Spent a full weekend fully snowed in so have made the most of it with dinner and festive ales at the local and plenty of time near roaring fires. Thought I'd also add a little update too.

My media accreditation's through for Autosport International in January so once again I can look forward to walking several miles around the NEC, looking at the big, carbon-winged wonders which I would love to have a drive (hey, even a sit) in when the new season begins! Plans for next year are still unmade and a little too far off to ponder, but in the meantime, I'm whiling away the cold, short days with a bit of web design and possibly rather too much time perfecting my lines on Gran Turismo 5. I'm edging my way towards the Endurance series and in desparate need of a single-seater and something which is both historic and very fast, as my 70s Corvette isn't cutting it against the GT40. On the upside, my in-game 350Z is massively more powerful than my road-going equivalent but, fancy picture aside, not as easy to drive!
