Don't have Eurosport but found it FOC at Justin.tv. I think I supplied Ross with his first kart suit as a cadet, makes us all old I suppose.

@Al W - caught some footage of a modern Camaro duffing up a couple of Porsches, you'd have enjoyed that!

by duffing do you mean woeful understeer and taking them out?

Tennis, who cares for the whingeing sweaty!, crickets very poor, watching the FA cup highlights and looking forward to the 5th round draw, hopefully the Seagulls will get a decent match, at home, be nice to see Crawley get to take on some primadonas too, preferably at the Broadfield, they won't like it one bit.

Seagulls playing footy- what next?

Hang on, I support the Canaries

Those 'DP' cars at Daytona aren't pretty but the race seems to attract a good driver line up.

Gordon, I don't think that he is Scottish. I think that he is related to the Serb footballer Slobodan Micocubic.

I think what you mean is, 'the Press' will refer to him as Scottish rather than British, now?

I do remember Iain - was it empty or have one on the back?

Sorry to hear why Ross 's car retired. Can't trust these gentleman drivers

Just had a quick look at timing- 4 cars on same lap after 21 hours!

Clarkson slagged the new Camaro in the Italian Job video but they come from the factory built for comfort, I bet a few suttle mods like uprated springs and shockers they would be a very potent race car with IRS and 6.2 all alloy LS7 V8.

Had a great evening at the CTCRC awards do on Saturday night and picked up a couple of awesome glass trophies. They were laser engraved and had a CTCRC badge somehow etched deep inside the glass, I dunno how they do that must be laser I would have thought but damned impressive.

well I have a sick compressor in the workshop, and a sick boy on the sofa so today I will be mostly doing books and boring type stuff.

got half a dozen songs to learn bass lines for and then perhaps round off with a few laps in the freshly restored scalextric Cortina . . . and the Galaxy that someone rolled, smashed into the piano and broke the roof!

Just emerged from the hell that is VAT returns and self-assessment tax returns........rather proud that I got them submitted a day before the deadline...most unusual for me......

The bad news is it brings home how little business there has been lately.....

I sincerely hope not, I don't think we need to sell, Gus wants to keep players (unless he gets silly money, it is a business I guess) and grow the team ready for the new stadium and the championship

more to the point, we'll be taking 6 points off you next season and it wouldn't be fair to the lad

I've cheated and asked my brother who is a steam gricer. It's an Adams Class 02 tank engine. Iain I assume that picture was taken pre war as it's in London South Western Railway livery.
