Karting

Methinks, if I had looked like that in my youth I would never have made it to sixty! Thank **** I was and always shall be a biker!

Edit: Which reminds me that when I used to take my crash hat off, a quick whizz with the ol' afro comb and it would look like I had put the lid back on!

When I was riding a motorcycle I was once rather unnerved when I walked into a pub and one of my mates informed me that I had "helmet hair".

 

[Fenderman]

Heh, heh. Afro's take a great deal of looking after. Fortunately there is a wonderful piece of kit called the afro comb. These implements do however have some draw backs ...

I have scar less than half an inch from my right temple. It is a stiletto scar. Do not throw chicken burgers into the faces of girls dwelling in the New Cross area of South London, no matter how much you think they might deserve it. Trying to get a taxi, topless, with a blood soaked shirt tied around your head is not easy. The driver who rescued me was sporting a shiney silver affro comb. Be warned... and now I have derailed my own thread. True story, though, and there is a message to be heeded. Be good to yourselves... aaaaaand one-another.

Looking back at the original post of this thread is pretty cool for me. A seed was planted and it is growing into a beautiful tree.

Looking back at the original post of this thread
Is pretty cool for me,
A seed was planted and it is growing
Into a beautiful tree,
It was born when my karting started,
So 'twas mostly about me,
But now Clip pals, afro headed,
Have injected some comedy,
There's more fun on Clip The Apex,
Than e'er was on the BBC,
So as far as I'm concerned,
That's off to me.

I'm pleased you've got addicted to Club 100! Sounds like you're pretty quick and making good progress too!

I've managed to do a few races in the BUKC over the past month or so. Took me a while to get up to speed but picked up a 10th (out of 34) in my last race which I was very happy with. Unfortunately that's it for me for the next 3 years at least.

Good old JV. He is a newfound hero of mine and has provided you with an outlet as he has me. I will be saddened if I don't meet you on the circuit at some point in the next three years. Something tells me I will.

 

[sushifiesta]

I won't be in the country so it's unlikely! I did want to do some Club 100 events last summer but I couldn't get a place.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Where are you going to be. Find a circuit and go and challenge. It's my new favourite travelling game

Switzerland...

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Oh! Isn't motor racing banned there? Or is that a silly rumour I heard?

 

[sushifiesta]

I think the ban was overturned within the past few years but I'm not really sure. I'll be close to the French border though.

Bring your boots!

Driver racing behind me got some awesome footage of my killer start. I start two rows ahead on the left. Flouro shoulders and white helmet. What a start! I picked up 6 places by the exit of turn three, hanging it around the outside of 1 and 2. Feel sorry for Mr. French, though.

Of course, his spin after a minute was someone else's fault, I loved his hand gestures!
