NEW Indy 500 Pics from Gareth

Just scanned some of Gareth's pics from Indy 500 (business trip) Included a few mono manipulations of my own to add to the reportage. Particularly like the Dan Wheldon at speed pic Gareth took, it would make a great print.

A note from the publisher...

If you mail me any notes from recent or forthcoming trips I'll post them in the weblog - or indeed post me prints from visits. I may yet bring out the creative writer in all the BBoys. Send to scoulter@tiscali.co.uk
Brought to mind the lyric..." Dear sir or madam will you read my book,it took me years to write..." ttfn

You can't tell a book....

The banners above show links to other products and services that ( Google) feel would be of interest to the blogger. I am pleased to see that it has just presented links to Aston Martin Vanquish and Monaco. The Bentley Boys blog must look well heeled - in html code at least! Their software obviously doesn't check into the credit card details that must be encoded somewhere in this puter as it would more likely throw up Morris Minor and Margate..but at least it's a change to viagra advertising !

It must be the weather....

Gareth has reminded me of the full quote from The Italian Job - When the Noel Coward character pays a visit to the Governor - as played by John Le Mesurier...I quote "Last night Mr Governor, my toilet was broken in to!". Then he went on to say ".. this is symptomatic of the slipshod unimaginative management that is driving this country into the gutter!"
Any other quotes from films or top tens (like in High Fidelity) are welcome :)
Hopefully I have attended to the offending typos ;)tata.
