Tornado Alley here I come!

June 19th, 2009

Those of you that know me are probably aware by now that I am off to the US of A next week (27th June), minus the wife and children (woo) for a week to go storm chasing! When I say storms I am talking about supercell type storms that produce severe thunderstorms and more importantly TORNADOS! Everyone has a list of things they want to do before they peg it and for quite some time – probably about the time the movie Twister came out, I have wanted to experience/see a tornado up close and personal (i.e. at least a quarter of a mile away).

A couple of months ago I found an online company selling spaces on tours set up specifically to chase storms. As luck would have it there was a single space left on a tour that fell into a small window I was free in June/July. Having gained permission from the wife, who laughed at me and said I was mad, I booked the space that was left and a return flight to match.

I am still alive!

June 5th, 2009

Just a quick post to say I am still alive! I have been so busy since the BTCC season kicked off and with work and holidays, I have struggled to find time to write. I have a few blog posts planned before the end of next week.

Sorry if this annoys those who have me loaded in to their RSS feedreaders, pointless post I know, but if I don’t write this I will NEVER get around to writing anything, you know how it is :)
