you know tripod; i'm starting to like you :-) that's just supposing i don't know you already of course. you remind me of a wild young thing that used to post on all the forums. he rode fast, he drove fast, he talked fast and he wound boring old geriatrics up fast as well with his passionate and no nonsense postings. and looking back through some of his old postings it seems he was pretty damned right on a lot of [so called] iffy topics. like superstars pulling out of every ugp race a few years ago with 'electrical problems' - or as he saw it every time the clouds opened. can't remember the bloke's name at the moment [the poster, not the rider], but i know he used to live 50 yards away from geoff barry and about 200 from ivan rhodes - and about 300 from john kirkham, who lives in the first house in ockbrook - just across brian clough way from borrowash :-)
