With the need to walk courses..I am heading to Huntingdon with Blazon, Commodore Barry, Bandon Roc and Balleticon. Mrs B is heading to Worcester to saddle Kayf Storm and Agent Memphis while Mat is heading and driving the horsebox to Wincanton where Abbreviate runs..

Renault and Ford have joined forces to create the perfect small car for women.

Mixing the Renault ‘Clio’ and the Ford ‘Taurus’ they have designed the ‘Clitaurus’.

It comes in pink, and the average male car thief won’t be able to find it – let alone turn it on – even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it.

Some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can’t get it to turn over.

New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain, and horribly expensive to get rid of.

Used models may initially appear to have Kerb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the curb weight typically increases with age.

Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the boot increases, but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger.

This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners find it is best to lease one, and replace when it becomes troublesome.

Finally, a very Happy Birthday to Lesley Field (part owner of Bandon Roc), I hope she has a reason to celebrate later on today!
