Well played 356, Champion.

Hang on a minute - I'd like to register a complaint! Our neighbour has a cat called Morgan, so surely that's two of them named after an animal?

This is either a very simple puzzle if you know your F1 history, or a nightmare for members of the Stupido club.
Put these drivers in order.

Note; I only have one answer in mind, but knowing you lot ...

Please be patient, we are dealing with complaints in the order we receive them, we are on page 12 at the moment.

I can't make a connection, let alone put them in order. I think you've stumped quite a few with recent ones.

What order? Achievements. One has none.

Our pal Delta, gets around, who knows where he can be found.
Here and there but not for long, from South Island to Hong Kong,
Across the globe round and round, spending money pound by pound,
Now, please don't get me wrong, but we miss him when he's gone.
Why this urge to race and roam, shift yer RRRRs and get on home

You missed the famous radio reporter, and the odd one.

The smiley bloke is well known on here.

Hope all of this is helping pass the Chinese time away.

Plenty more for you to be working on.

The dustmen called at a Chinaman's house and asked "Where's your bin"

"I bin Hong Kong"

"No, where's your Wheelie bin?"

"Oh, I weelie bin Hong Kong"

The old ones etc.........

Flaming heck - one I think that even I could get right.

It does help when the race event & year are printed on the car numbers and that the event was always held at my local circuit

As you say 'As usual'
Crystal Palace it is, long time ago, probably early seventies, some from a VSCC meeting, two ERAs and the Derby Maserati. RBS knew all about it (as usual).

Mike. "Endeavour to persevere'

Its the taking part that counts, and there are more puzzles to solve.

I'm glad that you said that it was probably in the 70s because I last went to the circuit in the 60s and I could recollect a bridge.
