"The Bahkett 6-Hour Handicap Relay"

At Sliverstone,"The Home of British Motoringsport "


Wow! what an adventure. I was asked by My friend "Billy from Barkston" if I could help out with the racing teams from the RAF who were doing a long race at Sliverstone. I was happy to help. Phil moaned about the long journey but Marge told him to shut up and read his comic. We stopped at Newark for a "BurgerFling", Phil says it's called that because there are some silly people who finish their meals in car parks and then "Fling" their rubbish out of the window!
Marge says they should take it home with them, Phil says he would like to shove it up their...


On our way At Last Are we there yet?



Phew, when we got to the M,One I felt quite weird. Everything seemed to be bendy and swirly. Marge says its probably because of the drink I had at BurgerFling. She says my Caffeine would have been full of Coke and that tends to effect Sheep! Phil says I should get my head down as there was miles to go, Phil was probably still a bit grumpy.


At long last we arrived and set up our camp. Actually all we had to do was blow up the bed because we were sleeping in the back of our "Cateringvan". I do hope Marge won't snore as much as she did in Scotrish!


It was blooming cold, I was glad I did not live with the other Sheep in the fields because they don't have quilts to keep them warm.


Marge gave me this emergency blanket to wrap myself in so I don't freeze. Phil said it was not fair as he did not get one. Marge told him to shut up and drink his Belhavens!


Well we all survived the night. There was lots of Converstation in the tent and all Phils Clothes were wet, "He did go on".
Marge took his pants to the toilets and dried them with the hand drying machines, that stopped Phil going on!


This is the best time of the day "Breakingfast time", after our tour of Scotrish I had developed a taste for a cooked breakfast so we used our "CateringVan" to good use and did a fry up. Marge let me stir the "Black Sheep Pudding" and the "Linda Mcarthey Meat substitute sausages". Mmmmm !


Well mine is ready, wonder what Phil and Marge are having he he he!


While Phil was washing the dishes, I had a quick drive of the "Cateringvan" when I took Marge to the toilet.
I do hope we won't spend all day waiting for her outside "Bog Blocks". (Phew, hope nobody heard me say that bad word)


Finally I got my chance to inspect the cars, this one is being driven by to "Jenson Lappin", apparently it's his Grandmothers car and she usually uses it to go to "Shamesburys" to do her shopping. Jenson did fit some new bits to make it OK to race but I do think his steering wheel is far too small. His poor Granny probably could not even get her fingers round that one !


I found my friend "Billy from Barkston", I think he was doing something sneaky to his car to make it go faster to beat the others, he did say he was only putting on a sticker though. Phil says he might be fitting a Turbot. Billy was worried that the other RAF team was better than his team and he needed to do something rather special to beat them in the race. Marge suggested he might need more than an "Old Fish" he he.


The man in Blue is "Brain" who runs the Enemy team. He is a really nice man and his lady "Jo" smiles all the time, just like me!
Brain had quite an advantage because he had all these military snippers who would be placed round the track to take pot shots at Billys team.


Car number 37B is owned by Razzle he is racing in Brains team so Billy cannot tell him any secrets, and definately won't let him sit in the "Fletcher Hairnet".
Phil recons "R Tux" the Transit would give Razzler a run for his money in a race he he he.


Sliverstone had this shop that was owned by "Grumpydad Jimmy", Phil said he did not know about this and wondered if it would be mentioned in any inheritance!
Granny Jean has not mentioned this to me so perhaps it's a secret. I bet it sells "New Zodland hats" though. ha ha ha.


I met these two lovely Army ladies who were selling wristbands for "Help For Heros" which is the charity that Brain's is organising to help our Injured Military.
Bab's thinks this is a great charity, and these young ladies are doing a great job.


Here we can see Brain being interviewed by the people from the Television, I do hope he does not mention his "Team of Snippers" because I don't think that is really allowed.


Back in "My Friend Billy's" garage I decided to try the "Fletcher Hairnet" for size, It was quite a big machine and it's really good that "My Friend Billy" built the car himself, he is a very clever chap. He told me he used to have a good sheep friend called "Maaary" but has lost touch with her, so he is pleased to have a new pal!


Billy has invited me to Bharkston where he usually races his Hairnet against people like "The Kid with no name" and young Aidan.
There are some others who are very quick but Billy says he is the best!


I have no idea how he reaches the pedals though, I had to sit on his helmet to see over the window.
I did not tell him that I let out a little trump in his lid though, the "Linda Mcarthey's" were quite spicey and I could not hold it in !!!
I hope it did not slow him down at all!
