I want it!

Since seeing Top Gear this week, and the adverts that have been appearing, I have decided that my new object of car desire is the gorgeous Audi R8. I would show it to you but once again Blogger is not playing ball so you'll just have to believe how truly lovely it is. Having seen the endurance racing version at Le Mans I was intrigued to see how the road version would look. I was not disappointed but it seems that whilst my dad agrees that it's lovely, he won't buy me one! I don't see why, it could be my birthday and Christmas presents for the rest of my life!!

I watched the F1 qualifying with him this evening. I know that there are a lot of rules and regulations and that sometimes that overshadows the real skill of the drivers and excitement of the race, but I still love it. I will be cheering Lewis on tomorrow. It would be totally wonderful to have a British driver win the championship in his debut season. It's not been done for a long time. We have a vested interest in Lewis as he comes from Stevenage (ie just down the road) and my brother used to compete in the same carting championship as him (although not in the same age group and not in the same league as Lewis). We may not have won the rugby (we did incredibly well to get to the final and the team should be very proud) but we can still have a British world champion this weekend.
I did my first volunteer stint for Sue Ryder Care today. We were selling tickets for a balloon launch. People seem to find it very easy to completely ignore charities, even when they stand a chance of winning something. Ahh well we still managed to sell a few and the balloons looked awesome floating away. I will be helping them again at their fire walk on Monday.
Well after a chinese tonight I'm feeling a bit sleepy, so it's off to bed for me. TTFN
