Easy work for your tutor! Seems odd to have a 24hr race starting on a Friday, and then at the 5hr point a huge fireworks display while the cars are circulating....

That would be good! But will Gerard be allowed into the UK after the end of March?

Amongst the sometimes irrelevant statistics you see published, one in the local paper today- When fire alarms are automatically activated, the most frequent cause is burnt toast..... Thrip come in at #6 though, which I know from experience. When they get in a PIR they cause havoc!

All Gerard will have to is pretend to be an Iranian. That way he'll probably get a free house too!

Looks like Gerard Mohammed will have to swim over then. Oh! Maybe his blow-up doll will do the trick.

Andy thanks a lot for the nice words, I cant tell you how much I appreciated our meeting! Good news, Ric can convert my engine into an almost Grp1,5, lets say Grp 1,25. Not really affordable but worth and it will be possible to have it checked and sealed by the Motuk inspector…
As to the end of March, Ric had exactly the same words as bauble, "they need us more than we need them". Same thing at the BJ trailers stand. It's been around four of five years I didn't go to this show and couldn't remember how nice and helpful people are in this business. Even with Johnny Foreigner!

And now, midget, Bauble, Viva, E.B and even John, let me tell you how we inflate our dolls here and its has nothing to "sea" with a cricket pump!

Gerard Mohammed, happy with his trip!
PS to Mike H: the sandwiches are terrible! What are you doing?

I was about to collect some pictures of my favorite racing cars, but there is a… but. Obviously, bauble will try to convert the pictures from LHD to RHD, so how to explain my Ettevroc Gnits Yar at Siverstone or a Drof Irpac at Spa, I wonder… Others are Jean Marc's Epyt E which doesn't sound much better! Imagine this in Oz country!!

I've looked everywhere for the photo as it's for sale again converted into an A35 Academy car with Goodwood history and I think it looked much better when I had it!
Cliff, I know it's not the shot you were after (or the circuit come to that!) but here's a couple from a wet Brands Hatch from 2007 and one from Mallory Park in 2006
