Pretty sure nobody missed me anyway, or nobody knew I was gone, but I'm BACK !!!

Been quiet for some time now, sorry guys, Shrew, Kev and the rest of you wonderful people.

Shrew, I will need some help on some wheels mate

Kev, I'll catch up on your threads mate, see what you've done with that 33

John, I'm pretty sure you havent touched that 33 yet and I'm confident that that new garage of yours now contains only your jetski :p


So starting tomorrow morning, I'll be back on track with you guys, seeking for technical assistance, asking for opinions and suggestions, and making stupid comments

Noticed you had been a little quiet ...

can't say i'd noticed

























welcome back mate.

some catching up to be done

nice to see you are still with us Chris - is it a secret what you have been doing?

I was going to ask the same .. but I thought everyone would have thought nosey woman .. so from a man this is totally acceptable ...

Oh god why did you have to come back

so cruel!




did you ban him for a fortnight JB?

Tempting
Well for his information there will be two ski's in my new garage by next week

Right...

I've been doing 3 jobs lately, and as things turn out, I'll keep doing so at least for the rest of the year if things dont get any better.

So I'm working at my day job till 16:30, then I do my afternoon job which is restorations/recommissioning cars/services/upgrades and tuning till about 21:00.

I go home, have a quick shower and sit with the family for a couple of hours till its bed time.

Then I write an article each night for an online newspaper till its my bedtime :/


Thing is, with several issues we have at my morning job and with our track day been set for the Saturday that passed, I was overwhelmed with work.
Especially the past 2 weeks were a complete nightmare.
Expenses have hit the roof, spending money is none, and one has to do whatever possible to support a household. I'm sure you all understand

Still got loads to do and a few cars to finish up, but the pressure is not as hard as it was till yesterday

So, crying about over, I'll start catching up immediately

John, you live in the wrong country mate :p

Man you gave been a busy boy
And I agree I do love in the wrong country . Nothing beats skiing in warn crystal clear water
The second ski will be for sale so = some money for the 33

Welcome back Supe, wondered where you'd gone. All the old gang are here...like a reunion!

Bet you knackered chuck! ....

Good to have you back ... *fortunately I keep up with you on fb ... *

yeah, well facebook is a different story. I get about 100 notifications daily saying that one of my friends is taking the pi$$


In other news, last night, one of my friends took a picture of me holding an ax against a bmw while wearing a cowboy hat and another picture of my racing sprint in the track, and he sent an email to top gear !

nearly pissed myself laughing !

Love it

yeah , you would !

hahahahahaha


Although he wasnt very accurate. The engine is up front, its the drive thats in the rear :p
I'll be deducting points for that

Be interested to see if they reply? But I bet they get she'd loads of emails every day

I really dont think they would reply to such an email

... or should I say... I HOPE they wont reply to this email

What could they possibly reply ?
"Hi from Top Gear. Yes, we confirm that your friend looks like a proper idiot! Have fun with him !"

Yeah along these lines you never know, they mite want a joy out to Cyprus

Hi Chris - tbh I hadn't noticed that you had been away, but there's no way we could miss your return

Hope the work situation eases off a bit for you, even if you enjoy it, holding down that many jobs can't be a good idea in the long run...

Yeah I know... missing out on family time

Its April and May I need to worry about the most. After that, things will HOPEFULLY ease off.
Unless the house tax this year is more than I can take again so that will mean working my tail out again till I can cover that.

Bloody troika... Europe is THE worst thing thats ever happened to us

Seriously though all credit for doing whatever it takes to keep your head above water Chris - I'm sure it will all work out soon.
