…as and when…

My athlete is in serious need of physiotherapy… QWOP.

Following this post I am happy to report that the windows were fitted over yesterday and today and – wow – quite a difference they make, too. Gone are the draughts and rattling panes of glass and instead a lovely warmth that can’t escape (which is great as winter draws in).
I am currently sat typing [...]

At last, I’ve just about caught up on all the posts from the previous months that kind of ‘got left behind’ as it were. All that remains outstanding now is for me to put on my geeky facade (which is difficult when I’m’ so inherently uber-cool) and sum up how the Rebel Motorsport Club website [...]

September 2008 saw us visiting the first ever Carmarthenshire Modifed Car Show at Pembrey Circuit – organised and run by G-Tec Tuning. They invited us along to set up a Club stand so we thought, “why the heck not?”
We weren’t sure what to expect and, in all truth, this sort of event isn’t the type [...]

Oh boy, what horrendous weather we are having at the moment. (All I seem to do is talk about the weather these days…) I took the drive here (Portsmouth) yesterday and stayed overnight in a hotel. It was one of the worst drives I’ve had to take. Visibility was practically down to zero and the [...]

I had never been to Castle Combe’s Rally Day before (although Lynda had been a few times and spoke very highly of the event) so I was really looking forward to going along and soaking up the atmosphere. As always it was another early start but that didn’t matter as I was getting used to [...]

Back in August I had my 25th *cough* birthday
Despite it being my birthday it was once again an early start (as are 99.9% of our drives) and there was no lie in for me. (Sympathy if you please…) As always the weather was a concern. It had been pitiful for most of [...]

Slowly I’m getting through the backlog of ’stuff’ so please continue to bear with me…
It was yet another cold and wet start to the day (annoying considering it was July) and more weather sickness kept many a person away (and, again, I can’t say I blame them!) Unperturbed we met up with Ann [...]

Time for a change of pace and a chance to show our appreciation of the ‘good old days’ – The Cardiff Vintage and Classic Car Show from earlier in the year…
A small group of us got together and made our way into Cardiff Castle grounds to give our friend, Phil, a bit of support at [...]

May 2008 saw us taking another drive through some beautiful areas of South Wales. But, sadly, we couldn’t have picked a worse day for weather!
Initially we had many, many Club members who expressed an interest in coming along and we were expecting quite a large crowd on the day. Yet due to the aforementioned poor [...]

Yes, still catching up on events from earlier in the year. Please bear with me…
Back in May this year we attended one of the most popular Japanese performance car events of the year, Japfest. Although a large proportion of our members do own Japanese performance cars we didn’t actually make our presence known [...]

Woohoo! Christmas did indeed arrive early for me today.
Lyn and I arose early this morning as we had previously decided that today would be the day that we finished/completed our Christmas shopping. (Which I’m glad to report we pretty much did!) Obviously I can’t say much more here as prying eyes may then [...]
