    Nice flow chart.

    No? - keep your torso, crotch, and ass covered.

    :? Live and let live mate. Not everyone's got a garden. I'm sure you can find a pub without naked torsos if you have a problem with them.

    Yeah, I don't have a garden. Ergo - I don't go topless in the sun that much.

    The rest of Europe seems to manage fine.

    Might try to come along at some point, which series are you in? Work is sponsoring the HRDC this year.

    I'm racing in the newly-formed Alfa Romeo Owners Club series (Classics) which is running as part of this lot

    It's a departure from the usual SMRC stuff at Knockhill that I've done the last 3 years. Want a change of circuit.

    The AROC racing fraternity seemed to be well established when I was a member back in ~1998. In fact my 2.0 GTV Lusso (ported/skimmed and gas flowed up to around 200BHP) went to an AROC member as he wanted to race it in the AROC series......

    The Jag owners club racing is quite immense, seeing cruise liners racing and rolling about on a track is quite good fun!

    let us know the Thruxton date, I may make the trek over with t'fambly to cheer you on.

    Do you live in Hanworth? Go to a park if you want to sunbathe and don't have a garden. I used to work in a pub that opened out onto a common, blokes would often sit outside with their shirts off. That's fine. But if you expect to walk ino the pub and be served there is a simple tule, no shirt no service.

    That's pretty much my view as well. Problem is that Rick only allows it if you're near a beach or swimming pool. Seems a bit restrictive to me.

    Yup - then there was a big bust-up and it became ARCA (Alfa Romeo Championship Assoc - I think) and split off from AROC. The ARCA races I've seen though were demolition derbys

    18th & 19th Aug for Thruxton. Be great to see you there

    I'm just posting in the hope of flipping this thread onto a 3rd page so I don't have to look at KB's dream date again.

    Have you reported it to the relevant authorities?
