Being such an officious bunch should we report the BRDC to the Fife Licensing Board for supplying alcohol to under eighteen’s.  My daughters tell me Nelson Piquet Jnr. is only 17 and yet he was given a bottle of champagne by BRDC for winning his race.. Tut Tut.. rules are rules and they really shouldn’t flout our Licensing Laws.  |

Hehehe, very good point! Seem to recall hearing that the BTCC couldn't give Tom Chilton (or Boardman, can't remember which) champagne when he got on the podium aged 17 a year or so ago, so interesting how the F3 guys got away with that one... tut tut tut  |

I heard (though dunno how true it is) that the "champagne" isn't actually champagne in the BTCC - just fizzy lemonade probs.
As for Tom Chilton, he'd be OK this year but he can never manage to keep that car on the straight and narrow.....

If its just fizzy lemonade type stuff then lets prosecute under the Trades Description Act.!!

For my sins I was on the Licensing Board for a few years.
In mitigation I was only on it to get longer drinking hours one of the few successful achievements I managed on the council.
Still I did get a certain laugh out of the Chief of Police having to call me Your Honour!!
So what's so good about this picture? One of my crashes or one of my spins?? Guess I will have to check when we get Autosport up here!

Nope, you're 3 wide with Finlay Mickel and Colin Noble - really good picture of it  Btw, I see from your profile that you're from Orkney  Puts where I used to live in perspective... at least I was on the same island as Knockhill, even if it was miles away! |
