Thats a good pun if i say so myself!
Any how, for reasons partially within my control (i.e. driving around being a hero on the brakes and stuff), my car hasnt passed its recent MOT and i have no way of getting to races for the next few weeks, until its fixed (which is likely to be at least 2 more weeks, maybe more!).
Today i managed to finally persuade my dad to take me instead, but im stuck for next Sunday. Dont want to miss it really, but have no way to get to Rockingham at all.
Some suggested trains, but do you know what they are like on Sundays. I'd need to leave at around 6, get a lift to the train station, get a train (or more likely a bus replacement) to Lichfield TV, then to Tamworth i think and then to Kettering, and all back again in the evening. Cant afford that.
Coach's, thats equally non existent, and im not confident i can persuade my dad to take me again.
So, im asking for help. Anyone coming from the North mind picking me up. Im in a little village called Stonnall, about half way between Walsall (crap) and Lichfield (nice :) ). For those coming down the M1, it'd be something like a 30 mile detour along the A38.
I dont mind paying some of the petrol money, and might even fund a coffee at the track.
Help me, please :( :)
Oh, also, a dilemma with season tickets. Im not sure at the minute whether il be in the UK from about the 2nd week of July. Theres a possibility il be off to Australia for a year with uni which means no SCSA for me, but that means il be wasting a lot of money if i buy a season ticket. However its not guaranteed. If i dont buy a season ticket and then dont end up going, il be £15 or so out of pocket. So what should i do?!?!
