Looking through one of those expensive overseas properties for sale mags in the Doctors waiting room yesterday i found an ad for a race circuit for sale in Aix on Provance down in hot & sunny southern france-land.

There wasn't a price but as it consisted of a tasty looking track - it looked a bit cadwell pk 'ish' plus a blooming big house so it wouldnt be cheap, but hey all the PH'ers could club together, (im up for it, more fun than a pension anyway!!) or some of you Lambo & Ferrari driving city fly boys could buy it with your next bonus from ya stocks & futures dodgy dealings and let us all have a go......

That's a really clever idea. Might be better to set the thing up as company/business though. Let the business run the house as a B&B/Hotel for track users. It could run the track for paying punters 5 days a week to fund it and two days a week the shareholders have free reign...or something. Wonder how much the price of a share would have to be buy and start up the business...?

Bit a a scary corner in the wet though - I friend of mined dinged his car. I'll find out the name.....

So, we'll need to make a few mods for some run-offs, then?

BUT HOW MUCH IS IT?

[comically (to me, anyway), I originally mis-typed that as "fun-offs"]

whatever

I can imaging the conversation now:

Hello, my name's PetrolTed. I represent a consortium of several hundred sportscar drivers who are looking to acquire their own track, for general hooning about and cheap french alcohol.

Really?

Yes. Honestly.

click-burrrrrr.

Does hooning appear in the Oxford English Dictionary?? Lovely word tho - describes it beautifully!

No. I believe though that the term 'hoon' is originally an Australian word...and meant the same thing as 'hooligan' in in Britain.

But "Hooning" is so wonderfully descrptive for "spirited driving"...
