Birthday egos

The slickegos have birthdays this week, both could be described as rites of passage, with the Stallion, achieving his 18th, I suppose he is ripe for stud!!, and the captain achieves his half century, so he could be put out to pasture!! Either way, we celebrate their days, and the captain wants to know where the big pressie is hidden! Coooooool!

PFI, and PPIK

We had a pleasant road trip to a hazy kind of Pfi, the stallion managed to stay awake the whole trip, denying the captain the oppotunity to listen to his favourite artistes, Shedaisy. The road trip was full of snoring on the return leg!!
Having not informed Pfi of his intention to participate, the Stallion was given the only kart left, and had a torrid time, consoled only slightly by gaining pole position in the second race!!!!!
We had 27 karts on track, and by now, with the guys being so even, the races are all about little mistakes which are capitalised on hungrily, and with much glee by all the racers!!! Mr B4U is much loved for his robust methods of overtaking, however the combined resources of the speedychick, and the `peril were sufficient to rein in his enthusiasm, and The speedychick ended the day with 2nd overall, another fantastic result!!!!! The enthusiastic approach of another driver, pushed the captain into an awkward moment with yet another racer, who went off, and subsequently complained, no opportunity to make amends presented itself, so we look forward to the next event! As the season has progressed, and the drivers get to know each other, there is less antagonism, and much more cameraderie, laughter, talking, between races, apologies, handshakes, ( a little muttering about Pansies) and afterward in the bar, which makes it a very cool way to spend Sunday a.m. Thanks, once again to Pete for engineering, my pedals mk2, makes the racing even more fun. YEA BABY!!!!!!
PPIK, same day, a few hours later.................... Captain no mates participated in a 2 hour enduro, luckily, roadie no mates, was available, and the printers father, and son team, were our true competition. Two young couples who have taken to karting, like a wolf to meat, were also involved, and a mixed group of teams , 12 in total, squirmed around the track on cold tyres, and game on!!!! Daddy printer had the lead in 5 corners! we were back in 10th, and the roadie was on his ass within 10 laps, places were swapped throughout the first stint, and when the captain started his stint we were in the lead!!!, Bad luck hit the printers, and the kart clutch blew, and they dropped several laps, however for entertainment, the captain squeezed the son of printer, as he unlapped himself, and was turned into a spin, which served him right. After a pretty clean race with only 2or3 yellows, the glory lap was led by the captain, but the TROPHIES went to the 3rd place team as we were considered to be too experienced for trophies!!! Good fun though, and congrats to the others who took part, but bollocks to the asswipe who pushed me off under the bridge, and buggered off into the pits realising, I could retaliate!!! oh please!

Moto GP

The media, constantly searching for ways of stirring up the fans, with stories based on half-truths, or more likely, rumour, would have us believe that the Rossi, has given up! Well anyone watching the championship last year at this time would Know better, this guy NEVER gives up, even now he would rather put it into a wall than yield a place if he can possibly hold onto it!!!So, to the media we say, `it ain`t over `til the fat lady sings' Yea Baby.
Speedy is still struggling with a chest infection, that he manfully overcame for the Buckmore event, and is feeling a little low due to his pet cat having died, well I`m with you man, and so is all the team. It would seem the Stallion is also under the weather, and we wish him a quick recovery.
Brands Hatch this weekend for the WTCC, watch out for Andy Priaulx, who has got to be the biggest british world champ we have, and the most ignored, if he can lift the title this year it will be the fourth year in succession(the first year the championship was classed as the european touring car) so come on guys, get behind him!!Yea Baby!!!

More Buckmore?




The roadtrip to Buckmore almost did`nt begin as a small drama with the bonnet catch, before setting off, nearly ended with no roadtrip!! once the diy skills caught up tho` it was `wagons roll' for the Stallion, and the Captain, on leg 1 of the journey...... The borrowed sat-nav was fantastic, however a mile from our destination, the annoying bitch inside the device, said `you have arrived' a quick call to the speedichick, soon proved that wrong!!!!!!, however, once underway again (with enough food to stun a rhino) we had a remarkably clear , and uneventful journey to Buckmore where, once again, we were a little further away than expected, by now we knew the drill, and drove aimlessly around Kent, until luck found the entrance to Buckmore. The other two members of the team, Speedy, and the Yellow Peril failed to hook up, despite living near the M25, we got hold of Speedy, but the Peril came close to not making it due to traffic!!!!


The track is on a hill, and after a marathon briefing, we began quali, despite a crap kart for team 1 we managed to place 8th for kart 2,and dead last for kart1,(we changed kart1 after the first lap, but it was still 2secs a lap slower!!) The first corners from a standing start with 31 other karts all wanting the same space, are fun, the captain, and the Stallion had this particular pleasure, after the usual sideways action, t-boning, spins, etc we were underway! Game on! Lap 1 for K1 was 5th, K2 was changed, and the stallion , let fly with his italian blood, and had a remarkable run to 17th before his first stop,(will we ever hear the fxxxing end of it? ) K1 was back to 5th at the first stop, on lap 39 . the second stints by the Speedichick, and the Peril were typically smooth, with little drama, although I`m sure I heard `GETTOUTTATHFXXXINGWAY!!!!!!!' being screamed by the speedychick , clearly impatient with the guys who were too busy waving at the crowd, obviously the Peril is much too urbane for that kind of behavior, and prefers to assist slower karts up the hill, whenever possible.....


In his stint K1 was up to 3rd, and that position was heldup to lap 107, where we settled at 4th, K2 was making steady progress in everyones hands, but 2secs a lap slower, c`mon Buckmore??


Speedy was heroic with raging hayfever, and megasnot, but still posting good laptimes, he deserves a special `Yea Baby'for his efforts!!!!! As the race progressed the night drew in, the lights came on, and the slick egos were getting excited! It was the final stints, our two fastest guys were out, he, who can kill with his breath, and she, who was once famous............ At the half hour mark, k1 was a minute behind 3rd place, and closing at over 2 secs a lap... yea! The Chick responded to the frantic screams of `GETTAFXXXINGMOOVON' from the captain with a little friendly wave!, despite her best efforts, k1 finished 11.7 secs down from 3rd. Peril was serenely assisting others up the hill all the way to the end, and finished 9th. Fantastic job, slickegos, first time at the circuit, two karts in the top 10, and one in the top 5!!!! YEA BABY!!


The facilities at Buckmore were first rate, only let down by the pitlane , which is a shambles, and the inconsistency of the karts which was`nt allowed to go without comment.............more later!!

Yea Baby!

Due to the overwhelming response to the `Name that Horse' competition, it has been decided to close the entries so that the judges can make their decision, prior to the upcoming uber kartfest, at Buckmore Park, the winner to receive their prize from the well-known, well- loved, well respected,............ sorry,...... she`s not available................. so, the Speedychick will have to do , instead. Never mind campers, an extra bingo session will be played , in the rear of the passat, instead. Speaking of roadtrips....................... a few rules for in-car-etiquette; all jokes are allowed; no fxxxing I-spy; All music shall be treated with respect or derision, as is appropriate; Farting should be discreetly followed by opening the window fully, unless you`re asleep, in which case, you will be shaken roughly to explain yourself; The Navigator should be respected, even when it is clear we are totally fxxxing lost, abuse should be succinct, pithy, and original; Respect the car, no shoes on the dash, or food in the ashtrays, please; For the poor traveller, sick bags will be provided; Any breaking of the above rules will mean banishment to the rear compartment, behind the dog guard!!!
All comments are welcome, and will be treated with due consideration.
Had a couple of iron man sessions at the weekend @ppik, the first was a yellowfest, the second had two yellow stoppages, and all the participants had big smiles, afterward. The first was the usual bunch of guys who still see the wide line as odd, despite the fact that the kart in front has lapped them several times!! I look forward to the new karts, with great anticipation, as these karts put you at the mercy of these numbnuts!! The second event was pure fun with two distinct groups, one was a large group of lads, the other, two couples, both had lots of fun, and laughter afterward in the bar, and will come back again, My times were terrible , but they made it a pleasure. Yea Baby!!!!

Men don`t do this.............

Why do men snore when they sleep on their backs?.....................................because their balls drop over their arseholes, and block the airway!!!!!!!

there were three nuns in church, two were crying, one was laughing. The priest walked up to the first crying nun, and said `why are you crying?' she said, `I have killed someone!' the priest told her to go to the font, and drink the holy water. To the second crying nun he asked the same question, she said, `I stole a car!' she, also, was told to go to the font, and drink the holy water. the priest asked the third nun, `why do you laugh, when your sisters are in pain?' `I just peed in the holy water!' she chortled.

A blonde woman went to the doctor with burnt ears, `what happened' asked the doctor? `The phone rang, and I picked up the iron, by mistake'. `And the other one?'he asked. `They rang back.'

Commiserations


The uberkind Speedy, had a bad weekend, albeit with some highlights. His attempt at obtaining his msa licence was a bust, however, his opportunity to play in some high powered machinery, particularly the Lotus Exige was some compensation. Look at it as a qualifying session, Speedy, for the next race, where you race from the back of the grid, and take the top step of the podium, on the last lap!!!Yea Baby!!!!
