Pete, are you coming to Silverstone?
Ok guys, spoke with Levi & Clarky yesterday. I'm gonna be at the airport Thurs morning at Zeroark 30 waiting for a seat. Think positive thoughts, meditate, pray if you have to, I need a seat and one on the connecting flight to NYC. If it all goes to plan, British rain will be pouring down my cheeks like tears of joy at Silverstone.
This should be a record setting meet up:
Arrabbi
Chops
Willski
Ben
Tom
Austin
Shovelhead
Clarkjw
LeviGarret
GaytorDuc
& little o' me. (God willing)
Who'd I miss on that roll call?
I noticed all the names you've put are male, are you sexist or something?.......................................................JK
I thought GatorDuc & his misses was coming as well.
Well, my kart wont be ready in time for Donington Superkarts so i'm ....... I may try and make it to Silverstone on Friday if my Tech3 mate can get me tickets.....if not I wont be thereGutting especially as Jumkie owes me a beer.....

U two done talking from seperate rooms? Haha. Im at the gate waiting for a seat. I was all ready to leave in the morning, even scheduled a candle light dinner with the honey. Then i get a call from Levi. "yo, seats looking bad on ur connecting flight in Houston." ( ....... Texas!) "So if u want to go to UK, u'll need to be at airport by 8:00pm." I look at watch, ...., that gives me an hour to pack my .... and fight LA traffic!
I .... u not, i get packed up and as im going down stairs one of them breaks. I look at it fir a minute and think... cant leave it like that, i dont want somebodies broken neck on my conscience. So i put bags down, go to garage, look for tools. ....... cordless drill has no juice. Long story short, i find some nails and a hammer.
Problem #1 solved.
I'll know in 30 mins if i'll be on a plane to NYC.

It's on!! It looks official, tomorrow morning myself, the one and only Powerslide "ambassador of civility" Jumkie, and GatorDoc will be arriving on Continental flight 26 into BHX! I'm hoping we'll make it to the track in time for FP1...
Guys/gals.......all three of us will need tickets for the race for all three days...suggestions?? I'll check this again in the am (US time) and see what you've managed to suggest for us. Thanks in advance!

I'm in New York New Jersey .......!
Let the jetlag begin. Arrived 5 am, which is 1:00am my time. I left my phone on the plane and had to go back and retrieve it. I realized this after walking half a mile. I ran back, but the gate door was closed to the plane. I could see from the window the plane was still at the gate, so I tried opening the door. Sirens start blaring. ...., I'm thinking, I'm gonna get tackled by some over zealous TSA agent. So I sit there for 5 minutes waiting for somebody to come. .....nobody. .... it, I need my phone, so I open the door, the sirens still blaring. I get to the plane, the door is still open. I yell, hello, hello! Nothing. I look in, the cabin and door to the cockpit are wide open. HELLO! Nothing. I walk back toward the end of the cabin, and there on my seat is my phone. I get it, still thinking, at any moment I'm gonna be arrested and interrogated. I'm having visions of being in a dimly lit room with good cop bad cop asking me questions like, "are you sure you're of Mexican background, so your NOT Arab?" I walk past the open cockpit and out the gate. The siren still blaring. I keep walking, nothing. Holy ...., what's up with airport security?
Problem #2, solved.
I'm sitting here now waiting. The next leg of my journey starts at 7PM. Its now 6AM local time. I log on to see the forum has a new village ...... Come on guys, I can't leave the forum for a few minutes without you guys letting it all go to ....?
Adventure continues...

Mano e mano? Do you plan to beat me up? That sounds like fighting words.
Pete, did you get WhatsApp? See you on the other side of the pond. (I hope, I still have to get a seat from NYC to UK.)

Hey Jum - sorry if you thought I was out of town. I'd said for sure you have a place to stay here in NY. Didn't want to call back and eat up your phone battery, but you got my number, so let me know when you hook up with Levi and Gator and if you all are up to escape Newark (armpit of the universe) and come into the Big City I'll take you all out for some wicked Sri Lankan food, if you guys like spicy eats.
