Right,
The weeklys are out and:
Motorsport News - Better coverage of the race at Stowe a few weeks before
Autosport - Quote on page 15, picture of the start on page 99, and a decent race report
Cheers
Trevor

Haven't seen Autosport (but did get NME and Private Eye). Thought the MN "report" particularly rubbish.

It was me - okay?  I told a journo in strict secrecy what really happened and he splashes it all over the bloody magazine - jeez team mates eh?  I have all the usual excuses but I... oh you fill it in!  You sort of get lost out there at two in the morning with no one on the pit wall and I wanted to know where I was in my stint.  Hung the watch out the window so the car behind would light it up and :evil: bang!  Guess I'll have to build another car as no one else will be stupid enough to let me drive their's.  

His final point is well made though.  Why do we keep on doing the thing?  I suppose it has something to do with "travelling in expectation" and that it is truly an adventure which has very little parallel in modern life other than possibly the military.  Graham Harper must know by now, I suppose.

Any one got a roll cage and a decent shell for sale......?

Francis, I have a spare shell with a cage in. You'll have to come and get it, though! Could do with a bit of TLC, although it got an MOT not that long ago.

Got a spare chassis too.

Derek, thanks.  I have thought it through and I don't think I will have a wife if I start from scratch again!  It was great to see Nessie going so well at Snett, long may it continue.  Cheers, Francis
