31:12:02 More photos up..
Jemmy has snapped tendons not bones (which I think is worse) more photos up now well over 140 so far and another 40 to go yet.. Don't forget that tomorrow the NEW LOOK will occur, bear with me if you get some dodgey responses through the day, all should be ship shaped and bristol fashion by bedtime, assuming I'm sober!
30:12:02 Breaking news!
At least three drivers have 'probably' broken their hands in the awesome carnage that was our Christmas meeting. #44 Ste 'madman' Smith, #449 Paul 'The Duck' Gore & #27 Jemmy 'Whiplash' Stanton.. You know of anymore injuries post them in the guestbook, talking of which.. Nick ain't every male over the age of 12 what you described 'star' as! Or is it just me :)
Loads more photos scanned and online NOW and almost 100 more to go, don't forget that the site will have a new look withing 48 hours! Gosh its all going on :)
29:12:02 Goodness that was good!
What a splended day today was. Warton with 30 bangers in heat 2. Wrecking like the old days and my new tiny digicam, first photos online NOW! (click PHOTOS above) (its only 8:20PM) I have 5 rolls of film and a report to sort out too :)
Also the SNORK AWARDS 2002 are to be put back a week, as I need to add some nominations from todays excellent meeting, with great tin & fantastic hits, it seems daft not too :)
26:12:02 Goodness I'm busy..
Sorting out the nominations for the SnOrK Awards 2002 & finalising a new look for this site for January and hearing rumors about the tin thats going to Warton on Sunday, a hearse and a Roller to name but two, not forgetting whatever Singy will bring, I know that there WILL be a shed full of bangers, Unlimited Mini drivers #44 Ste Smith & #62 David Eccles, plus Dave's dad & mate ALL have bangers, TMK will be there, Team V and DAHMHaters, Steeles, Invaders and Strinkbridge are all going, or at least thats what I have heard.. Its looking like its going to be a fine meeting :)
23:12:02 Civil War 4 Update
I now have the FULL list of BOTH teams for the upcoming Civil War 4, quite a few Warton regulars for the Northern army, which is nice to see :)
18:12:02 Things are getting exciting..
Not only is the WARTON Christmas meeting looming up, but so is the Forth Civil War at Hednesford, I expect many Warton Banger drivers will be there inc. The Steele Brothers and some Invaders, but also folks like #143 Sam Begley...
11:12:02 Things are going odd again..
Monday, I'm up a ladder, not very high up, and dropped a glove, I looked down and there it was... A few moments later I came down and it had gone.. as in completly gone not on the drive, in the garden or on the street! Then yesterday I knocked at a door, a lad answered in his boxers looking rather hot & sweaty, he let me in the house and there was his girlfriend, on the floor wrapped in a quilt pretending to be asleep! I'm sure they had been playing twister before I arrived :)
08:12:02 Bet you kan't wait...
Only a couple more weeks and the things dreams are made of will occur:) No NOT Christmas! Warton racing on the 29th December. Its gonna be a great meeting... well I think it will be fun anyhow, even if there arn't many Ministox there :(
05:12:02 #811 I know where you live :)
Well maybe just your ministox, I noticed his car on a trailer outside a house/ converted barn/farm :) I wonder how many Ministox are planning on turning up on the 29th.
Don't forget the DAILY update on the wallpaper section (I did :()
01:12:02 Warton Advent Wallpaper
I have decided to do an Advent Wallpaper after all :) EVERY DAY a new image will be added to the wallpaper.. Will you be one of them... and what will be the Christmas Day image be ... (snigger snigger snigger)
28:11:02 Warton in a Webring ?
Well it might get more people interested in visiting out track :) Ita a Lancshire webring to kick off with, I will see how it goes for a while :)

23:11:02 TMK @ Warton
Despite rumours, which I have heard, TMK WILL be racing this Christmas Meeting. Remember that they are also sponsoring the meeting.
22:11:02 Champions of Champions
Tonight is a big night at Birmingham Wheels, tis the night of Champions.. Many Warton drivers are there, inc TMK, in force, and Invaders, they are in the support races along with The Steeles & Ric Ball.. I can't wait to here what went on :) News will go up as I get it :)
19:11:02 Take that as no gossip then :)
Over the next few days I will set up the catagories for 'The SnOrK Awards 2002', you know the stuff, best team, car , Driver etc etc.. But also with a few different catagories too :) Nominations can then be made and a shortlist of three per catagory tha then goes out to an open vote... Sounds simple, so watch this space :)
15:11:02 So any goss ?? + I'm confused!..
Any news, gossip from the presentation ?? I did not go, not invited and not a member :(
Also on the M62, on the way home, I noticed that the signs said 'FIREFIGHTERS STRIKE.. TAKE EXTRA CARE'.. What does that mean, are there people who don't drive with care as 'the firefighters will get me out of a wreck if I crash ??!!!' Its insaine!
11:11:02 I have the results..
but only the top places, Gold roofs, and I was right with my choices.
I have also got Grand Theft Auto Vice City for my birthday, see what I tnink so far in the Games section.. and thats about it :)
06:11:02 Still waitin..
Still waiting for the season end points, so I guessed the champions for the title page. If anyone knows them, will you let me know, ta, I think I must have upset someone.. again..
05:11:02 Explosive!
Hmm odd day today, nearly got fired, for going on a roof without a hat or harness on, me!! Mr scared of heights!.. Still poo 'appens. Have a fun & safe night tonight, what is you Guy called again?? Just asking :)
02:11:02 NEW Wallpaper
tis true, the wallpaper is up for this month.. I am toying with the idea of doing a 'Advent' wallpaper for December (updated everyday with a small picci).. Should I bother ?? Well let me know. Ta!
31:10:02 Happy Halloween
.and what a day it was!!! I saw a nasty crash of an artic lorry, it had rolled on its side on a roundabout. I also got flashed by a housewife, she had a nighty on and dressing gown, she bent down and when she stood up, she was winking at me & my mate.. I didnt have the heart to tell her.. well would you :) LOL Then there was the house with no one in, but two cars on the drive and loads of mail behind the door.. I have been busy working on the site too, I have upgraded the games review section, and am working on a new look for next year for the site. I have asked for, but not recieved yet, the points from the end of the season, I think I know who the champions are, but then again ? Oh and I have a new game for my Playstation 2, its BURNOUT 2, see my thoughts later tonight :)
24:10:02 New(s) section..
Select the link above, any news or gossip welcomed (are you building a new car for next season or stuff the rest should know about) Note that the reports are ALL still up and can be accessed via the right hand margin :)
23:10:02 Harty harr harr :)
work is getting interesting now.. I now go on peoples roofs daily, and to think I hated heights two years ago. still yer gotta laff :)
No report for last Sunday as I was not there, but good feedback, it seems that Mr Michael '181' Creighton and Mrs Ann '100' Potts, did well in the supers and, though I have not heard, I guess Ste Smith had a fun day in the Unlimited Minis.. Not much from the bangers and other classes, but still it seems you had fun :)
20:10:02 I just got back from work!!
Ands its 10PM!!! I am not happy, so what the hell went on at Warton today, I heard that a Tranny was exploded and I wondered if anything else had 'exploded'..
19:10:02 I HAVE to work this Sunday
And that has really peeed me off! Let me know what happens as soon a poss. Ta!
17:10:02 Points table updated
Thanks to Val for sending me the latest points table today, is getting close at a few places in the table.. Its all to race for :)
16:10:02 Part 2...
comments are up on the photos from 'that' meeting...
16:10:02 Report up in full now..
As I pointed out I can only report what I see & hear from the Club. I have heard nothing from the Club regarding events from last meeting, but would imagine Micks comments will be in the progam.
Its almost time for the SnOrK Awards 2002, a bit of fun where we decide the winners of various catagories from this season, more details after the next meeting. There may well be some new catagories this time, I'm working on it right now. :)
If I can get the day off this Sunday, I will need another lift, as my car is still knackered, so anyhelp would be great :)
10:10:02 All photos up from Sunday...
Plenty of track action... Inc jay doing a Thunderbird 1 impression and Chris doing a hedgehog impression, cept he didn't roll up in a ball, but legged it, leaving a brown streak in his wake!
07:10:02 Morning after the night before..
..only its 10PM and I just got back from work. ALL the photos are back and there are a few corkers... A good few will be up by midnight.
The report will follow, when I have figured out how to word it...
06:10:02 What a day that was!!
First off I would like wish a speedy recovery to Stock Car Driver, Ian makim, who had to be cut out of his car after a big pile up on the pit corner. The car this time, did not look to badly damaged, until the roof was cut off, but Ian had been bashed badly on his back. Rick Ball found himself in the middle of trouble after the DD, and the wrath of many a person. All this on a day when I had a lift and saw Warton through the eyes of TMK and their mates.. The report will go up fairly soon.. Though maybe not tonight. If you have any thoughts or views on todays events, feel free to air them in the guestbook or forum. I am in the chat room too for a while. Till around 11PM.
Also apologise to anyone who had the misfortune to see me with no shirt.. It was a very hot day and I felt the heat.. more so cause I was hung over...
04:10:02 Super
I have got a lift for tomorrow.. Yipee & that stuff. But the guy who is taking me has had a MASSIVE sound system installed into his boot! So I may be deaf when I get to the track.
02:10:02 Damn!
My car is knackered! The ratitator is busted... So I am not sure if I can get to Warton on Sunday, unless I can cadge a lift..
01:10:02 Back to the gym..
First time since May, if you exclude a 1 off visit in June. And I have lost 5Kgs!!! Must be cause I was still paying the fees, and have had no money for food! :)
30:09:02 New wallpaper
A day early too :) Check it out... ERM OK then bye.
29:09:02 OK so the report is now finished & a shit story!!
The least biased report wot I have writ, is now online, I thought I had already put it up, thanks to NITPICKER for nitpicking it out for me...:)
This new job involves me going into peoples houses around Blackburn, Burnley, Rottenstawl and Colne, yesterday I needed a dump badly at a house, big posh place, I try to avoid asking to use the loo for a number two, but this was an emergency! I filled to loo and flushed... I was horrified to find a floater! It took two more flushes to get rid of it! There was no toilet brush or anything help me out... I nearly shit meself with shame, but I already had done..
25:09:02 All photos from Sunday are up now..
143 in total, Sam Begleys number if I am not mistaken. I may well get some biased comments on them later in the week :) Make a change, me being biased :) :) I am recieving plenty of negative e-mails regarding the last meeting and the poor turn out of bangers. As I pointed out, the meeting clashed with other tracks meetings, inc Buxton, and when that happens numbers are bound to suffer. That said I thought the action we saw was great and I have no complaints, all the drivers who raced for me, whom I spoke too, said they had a good time and ain't that the point ??
If you did drive on one of my teams, I have all the photos ready to give you at the next meeting , thanks again for your help & support :)
23:09:02 Photos back..
Going up as I scan them, in about 20 at a time slots :) They ain't that bad :) 4 X 36 photos, not all will be up tonight, but rest will be up tomorrow.
22:09:02 Well that were a laff..
What a great laff I had today, watching my 11 cars do varingly well. Thanks to everyone involved in all three teams, from drivers to 'pit crew' and sign writers (Except for Mad Marks feeble attempt :)). I will have the report up soon and the guestbook and chatroom are open for your feedback. Andrew & Lee want to know who the person is who has been leaving messages for them in the guestbook.. they think some sexy fox of a girl, I think a fat pot bellied 40 year old Aisan guy.. LOL
Photos will be up TOMMORROW
20:09:02 Horrah Back Online...at last!
It seems if you don't give Telewest money, they cut off your phone ! Its all very strange. Photos from the Robin meeting are ALL now up as are the photos from the Championship Meeting :) The Report is up too... Yet again I have not a day off since the last meeting and I have worked on average 13 hours a day.. therefore I is knacked.. and have not had time to complete the orders that you have, ERM, ordered... I still have not had time to put comments on the photos either... :(
18:09:02 I'm a bird magnet... :)
Unfortunatly its the flying kind.. Coming home from work the other night I noticed a woodpidgeon flying accross the M6 toward my side.. I was doing 70 and thought 'That birds too low'.. THUD. We made contact.. I did well not to swerve or brake, I was in the middle lane with cars either side.. I looked in the mirror to see a mass of feathers behind me, with other cars ploughing through them.. Later, near home, I stopped to check the damage. One decapitated bird wedged under the ladder and roof rack, its stomach contents sprayed over the ladders and roof (Red berries). A red stripe of blood from its neck down the side of my van.. I knocked it to the ground, using a stick, then noticed its head was stuck on some black tape right in the middle of the roofrack. I left it there it had gone by morning... The next day, driving home on the M6... A woodpidgeon flys from one side of the motorway to my side. I was doing 70 in the middle lane .. I think... Am I having a 'Groundhog Day'.. Nope, it missed me by about 3 foot!
04:09:02 I think I like my new job now :)
After a shakey start that is.. back before 6 tonight! So then I may get some more, or even ALL, of the photos from the Robin meeting up later tonight.. Unless I fall asleep :)
01:09:02 Wallpaper alert ...
New wallpaper up, includes a few 'never before seen images' from the Robin Meeting :) I still have around 100 photos to go up, but just ain't got the time... sorry.. they will go up before too long...
30:08:02 Photos going up slowly :(
Ths new job has long hours, 7:30AM-10:40PM yesterday and finishing at 8PM tonight, I is jiggered ....
28:08:02 Photos going up..
..also how did the Stan Woods testimonial go? I wanted to go, but am more than a tad skint :( Oh and I have started my new job :) Not sure what I think yet... Watch this space :)
27:08:02 The Photos...
I should have the piccis back by 8PM tonight! So I will get as many as I can up later. I took 7 X 36(on average---So thats about 250 in total!) photos.. so bear with me :)
26:08:02 PART TWO Report done :)
Tis true, its all done & dusted, you comments are welcome in the guestbook and Forum.. So fill yer boots. Photos tomorrow, if I get back from Leeds on time!
26:08:02 Report going up NOW!

If you fancy some more spectacular action, get to Belle Vue Monday night, its the Invaders driver, Stan Woods banger testimonial, starts at 6:30PM... Should be big and spectacular :)
24:08:02 My bap handling days are numbered..
..as in I am starting a new job next week, normal hours and better money :) That means the site will oon return to normal and things will be tickity boo :) See you all tomorrow :)
22:08:02 Points up
The points are up, it seems Val has not been at home this week:)
19:08:02 Less than a week :)
I just hope its worth the wait :) But hey its Robins... Its gonna be awesome :) LOL LOL, I feel damp already :)
15:08:02 £25 extra for A Robin...
The winner of the Robin DD wins £25... Thats on top of the £20 for racing a Robin at the meeting :) I'm getting excited now (See the Warton 2000 Archive album for the last Warton Robin meeting photos.)
Don't forget that its a full meeting, including Bangers and all the other classes too :)
14:08:02 Horrah the report is done!
check it out now.. The photos are going up later tonight, about another 80!
13:08:02 A wise man once said...
'I work to live, not live to work', well he was a bit of a prat, but on this case he was right! I am currently working & sleeping and doing nothing else.. Time to look for another job. I apologise for the SLOW speed that the updates are going on here, report STILL not finished and still not all the photos up.
12:08:02 Photos back...
I will TRY to get a few up tonight and to finish the report, bear with me I have been getting up at 3:30AM for 15 Days on the trot!!!
11:08:02 I got very wet ...AGAIN
This time at the track :) Still I'm drying off and gonna do the report soon :)
06:08:02 I got very wet while messing with my ballcock...
..In my toilet. Its been dripping for ages (years) and overflowing, its drove me mad. A mate got me a rubber washer to replace the one in there already, I decided to be clever and not turn off the water.. What a big mistake! Talk about wet, yes I know I've been wet for years, but this time I, and my bathroom, were drenched! I don't think I will take a career as a plumber.
Anyway its looking good to be dry on Sunday, though cloudy... I got to work Sunday morning.. I hope to be at Warton around 12 noon..
06:08:02 Points up
Latest points are online, thanks to Val for sending them to me... Also the comments for the photos will be up later tonight or tomorrow :)
Also the chat room , guestbook & Forum ALL seem to be offline. Keep trying though, they should be back online shortly!

22:07:02 Part 2
Comments up.. On all 203 photos, have I slagged you off, or are you one of the choosen few ? :)
22:07:02 What a weekend that was!
I got up Sat morning at 2:30AM to get to work early and finish in time to catch a coach to a wedding. I managed it, just, and sat through all the boring bits thinking about the food later , I had had nowt to eat, anyway about 5PM we sit down to a meal, that was nice except for the fact that I could only eat two slices of Turkey and roast potatoes, as all 4 courses were full of either milk or wine (I have allergies to both). Still starving I started on WKD. Not a good idea on an empty stomach, I was soon worse for wear... and it happened, I got talked into, and DID, the Full Monty. There are photos, not that I have seen them yet and there was about six of us doing it... The shame. Moral of the Story kids, don't drink on an empty stomach. And if you were wondering, yes I did.....all the way.... (goes bright red)
So thats why I have not got round to doing the comments yet ! See it all ties in, Sunday I was still drunk and spent most of the day asleep!
17:07:02 All photos up now!
As in 203 photos in the main gallery. Comments up later in week. Use the 02W number if you wish to e-mail an order for the A4 prints :)

New Wallpaper is up and online. Just select the page, then let it load up and away you go :)
I'm still knackered all the time, biting peoples heads off for no reason, you might mistake me for a teenage boy... Hi James :)
08:07:02 Getting ready for next weekend ?
Well I assume you are, I am recovering from last weekend, I worked Sunday morning and spent the rest of the time asleep, though I managed to watch the F1 Grand Prix, nice to see it rains for the rich blokes too :)
05:07:02 Photos AND COMMENTS up!
Tis true.. Its all up and done :) Sorry for the delay....
I spoke to Mick today, and I will still do the reports in the program and get on the infeild to take my piccis, so everything is fine and dandy :)
I'm so happy, oh so happy :) :) :)
Oh no its just I have had too much Lucozade, I'm feeling a bit Laura now!
04:07:02 Happy Birthday Wartononline.com
Its a year to the day since my site moved here, and what a year, more ups and down than an hores knickers.. Welsh racing last year and back to glorious Warton this season.. Thanks to you all for your continued support.. Rest of photos going up later tonight..
03:07:02 Harrr harrr
Well I have the photos back, I need to sort them and scan them, first load up later tonight, unless I fall asleep again :)
02:07:02 Report done
The photos will start to go up on Wednesday night.. Well thats the plan. I forgot to mention that this site will continue as normal, reports etc.
Also another e-mail, this time via the Waton Yahoo group:
I recently got hold of a 1978 series 2 XJ6 which I intend to keep on the road,(sorry lads) Problem is I need a few things.I have tried all the breakers yards in Bury(Manchester) where I live,but some of you lads must have beaten me to it. If anyone can help me out with the things I need, please contact me with details of what you have.
1)Chrome fog lights(front/and rear if poss and in good condition) 2)Chrome bumper overriders (pref without rust) 3)front/rear lights and lenses 4)Switch gear 5)Roof lining(good condition) 6)Leather interior(seats/door panels)tan or black(good condition)
hope you can help
You can e-mail him at mikefulton21@yahoo.com
01:07:02 Loadsa Stuff!
A: Ann Yeates, Martins mum, sent me an e-mail and it included 'I would like to say a big thanks to everyone who helped him today, even Ben for taking his roof off( he can carve my turkey at Christmas) also to St Johns Ambulance they were brill. Martin says he will be back on the 14th to do battle with James ( no hard feelings towards him and congrats to winning the Grand National, good on ya lad' So there you go :)
B: Report going up.. Slowly, due to the fact, I spend most of my time at home asleep these days!
C: Photos back on Wednesday, another shite day sales, I'm not selling anything else in the shop and the CDROMS are no longer going to be made, I know how the video guy feels! I went to bed at 3AM Sat night getting stuff ready for Sunday and took only £12 in sales, I don't know why I bothered and have had enough, if you want posters they are two pounds each, e-mail your order and pick it up next meeting! But don't feel you have to bother, God knows few of you have the last few meetings! No doubt Val will still be selling my photos in the track shop, if you can be bothered to get your arses there! (That must be a record for the use of the word bother or bothered in a paragraph!---Do I get a prize ?)
D: I quit as Offical Warton Photographer, getting piss wet through meeting after meeting, then pissed on by certain people makes me think its time to call it a day! Unless I get banned from Warton, I will still take photos on the infield and run the webpage, but this report will be my last for the program and this is the last meeting I will take money from the club to supply reprints of ALL my photos, to be sold in the track shop. I let some other mug do that in the future. When I took the job, many people warned me that I would get shat upon, it took three seasons, but God they were right! I only did it as an hobby, but its got silly now.
