Prius yes; the Avensis wasn't particularly fuel efficient or cheap to maintain at Toyota dealers: Asian ethnics do love their Toyotas mind so it sold well enough for private hire.

In my Northern homeland the Skoda Octavia ruled supreme until they stuck prices up for the current generation... the Rapid is bargain bucket cheap and therefore popular and you should see the size of discounts Peugeot give on 308 wagons - cheap to run, don't go wrong and comfy, so a cabbies dream.

Senna Proctor tweeting he will announce his 2018 plans soon. This tweet was 'liked' by Bert Taylor (BTCN)

Make of it what you will...! Would be good to see Proctor in a Civic

If you want to think one of the biggest Belgian newspapers doesn't have the right info on a Belgian team, go ahead.

Exactly - what date clashes exist? He could potentially do a part season in one or the other even if dates do clash.

Sonic did last year...

It seems really unusual for a social media post that blunt to be true, and this is the 2nd / 3rd time Hollamby has posted a photo like this this silly season. To me, he is more than likely trying to stir up rumours... although the similiar type of posts regarding the MG switch turned out to be true! Like others have mentioned before, I think we're reading too much into this. I can't see it happening. Neither with Moffat.

Tordoff in the Dynamics Civic, on the other hand...

Hmmm... either Shaun and Sam (and young Mr Moffat) are just being canny generating some noise OR maybe the pair are running in the MGs.

Now we know Willie Poole has got them straightened and got some weight out too, so maybe Shauns mob can run them competitively: it was only last year they sucked with the full RML kit and next to zero testing. Prior to that, and especially when JP peddled, they were at the pointy end. The question is do AmD have the cash, staff and equipment that was evidently lacking under the Farmers stewardship?

N.B. my thinking also revolves around the budget requirements for the MG seats meaning the drivers may need less personal backing than elsewhere. We know RCIB are on-board...

There are 5 calendar clashes so a dual programme is not possible. James Nash maybe taking Sheddens' seat at Dynamics

Spoke with Tingram today at a wet Oulton Park track day and thought I’d share that his avensis has been fully rebuilt and the Speedworks team and a few others are off to Portugal in a few weeks for 4 or 5 days testing and then plan about 6-8 more days before round 1 and said anything other than the OVERALL title would be a disappointing season.
* Was coaching young Louis Doyle from Clio juniors and found that series is not as equal as it looks.
