Some details in the initial post would be helpful...but probably a bit too organised for Ready.
"Whats up", "Piston Broke", "Yeah me too...hic"

No No No, I will be up in Scotland for the first 14 days of September, and that weekend is the Scottish National Rally which I do, and in the last 20+ years of going up there in the same weeks rarely have more than one or two days rain whilst enjoying the roads of the Highlands
For a challenging summer try the
Round Britain Rally.....

Dunno about sounding like one... its definitely looking better
Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs
All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!
Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick
