Stop Me And Buy One
Is there any truth in the rumour that an Ice Cream Van took a wrong turning on Sunday and ended up on the track at Post 38 at Donington?

Yes, even after the rescue unit gave him instructions at the Dunlop bridge.

The batteries on my scanner were running low, and I couldn't make out whether Di had asked for his name and company or for two 99's, a strawberry Mivvi and a bubble-gum flavoured screwball!

It's never happened at Mondello. I think I shall have to write a searing editorial in the next MP demanding to know why marshals in the UK get ice cream delivered to their posts and we don't! It's an OUTRAGE!
I DEMAND ICE CREAM! There IS this white van that drives round the circuit with blue lights on the top which pretends to take your order. You ask them for a 99 with 2 flakes - and they hold up 2 fingers to you - which I assume means they're confirming the "2 flake" order. But then they drive off *sigh* Last edited by EvilPumpkin; 18 Mar 2003 at 09:26. |

This Ice Cream van wasn't driven by someone called Ernie was it?

If you are referring to the AMOC meeting at Loton Park then there two points to note: 1. please ensure that the Icecream Man is there at the start of lunchbreak 2. a 1.7 non-turbo diesel hardly equates with speed |

Surely if it's a speed event, they should be delivering Speed? My badge even says 'Experienced Speed' on it, but I deny the allegation entirely. Anyway, we're better organised than that, we always send the Doctor to fetch bacon butties. If he's anything of a medic, he'll pick the lowest cholesterol ones.

there was this Chief Marshal........ who stood down and became a Course Controller.. And so our story starts....... on a very hot day at loton Park. (just outside Shrewsbury, see Loton ) Mrs CrazyStu Click Here and Soon-to-be-Rescue One Rescue? were on duty at Post 7 at Loton Park. After a particularly heavy session of pushing cars to send them down on a batch change, the aforementioned pair returned to post, sweating profusely, and looking forward to a couple of minutes respite before the arrival of the next batch of cars. After recovering her breath, MrsC glanced over to the spectators area, shaded by the large trees, only to see.... Mr C sitting on one of the benches. This in it's self was not a problem but...... remembering the type of day this was, to see him there in just a pair of shorts and eating an ice-cream, in plain view, was just too much!!!! Needless to say, Soon-to-be-Rescue's body actions, when he realised the situation, transferred words that cannot be reprinted here!!!!! To say that I have not been allowed to forget that day would be an understatement!!!! But then............ why would I want to?????? |
