thats an interesting quote Zed - where in the UK are you from ?

I have dabbled being a racing driver (MM Championship) so I only drive fast on the track - had a big accident last year and my family would rather me not race anymore - I think it was more frightening for them than me.

I am buliding a 328 Track car just for fun with a mate which should stop the tempation of doing 150 mph + on the A303

Icon14 I expect that you will enjoy your 233 as much as I am enjoying mine

The strap thing is a bit obsessive.
I already have three plus the two that came with the watch. The strange thing is I keep looking at others. Now I know why there is a market for the previously unknown watch band folder.

To all outthere is there a maximum before you say enough straps??

I move where the work is.. started up in newcastle.. then Surrey.. and now in West Cumbria (Workington) whiuch has be become my pemenent Base.. i am currently on an assignement in Qatar.. been expating for 8 years..

Cool man.. being a (REAL) racing driver.... for me i just love to feel the car clinching on the road with the last ot its fingernaile while i could hear the engine pounding in rythme with my heart.. it is a : feeling i cant get enough of... i maintain 180km/h on semi curvy roards and 80-120km/h on serious montain terrain with lots of 180s..

here is a snap shot of an accident i had last year with my 4x4 V W Tuareg.. (i was not speeding then)
SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT BABY ON YOUR WRIST...

Hi Zed,

That was one hell of a crash - I sure hope you were ok?

All the best
