This is the Mayor's birthday. I am so crapped out not being here to duke it out with yall.
In UK to have relations with the Queen. AKA. My wife and her kids and the real queen.

I asked the kids to go to restaurant called "Full Monty" simply because it cracks my ass. It took me 2 years to get a pix of that place.

Ask one of the Dans who I actually like what that means. ( I like 3 Dans.)

Maybe you can have a "Full Monty" event for the Mayor of Dougopolous?

Videos? Fabulous. Lets see what you've got. :pointlaugh:

You should leave us the keys to all of your cars. We'd take great care of them.

Hey Doug,

Hello from the UK :grin: I’m visiting “Mum” for the weekend in sunny Wales while on route to Germany. Actually weather is great- chilly but dry and sunny. Hopefully it holds out for your visit. Britain being Britain I always expect rain and anything better is a bonus!
I get to drive around on the wrong side of the road in a Nissan cash cow, quashkai or whatever the hell it’s called. According to Wikipedia it’s apparently the same as the US Rogue Sport (which I had also never heard of) except this one is better as it’s a six speed manual turbo diesel.
The less said about Full Monty the better :twisted:

See you when we both get back to the warm Florida winter weather!
Dan.

So everyone is coming to UK for the Mayor's BD on 18th? They race in the grass for an autocross in UK. Philip is all set for it. Young people really like the grass.

You hear that? Mayor's paying for all our air fair/rooms if we attend his BD. Count me in. I'll buy the first round of drinks as long as it's the cheapest and it's happy hour.

The "Full Monty" flights to Boston, Iceland and London Gatwick will mean you'll have to allow for extreme shrinkage and possible embarrassment? Kind of like a points event :lol:
I would never do this if airfare were reasonable other times of the year for their 2 weeks of summer. There are over 6000 Brits in Hernando right now to avoid their climate. If you go to Monday 19th dinner at Pub I might provide for at least a couple folks grog via Loren?

Soooooo...

We're actually having an autocross, and most of us won't be out of the country.

Don't forget to register! Tell your friends to register! Spread the word! 8-)

So did the Mirage move the shame line up or down from the Fastiva?

I think the FASTiva was flirting with top 20 or better. The Mirage is typically down around 30... but, I'm working on it.

Am I losing it - or is there no way to see the entry list for this event on the registration page? I can't see it anywhere.

Thanks, I was only kinda-loosing it! My tablet for some reason was taking forever to fully load the page and the only thing not showing while it finished loading was the attendee list heading and the link to open it. I double checked on my phone and yes -everything was there.
By the time I had looked at the phone and picked up the tablet again the page had fully loaded and the link was back.
Problem solved! Just slow technology on my side.
