I've seen the pic of Go Ge Me on the rock before, didn't know about the incident though.

In the Benihana Grand Prix the commentator said "he's taking the turn slow so he doesn't break his outdrive" was that quite common?

Thanks for putting the vids up, a good watch

Thanks Jon for cracking on with the films.Can you give me an update re the pdf archive.Do you want test pdf`s to see if it works?
I`m pressing on with them having had a week where a virus blocked me Internet,and did not want to use the computer until sorted.

Mr.Shead took me down to Fairey`s in that Boxer,and we hit the Hamble Halt railway bridge at some stupid speed and must have gone christ knows how many yards before we landed.Those were the days.

Am stuck here in Lisbon for the next 7 days (working, well, sort of), so brought "the tape stock' with me, and will use the time to capture, encode and upload hopefully all remaining media. Certainly the majority anyways.

On my return I'll address the pdf thing, and yes, a few test files would be helpful.

Well the update is, the Lisbon job has just been canned, because the airport has been closed due to ash clouds...... So I'm coming home tomorrow now! Still, it's a 1200 mile drive, so wont be back till end of the week.

Typical.
