Received this in my email this morning – hopefully someone out there can help!

Kids in Cars Gets Hit By Some Nasty People !!!!

Its is with sad news to tell you that after all our hard work on the drive car for the kids(finally getting her finished) that while i was away on holiday somebody(s) decided that they wanted our new wheels and tyres even more that we did – not only did they take two sets of brand new rims and tyres but also smashed the window of the KIC pace car – and proceeded to make a hell of a mess and left with nothing – apart from the broken window and a huge mess for me to clean up.

The rims that were taken are very distinctive one – one set is a brand new set of 18′ DTM spoked rims – painted white – and the other set is again a one of a kind FPV rims power coated white – ps these have Michelin slicks on them(GT Porsche tyres on them) – there are some very special marks on both sets that only a couple of KIC members know about…

If you could all please keep your eyes peeled for them – they will stick out in the crowd.
We cant offer a reward – but if anyone can point us in the right direction – then we can offer a hot lap or to in her – or if the person(s) who took these could also return them – no question asked.
We all have worked dam hard for this for the kids and this theft has left a huge sour taste in all our mouths !!!!

Thank you all for your support

Kind regards the KIC crew.

Here are some images for you all to look at too:

it’s hard to find good service these days – UPDATED!

At some stage in May, I noticed that the side beam on our bed has cracked. It’s a failure in the wood. It cracked up through the middle of the knot, reached the lamination joint, spread along the joint and started another little crack further along.

I rang the retailer on the Tuesday 1st June this month letting them know that there is a fault in the wood, and the beam has cracked, causing the bed to squeak TERRIBLY to the point where I dread rolling over, because it will squeak from the movement generated by this crack. They doubted it was a fault with the wood and the lady in the service department told me I must have broken it for it to have cracked. I offered up a photograph, which they accepted by email.

the volunteers burden

Since December 2002, I have volunteered my time to help a sporting organisation for little or no thanks for my time or effort. Sometimes this costs me a lot of money, which I have gladly forked out as until recently, I have enjoyed giving my time to this organisation. But lately, I’ve got a sour taste in my mouth.

It’s no longer fun for me. I’m over giving my time up and missing out on other things in life to help this sport. I’m no longer blind to the politics that surround it. The worst bit for me is that feeling that we absolutely have to turn up, or find an excuse to get out of going. When did it get like this? When did being a volunteer become such a burden? Read More…
