well it was a washout but not for us

OK not a single wheel was turned at Silverstone today and half the teams had gone home but I enjoyed it immensely.

Spoke to Dave Pinkney and Darren Malkin and the JSM crew, saw the Eggy Bennetts car and James Thompson, the Astras and Yvan & Jason.

Spoke to Jim Junior and Senior and Gareth Howell and Matt Jackson.

The cars look great - the Eggs especially - really stand out in the pack. Gareth's Focus is very smart - love the chequerboard design.

Left me get my brain in gear and I'll get back with what was said..

We had a great day didn't we Les?! Shame the cars didn't go out. Lets hope we have more luck at Brands next week.

Still sounds good Les, although I doubt you got much chance to try out the new camera lens. Did you get any photos anyway?

Not a bad day considering the only thing that moved on the track were the marshalls racing the land rovers. I had to smile at the look on Jason Plato's face when Yvan Muller left us in front of him! Did you get any info from him Amanda?

Sory guys-what was this (ive been away last couple of days)at Silverstone-from what i gather the rain washed it out? Was it a formal test session?

It was snowed off and it was the first official session of the year.

Sorry, ive been in london for the last couple of days playing rugby (national sevens comp was also cancelled due to waterlogged pitches!)-should have realised about Silverstone! I think the Astra looks stunning in both liveries!
