driving is worse than when they arrive, but it's easy to confuse yourself. If you do ever take a SKID CAR course, just relax and let your driving do the work. It soon falls into place in the real world.
Another Midget turned up last night, don't know why but I seem to be home to lost causes. Looks like the engine has been sold to a German, otherwise think we're only looking at diff and suspension off this one to make any money. Next Saturday I should be able to drop the 1500 shell off at John's in Tamworth which will mean I can get this one on the trailer and make room for another! And so it goes on...good job I've got understanding neighbours (and wife for that matter!)....
We had a bit of a rush on racewear sales at the start of the week, and it's slowed a bit now as has tended to happen for the past couple of years. I can't understand it, we're still 50% up on this month last year and 43% up on the same time in 2007...not complaining mind you, but it's worrying - are we going to be hit badly but later by the recession? Oh, why can't I accept good news without worrying!
Sarah's off on a girls' weekend away in Brecon today so Alex & I are on our own........brave of her to leave us! I need to get down to Poole tomorrow and pick up a seat for the ZS, and Sunday's supposed to be snowy. At least they say so, but it never gets bad round here so I'm quite confident we'll miss it again. Strange, bad weather catches us out to the extent that the weather forecasters now cry wolf so many times. Ah, just checked the BBC weather site again and now we're forecast to have light rain on Sunday instead of heavy snow! Told you!
Mind you, could do with some snowy days to remind people they need a SKID CAR lesson...
