No argument with number 3 on that list of six-stringers. It astounds me how many good B-sides and rarities Muse have, including a UK take on RatM featuring Mike Skinner of the Streets, which is not as bad as some would expect. Well, I like the Streets, so maybe I'm not the one to listen to!

You (especially if it gets me a passenger ride in the Bauble-laden VW Kaefer...)
Have you taken it on track yet? I haven't done a trackday for 9 months and I feel that I need to scratch that itch. It'd be great if we were at the same event...

Just remember if you do Oulton, let me know!

If I do one this summer it's going to be the Lausitzring or Nurburgring

Deffo, Blarno. I have unfinished business with Oulton because I didn't really gel with the circuit last time. I'll keep the PASM in Normal if I go there again.
Easytrack have a full day at Oulton on Weds 1st Oct for £169, or on Friday 21 Nov for £129.
Tempted?

I'd have seriously considered this one, but it clashes with MPH08, I think. Trouble with working abroad is I can only really do weekend ones.
