Carnage looms....

Good grief... first Clio race... 30 laps! There'll be none left for the second race!
Super Sheds currently on special offer at Homebase for £100, a bargain not to be missed...!
Seriously, I spoke to Gordon and Jillian at the dinner in December and they said he would be out this year in a Seat of some sort, no idea whose but that was a definite plan! They were selling Jillian's FF car to help finance it and she wouldn't be racing this season.
That was the last I heard.

Was giving the fiesta a shakedown at Brands Hatch today. Matt Neal, Andrew Jordan and Dave Pinkney were there. Dave was in the garage next to us. He's out in the ex Fabrizio Vauxhall this year in his own team and looked seriously quick. Today was the first time he had sat in the car (which is some piece of kit as expected I guess) and like Jordan he is running next year's turbo charged engine which by the end of the day was playing up. We chatted a fair bit during the day and Pinkney's quite a character.... If he can sort a couple of things out and get a gear ratio upgrade he's waiting on it wouldn't surprise me if he surprised a few people this year.
Glynn Geddie and a few other Porsche's were there and Glynn was another who looked seriously quick.

This is great news - I can only suspect this has a lot to do with Matt Neal?
The whole Pinkney thing was crazy and you'd hope it was purely down to money or Steve Neal must be off his marbles, now they have Honda backing they can get good drivers who don't have a huge budget?

Dunno Dave, but I did read an article with Steve Neal saying Pinkney brought a lot of money and thats what let the team run last year - but he prefers to be able to choose drivers not based on budget. |

ok, have watched most of the btcc today from silverstone
i am contemplating taking out some shares in what ever company sponsors the safety car cos i think we are going to be needing it !
might also be a good idea to take out shares in a few pen companies as the post chief's on duffus, McIntyre, Chicane, and possibly hair pin, well i think they will be writing reports all day
oh my
oh my oh my
oh well could be almost as excititing as a XR2 St race
