Last line in the song

I'm going down all the way
I'm on a video from hell:D

Put my name doon for next year:thumb

Great pics best thread I've seen in ages fantastic
 
It looked brilliant.

Think I might have to have a go next year.

No mention of the Snoopy/Mr Tickle face off ?

:augie
 
I felt sorry for the lad who came hutling round the top only to get it all wrong and got spat over the handle bars and landed on his back. The marshall helped him get his breath back and took his bike to the side - all of this about 2 feet before the finishing line:augie:augie


Times should be due out soon
