Hi Suze,
Yes thanks, (I think) I'm gonna hire a van.
The track day has cost me about £1500 so far, so whats another £150
See you there everyone.



Okay, is my luck changing?
The hire guy upgrades me from a transit to a larger Crafter Van.
Gives me the transit rate. Gives me the weekend rate which is not supposed to start until tomorrow, throws in extra insurance AND a bike ramp. £109

Leaving on the first leg at 2pm. Hopefully all is well will collect the bike and a coffee and then second leg for another 3 hours or so. Should have taken the day off. Or to quote the Mrs "Are you mad?". I can only assume after all these years that was a rhetorical question.

See you all soon
Mark.
