There should be a few here old enough to remember Bloodrunners?

Picked up Andy Sparrows "Artobiography" yesterday, from the man himself, along with a T-shirt and a signed bit of original inkwork.

Loads on Amazon. The Zoffoli one doesn't look too shabby.
(Found a genuine antique globe while looking - no drinks capacity - £50k :) )

Well i'm hoping it's pleasing... it's bloody expensive

We do struggle though with keeping stuff cold at race meetings when we're there from Fri/Sun. Generally by Sunday we're winging it with cold stuff and hoping for the best :D

This seems to keep stuff chilly for days and days so should see us right.

We had a little 12v fridge that plugged into the cigarette lighter in the van - well actually I ran it from a spare leisure battery that is wired in so it charged as normal but could be isolated so it didn’t run the starter battery flat.

We always managed fine on that to keep milk and stuff cold for the weekend racing.
Snap (ish)- I've just bought this to replace my very battered and knackered 12V coolbox.
This one is 240v as well as 12v, so can plug it in at the track/ hotels that don't have a fridge too

Motorcycle Insurance.

The Bullet is insured for another year, £69.91.

The pleasing thing is I did it via Quidco Compare, so I'll get £23 cashback!

Yup, The BMW and GSXR are on a multi bike, soon as I add a third bike the price jumps up another £100.
