Yes, well done Tom - win number six. If only the bloody car had been more reliable he'd have been right up there at the sharp end of the table
Jimmy is also suffering with reliability woes - the car was misbehaving all weekend The team first got their hands on the car at 7am on Saturday at Snetterton and it was returned to Coventry immediately after the race. It was then rolled off the VLR truck on Friday evening at Brands and, unfortunately, still wasn't right. One problem after another was solved - including a broken starter motor which had to be replaced with one from Dan Eaves' road car - but unfortunately the lack of 'quality time' with the car showed. I believe the car is now with the team until the next race so I'm sure it'll be stripped down and screwed back together properly between now and then. |

I ts a shame really as i firmly believe Jimmy would be right up there with the best of them given the right machinery. I dare say if Team Varta have it under wraps till Donnington it will be a whole new ball game. My team Varta advertising car will be at Donnington. But i will be away on holiday. Hope all goes well.

I had a bet with my sister before the races that Boardman would go out in the 1st race & win the 2nd!!
He's my fave driver |

I reckon your luck will change the day you take your 'advertising car' down the road to Bootham Crescent on matchday and sit in the carpark bibbing your horn

Calm down dear i might just do that if the price was right. Nothing better to wind them up with, its a pity there footballing skills aren't as good as there skills at putting the blame on the wrong people. Tell you what i will get a photo when the job is done and post it to you if you send me an e-mail address.

I can't cope with so many threads aimed at Tom all at once!
If he needs accompanying to the end of season awards presentation - I'll be free! |

Did any of you see the coverage on Motors Tv when you got home? Toms car has a nice close up of the side with ten-tenths.com on the sill. Well done Motors TV, ten-tenths is now world famous
