Iain, I'll see if I can get anything. How about a stained T-shirt like McQueen wore in The Great Escape as second best

Tim, got yr PM, will be in touch

For anyone else prepared to suffer an outbreak of doughnutlessness, we're Hall 3 Stand Q72 I think, but come through the tunnel and we're in front of you on the right

STOP PRESS: I can sort Iain out with a scarf....anyone else fancy looking like something out of The Virginian? Not FIA homologated of course, but very Frankenheimer to go with your old single seaters

I used to wear a white silk scarf like that when riding my Norton Dominator. One day while driving home I felt a slight tug ond thought nothing about it, got home and the scarf was wrapped around the rear sprocket. Could have been shades of Isadora Duncan!

The impossible I can do at once, miracles.....

Re Arsenal fans....I was in a pub once where the barmaid had ARSENAL tattooed just above her bum crack, and every time she bent down you could never see the NAL so it was highly appropriate

Sounds like the girlfriend of a friend of mine. He said she had a 'W' tattooed on each cheek and when she bent over - wow.
