Customers to bring me down to earth
« on: February 05, 2009, 09:04:06 PM »
Had 2 enquiries for bookings this week.
First one is for two kids aged 11 & 14 whose dad they lost in a motorbike accident in December.
This might just help take their minds off their tragic loss for a while, and give them something to look forward to, and the second one is from an employee at Cheshire C.C. I.T dept, who has an 18 yr. old work colleauge who has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has but just weeks to live apparently.
Oulton Park have also very kindly donated a free drive of a Ferrari and the chance to drive a rally car at the off road section they have a week on Saturday.
I might just go down and help support his friends family and workmates. It might just do me some good.

I'm feeling somewhat humbled presently, but will do my utmost to give them a really good time.

What the hell have I got to moan about ey? ::)
Puts lifes troubles into context somehow ey?

Indeed it does G. If you get to do it, walk the track and have a good day, spare a thought to the old buggers who set it up in the first place, OP that is, one of whom was my old man - RIP.

You're old dad helped build the place then? He probably wouldn't recognise it now if he was still around, but on saying that, the cofiguration is probably much the same.
Bit too much of a quick circuit for my little car unfortunately, but I have had several fun track days there all the same. ;D

Cazzy R. Mmmmm, heavenly.  cloud9:
