Put me down as a definate...

Reasons for me not to go next year.


my trip to dealer recently = u need to replace

break pads , possibly warped a disc too
all four tires....


There are major hidden costs in attending endurance runs! Not just on your wallet whilst away, but when you return....

You might have noticed that some muppet has renamed the run for 2005

I should point out that this is not a democracy so if you don't like, lump it

So it's got nothing whatsoever to do with your driving technique, then?

So, Mr Wigley, sir, have you got a design for the BoB Run logo yet?

What are you trying to say? I thought I'm always Macho (except when jane tells me to behave)

No logo yet and no guarantee I won't change my mind another 15 times before next September I am working on a website at the moment that will have a write up of this years trip and exciting news about next years trip. The top secret domain name is regstered so watch this space....

G'day Stuart, G'day all,

Yeah, you can put me down as a probably-most-likely...it'll be good to catch up with you blokes again.

Not sure about the whole 14 days (work and wife make this somewhat difficult), but I'll try to stick with the group a bit longer than last time. We'll see next year...

Whenever I see my mate (Stelvio navigator) we still talk about the trip as being the funnest couple of days we've ever had...Roll on 2005 and the BoB!
