You're not going to believe this ...........
On my recent trip to New Zealand and Australia I asked my wonderful girlfriend to marry me and she said yes! Actually I can't believe that I've got caught, I thought I'd got away with it!

Here's a photo the morning after on Doubtful Sound - I'll spare you all the details but it was romantic!

Congratulations to you, Cookee, and commiserations to Mandy. Only joking - I hope you'll both be very happy.

Have you set a date yet? Richard and I have been engaged for nearly 19 years now! I'm still hedging my bets in case someone better comes along.

It seems that the counselling didn't work .............. still engaged!

We haven't done 93 .......... yet! We did manage 92+ on one of the runs, but it has to be a two way average to count as an official record - I do have a plan to go faster this November - did you know there are only 3 people in the world that have silver and gold stars? They are given to people who break records at under and over 100mph
