S2M talks to John Holmes on BBC Radio Nottingham

So Glen and myself made our radio debut today a@ 3.15 on the John Holmes show at BBC Radio Nottingham. The nice thing about John is that he is so easy to chat too !, and lets you just "get on with it"!. Having had a rather good hot chocolate in the foyer of the building we were ushered in and then sat just outside the studio for a few minutes before John appeared and at once began to make us feel at home, we then bimbled into the studio, took a seat and after a brief round of Rod Stewart (Maggie May!) we were into the interview!

Listen mum...we're on the Radio !


Ok,so the cars back on the road and being used as a daily driver due to the fact that i firmly believe that a use car will fair better than one thats laid up for months on end and is then expected to perform 100%...the reality is that a car that is laid up has a better chance of suffering a failure of some sort as soon as you ask it to perform at all !.....so I decided to keep her rollin' and if anything does need to be sorted then at least it will give us time to complete any nescessary work before we set off on our "little trip" !.

I've started to gather together a few items that i think would come in useful on the run like a fire extingusher,300W inverter (to power and charge all the "gadgets" that we are going to have on board),oh, and a mini fridge ! with just enough room for 4 large cans of beer....luvvly !

The team have been invited to the BBC Radio Nottingham studio's next Thursday to appear (is that correct in radio terms ?)on the John Holmes show.I have met John once before when i did a short stint on his show to talk about my last Scirocco themed charity drive "Roc Around the Clock", and i found the experience an excellent one as John is the sort of fella that you feel you have known for years and who has that ability to make you feel completely at ease almost as though you are chatting to him down at the local pub....but obviously the BBC don't serve you best mild whilst your on air !

If anyone gets the chance to tune in via terrestrial radio or via a web feed then the deatils are: The John holmes show,BBC Radio Nottingham,23rd January 2008,3.15PM (GMT).
