I actually said no to some gigs to be there! Was looking forward to being you and JR's Hanger-On-In-Chief. Here's hoping my rescheduled tour doesn't get put in that slot for 2021! - Earl |

Fingers crossed Earl, Our tour In June is all out the window now. A real shame as it's the forst time we'd managed to get a decent lump of gigs together for some time. As things stand I don't think we have a gig now until November. can't even rehearse properly, reduced to Drum n bass with my son! could be worse I suppose, could be stuck with a guitarist or keyboard player

The music world is same as the motorsport world, everyone and their dog now scrambling to reschedule for the Fall/Winter 2020 at the same time creating a total clusterf@$! Seems motorsport will have an equally difficult domino effect stretching well into 2022. Many a fine band has been started with just a rhythm section so maybe you're onto something with Zef Jr.! |

We have rolled our six entries over to next year.
Peter Auto may be expensive but they are one of the best operators in the business and I am totally relaxed about leaving the dosh with them. Now to see if we can talk PA to allow a couple of Talbots in the competition section of Tour Auto Mike Bell as navigator for Grumpy as hopefully he will be sorted out and Zef can go with MB . Obviously got nothing else to do!. I will take 356 in the regularity with Jez Seems like a good idea to me! ( Not sure PA will agree!) We will do teams for LMC when the final list is available. |

I’ve not asked him yet! We did mention it earlier.
He’s still a bit crook but he needs to get back to it and there will be less stress with me than other two!! |

Happy to read you consider Tour Auto too, Mr Ruston. Some competitors use one driver for the stages and the other for the tracks. Not sure Mike will love to race at Magny-Cours though… C'est la vie!
My pockets are far from deep to say the least but I dont find PA to be expensive just cost effective. They give a lot more than others, this is only my opinion. May be Mike will like to open a thread for Tour Auto… What about that, Boss? |

Got to take Jez
It’s now about ten years since we won regulatory Gareth used to annoy people, especially 911’s and an ex works Citroen in Tour Espania They didn’t take kindly to be beaten by a 1931 Talbot. |

I’ve asked about the possibility using the Tour Espania as precedent.
Chances of getting away with it? More chance of Trumper going a whole day without once bending the truth! |

Logistics for such an event is slightly more complicated than for a track only event. Closing roads, finding hotels and restaurants for all the competitors and the assistance crews must not be an easy task I guess. I would love to see your Talbots at Grand Palais of Paris at the end of August! Elles auraient fière allure.

I hear France have now officially put a ban on all events with large spectator participation until mid July, hence TdF now moved!

Right Mike, Tour Auto Optic 2000 (official name…) had been re-scheduled on August 31, September 5. 2020 I mean…
What is said by our prez' is often moderated by PM or others one day later. For instance May 11 is what they think could be a partial end of confinement, lock down, a date TBC and not for everyone. The situation is so unusual to say the least that I won't blame them to be unsure. Peter Auto suggest a nice free toy here: https://www.lemansclassic.com/langua...a-787b-papier/ For Le Mans Classic or Mazda fans. As to the wonderful sound of the original machine, knowing spiting on your screen is not encouraged, manage yourself and be happy! Just for the smile, we're many to consider using our race cagoules because we have not enough face masks ATM… Last edited by Gerard C; 15 Apr 2020 at 16:14. Reason: Smile! |

Would really love to see you at Tour Auto Mike but I must warn you… If some of JR drivers are attacked by kangaroos, in our forests we too have wild animals. That are called… squirrels! Guess what? They can fly over a Talbot!

Wasn't there another cranially challenged US president who had issues with T'rrist Squi'rrls?

Dunno. US prez'?
Just heard about a guy in Alabama feeding his squirrel with meth! The poor animal was supposed to become more dangerous than a trained german shepherd… |

I thought they fried them and ate them in Alabama, or was that just Elvis ?

From Friday 3 at 3 PM, you can watch some vids lasting for 48 hours. Not the real thing but I think some Tenthers can be seen. Connection from the PA FB page. Enjoy.
