Do you have to be a virgin to look like a Virginian?

Don't start me off John. Without doubt a favorite of mine. Max are you saying in need one Steve McQueen scarf and another Virginian or does the one do both jobs.

[MartinSmith]

[Colin McKay]

High Noon is very appropriate......Doughnut forsake me o my darlin'......

[delta]

Was his name Clarkson by any chance?

[BILTEL]

Will anybody still be there Sunday? I could go Friday as I have this week off, but I'm too busy spending the week building my 360 car!! Does that entitle me to a free ticket from Claire for being so committed to the cause? I'll bet nobody else has taken a week of holidays to get stuck into their 360 car. Any how I'll say hello to whoever is left on Sunday at CSCC, CTCRC, Racewear and 360.

[johngee]

We'll still be there on Sunday ....... and, before you ask we don't get any free tickets - we even have to buy some for the generous souls who are helping us man (and women) our stand

[thebullet]

I will be there! maybe saturday but defo sunday as Media, getting warmed up on the photography side.

[Paulaweybridge]

Went to Tesco's earlier and bought mixed nuts and jumbo raisins to eat on the coach, bread and chicken for my sandwiches etc. No doughnuts though ...

Political correctness gone mad or just marketing rubbish

[terence]

Nope,it is a Chevvy,complete with V8 fitted in SA.

[Derwent Motorsp]

Fiesta ST - Louise Cook. Why and who is she?

[Peter Mallett]

I believe she's related to Dave Cook of DC Cook fame and was at one time a F3 driver.

OK thanks - I'll call it a Vauxhall Firenza Chevrolet ;-)

[Paulaweybridge]

Here we go guys and girls,

See her being interviewed by Andrew Marriott at this year's Autosport International....

http://www.cutecookie.co.uk/

Have a look at her achievements, not bad for a 23 year old.

Another already very successful female driver and was in the top 10 of the 2010 British Rally Championship Challenge....

Peter you are thinking of Paula Cook.

[Mike Bell]

If that is same Firenza that was at Oulton Gold Cup last year it is bloody quick and sounds.... like a V8 Chevvy should. If it is same one I believe it is a replica of the production model sold in SA (and rallied) in same era as Basil Green Motors were making the V8 Capri Perana......

Great list of cars for the rally course. Is that 'the' Justin Law in a Lancia Integrale?

[Paulaweybridge]

Justin Law in the Integrale should be an awesome watch ...

Mike, I reckon it must be.

Funny- for some reason associate Justin with Ford Transits nowadays

I was going to say 'wot no Audis?' but see a brace of Quattro entered. Hope for good weather on Friday! (For spectating )
