Dear Mr Pearson,
Our Norfolk correspondant today took a measuring stick to the braking zones at Snetterton and would like to inform you that he believes you are in contravention of section 10.3a of the MSA blue book with regard to braking zones. Evidence is attached - we look forward to welcoming you to Colnbrook to answer the case for your defence. Regards. |

I don't think they go around checking the sell-by dates on them Craig Unless you're talking about a pith-helmet and goggles (an no I haven't got a lisp )

What date is it?
Depends how many times me and Giorgio Tibaldo make contact again this year, you'll be glad to know I avenged my dispatch into the wall at Misano in quality fashion at Magny Cours, but at this rate, they may not be enough of the V6 left to take rides in... But what a beast... Yup, I used to race Caterhams, but in the immortal words, we've come a long way baby... |

RSPCC here (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Clios!)
There, there, never mind, Rick doesn't mean to hurt to you little Clio - it's that other one he is trying to flatten. It's nothing personal - just grin and bear it and it will soon be over (one way or the other) And on the BTCC forum some bloke is on about Tom Boardman's driving ..... |

It would be an interesting comparison, which is more of a handful, the 911 on road tyres or the V6...
Can someone please tell me the date for this year as the Renault finals are now the first week of November and given the choice of a week in Portugal and a November day at Snett... I promise you that anyone who thought the 172 was memorable will be gob-smacked by the V6... RickP: Sideways once again in Europe: Clio51 |

Woody, in which car ? Rick, I believe it is mid-late November this time around - cannot remember the exact date, but the 18th springs to mind... Chris ? Any other race drivers reading this ? It is an excellent day and a very worthy cause... if you're interested in taking part, drop Chris Y a line and he'll pass on full details |

Never been scared Lorna?
That has to be a challenge... Woody TJ? Want first ride? If you are brave enough to fight Les for the honour... The bad news is that I was planning to be on holiday that weekend... The good news is that I will probably change it. Will have to see how much of the V6 is still working after the Renault Finals the previous week... But I intend to be there with the car and I will as ever be throwing open a few spots to 10-tenths for their continued support. RickP |
