................carefully re-read my post. At no point did I actually say I was going.

That is the public record .

If you want' I can ring her. I'm very diplomatic.

Familiar with the term collateral damage?

You'll get us both killed, this requires some serious thought.

Okay, CAREFULLY re-reading the post

I just received a series of phone calls from a certain photographer who is leaning on me something severe to attend a certain salt racing event....... I am currently undergoing a cardiac event.....

An invitation - one that you are thrilled to receive.

He's already hired a car

The die is cast - transportation and financial arrangements already in play -  the game is afoot.

someone is going to kill me.... :roll:

Fait accompli - the definite result - not "Someone would kill me if I went", but, "Someone IS GOING to kill me", indicating an acceptance of the inevitable as a result of your impending action.

Anything else you'd like us to carefully re-read? :-D

MM

Now all one of us has to say is

I just spoke to.....
And yes, she is going to kill you


As opposed to what I get.

Tell your wife "Dear, do you want to go to America with me this winter?  I have booked a romantic flat with a view.  Lots of sun and fresh air."

Well, I'll say yes - with tongue in cheek.  What have you got in mind?  Tippling racers - or Yukon Jack?

As long as you've got some mud I'm happy to wrestle Wayno.....

Just joshin' , I can reel off a bunch of car songs if you want to keep it topical....

heck, with my rep for send off songs at work I could turn out a number that mentioned the character list from the roster at landracing.com , er, I'm open to bribes.......and I can run pretty fast when I have to.....

Or , if you recall , the one that you liked from a few years back with the tune from Old Macdonald that substituted "had a prop' " for "had a cow/duck/pig etc".....just as long as it's not too long after sunset, I have a feeling this trip will not pass unrefreshed and I have a lot of hands to shake.
