I spent all day at the Stornoway car rally watching the racers drive at very high speed, making sharp turns and reversing into very tight places.
I was amazed at how fast they can go, and I must confess I got very dizzy at the excitement and sense of danger as they whizzed through the crowds oblivious to the risk to their own lives.
I went to renew my ticket, 20p for 1 hour was so very reasonable, and I asked the man standing beside the ticket machine just how long it was going to carry on for. "All day", he said, "This is Percival Square car park!"
Constituents spoken to: 1
People who recognised me: none
Highest speed reached in 'Dorothy', my trusty green Micra: 14 mph (I managed second gear!)

This is a private journal about all the exciting things that have happened to me since I stood as MSP for Gordon the Western Isles. I am dedicated to the people of Gordon the Western Isles, and there is nowhere else I would rather represent. I even intend to live there soon.
I am not to be mistaken for for that imposter who pretends to be an MSP.
I really like this dynamic and exciting blog layout, which suits me perfectly.

Car rally
I've read my wise words this many times
* No, not really. If you haven't worked out that this is a satirical exercise, then please get a life. And find one for Alasdair.
