Summer Break Blues
I’ve got all the addicts symptoms, the hands are twitching, the muscles shaking and I’m desparate for my fix. Yep the six week Formula Vee summer break is hitting me hard, heck I was even watching Ford Fiesta racing from Lydden at 6.30am thisĀ morningĀ on Motors TV to see me through the day at work.
Following the intensive week on, week off calendar, having weekends free is feeling a little strange, I’ve actually had to talk to people about something other than how to set up a Formula Vee for Cadwell Park. Obviously I made the mistake on my first weekend off, of talking to someone about how to set up a Formula Vee for Cadwell Park, but quickly realised that discussing the merits, or lack of, of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was more socially acceptable. I’ve suddenly discovered I have a social life beyond seeing the Clerk of the Course on a fortnightly basis.
Luckily the end is in sight, Silverstone is only two and a half weeks away and I can’t wait. I’m the first to admit that by the time Pembrey rolled around I was desparate for a break from racing, but now I’m chomping at the bit to get going again. Furthermore, for the first time this year I feel energised by F1 following the excellent Hungarian Grand Prix and Jenson Button’s win. Monday morning was the first time this year I’ve been able to truly justify to my colleagues that, yes, F1 is damn exciting.
And finally how do I know that it is the F.Vee summer break? Because where I live in London it hasn’t properly rained in weeks, I’m sure that by the time Silverstone rolls around (and isn’t having a bbq truly tempting fate?) the weather will have broken and it will be wet, windy and cold - proper Vee weather
I’m so jealous - it’s been 3 years since I had to give up my racing due to losing my job - I miss it like mad!!:sad:

Couple of weeks ago my mom bought this great restyled 2009 Ford Fiesta with 1.8 engine. Dudes this is just a #1. This is a small car with agressive character. This car will perfectly fit almost anyone - your friend or husband and i am sure you too. I strongly recommend you to run to your most near car seller and take if for a test-drive. I swear you will not regret. Be sure to take your girlfriend or other guy so you both can enjoy this car. BTW does anyone know how much will it cost for Canada customers?
