So Makinen is asked to step outside in a pub where cat swinging is certainly not allowed.

Waving the Makinen goodbye

Ack. The Makinen was taken from me today. Sold to the Good Man Quentin of FullOnLoon fame. I trust the car will be looked after, I am also very happy to see the car go to someone I know. This way I get to see the car whenever I want!
Is it just me, or does [...]

Like I needed identity

I purchased a fantastic number plate (thanks to Adam) for the Makinen. The amount of hassle I had trying to get a number plate made defied belief though.

Enough alread – insurance woes

By BlowDog ⋅ June 28, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m sure everyone gets this feeling time to time, but I have just about had enough. Things going on at the moment. My insurers have shut shop (Independant) which means I have to look elsewhere. Over the course of 10 calls to varying brokers and underwriters, I have collated quotes between £5,500 and £16,000 (!!!!) [...]

Bedford Autodrome is one of the largest motoring entertainment sites in the UK. It has a very large track that is split into 4 mini circuits. Our track for the day was one of the nicest, easiest tracks I have been on. A 2 km straight provided high speed thrills [...]

Wedding cars courtesty of friends

By BlowDog ⋅ June 23, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

Mon sister was given away on this fine day to the wonderful Steven Young. Although the bastards tricked me into accepting a crippled camel, the 40 sacks of rice should help us peasants for a while.
I hate weddings, but this kept me thrilled right to the end, I was soarly dissapointed to see it finish [...]

Evil eye succeeds again

Whilst enjoying a leisurely drive down one of my favourite B roads today, I was pleasantly surprised to see a Metro with 6 occupants come tearing round a bend to face me (death) in the eyes…

Was honoured to grace the pages of Fast Car Magazine this month. Despite the embarrassment of reading said magazine on the London underground, there were one or two good pics in there.

Better than a Mak?

I currently have some very good offers for an Evo 7 from two very reliable sources. One is from Roger Clarke motorsport, whom I have purchased 3 cars from in the past. They have never failed to provide me with bona fide cars and have never ever let me down before. Having said that, Iain [...]

Belgium in the Makinen

By BlowDog ⋅ March 25, 2001 ⋅ Post a comment

Another big mistake in our choice of travelling times. A 2 hour sleep gave way to a 3 am start at south mims services. Met up with a number of folks along the way and made our way to belgium. The company was superb. Highlights of the day in no particular order :
A group of [...]
