Flatfire

Thursday night meet up at the lesuire centre 6 o'clock

Chris asked me why I called myself Flatfire. Was it something to do with a small disturbance in Dundee which resulted in a Flat fire.

Throughout my life I have always loved the thought of being an Underdog and beating the Champ. Everything that makes a good rugby player for Carnoustie. Well my life is full of David and Goliath thoughts.

Here is a clip of Flatfire the 1946 engined car that achieves a speed of over 300 mph over Boneville salt flats http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fKncTaC3QQE&feature=related.

My true love besides Heather, Morgan and Daniel is Hot Rods. Old Volkswagens are my favourite. You know the old laughable beetle that we all think is probably the slowest car on the planet. Well here for you benefit is several Cinderella stories. First the brothers from Paradise California. The Lauffers with their VW beetle engined dragster http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ8foSBDYeA . Then a slow beetle http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Arc_gFs_CQ4&feature=related

Finally me in the my madness http://www.pbase.com/slimboyfat/image/82715638. Me under control http://www.pbase.com/slimboyfat/image/96301948.
Is it a wonder why Jim Waugh doesn't want me to help behind the bar.

Anyway back to the chase, Tuesday night I started to think for £50 you can get a good beasting twice a week all year round. It really does represent good value for money, compared to Liz McColgans if your crazier than a coconut. If your suffering the credit crunch and cant sustain the £70 month at Bannantynes and want to look good naked join Carnoustie Rugby Club.
''Even Carnousties Dragons den are thinking about joining''. The Links Pub are more than welcome.

Thanks Billy ''the beasting'' Bowles. Dave Christie won't be back for a least two months it was that good.

The press up competition came up with some interesting results. Maybe I use my arms more than most. LOL Besides Lee Haxton ''Mr 54 press ups''. He looked up after that feat of excellence and his facial expression said to me ''I have more personal time with myself than others'' LOL
