Never mind Woody, try to remember to post it next time...
Today's line-up at a thoroughly cold and snow-laden (well nearly) Silverstone included...
Hakkinen and Coulthard in the Macs,
Burti and Irvine in the Jags,
Cochet and Alesi in the Prosts,
Villeneuve and Panis in the BARs,
Montoya and Ralf in the Williams',
Frentzen in the Jordan,
and...
Fisichella in the Benetton.
We spent most of the morning in the BRDC club house as to be frank it was bloody freezing. The weather was a general and unpredictable mix of snow, sun, wind, snow, hail, rain, sun, snow - we even had a mini-blizzard at about 7pm!
The Jordan of Frentzen was again looking smooth, the Macs and Jaguars once more seemingly struggling with traction control. The Benetton was just S.L.O.W. Jean Alesi provided some welcome fun by continuing round the track as the hail and snow fell, nearly spinning but not quite. Marvellous.
Woody turned up in the afternoon, Jaffa Cakes included, and proceeded to go Coulthard and Fisichella crazy... (Women...)
The autograph collection was added to thanks to Ralf Schumacher - who we chased down the road towards the A43. To be honest we felt like we were going to collapse after that little escapade. Then Panis drove out - but Jon's mother was one step ahead of him with her car ready. I quickly got in back and we chased Olivier down the road. That makes 2. Irvine stopped but only momentarily, as did Alesi but he was very polite again. Burti, despite hearing that he had been dropped by Jaguar for 2002, stopped and was very very friendly.
At 8.40pm we finally gave up on Fisichella and Coulthard.
Thankyou to whoever provided entertainment by phoning the phone boxes by the main gate - we eventually scared them off when our replies got a little too saucy for their liking

And finally, quote of the day.
Me: Oooh, look at Lorna's blow-up.
Ooh err...
