Sitting in the waiting area @ McCarran in Vegas. I'm that much closer to the UK, but won't make it all the way there this time. Looks like I'm to have internet access in VA & at the Dragon, so I'll stay in touch.

See you soon.

Have fun Jimbo

Thanks, Chris. I'm in Virginia, sitting on my friends' front porch. Nice rocing chair, trees all around, birds chirping & wind chime gentling sounding....

Can I please, please hear the sound of a supercharger winding up.

Looks like I'll have internet access for most of the trip, so I will be checking in.

BBQ speccin' at the moment. Still fancy a Weber Q, mostly because of the compact size & being able to store it away easily. Best price i can find online for the Q200 is £179 with the portable trolley

minicabrio · Apr 28th, 2008, 10:42 AM

Webers are excellent Pat - we've got two, one very old one that must be nigh on 15 years old, and one that's at least 7-8 years old. They're always left outside, never covered, but they just last forever!

Very easy to cook on too

Bought myself last week a Bose Soundock for the Ipod, not the new portable model, but the single room one. Great piece of kit, sound is excellent, and it is so easy to use! Even mother can use it!

I'd recommend it

How do you get the intermittent?! I had a Cooper as a courtesy car last week and couldn't find it for the life of me! I liked the car but this was driving me nuts!!

The end of the wiper stalk is a push button for intermittent.
