 Q: From a driver point of view, will it be Gordon Shedden alongside you again? Matt Neal: Yeah, that was all agreed last year, that it would be me and ‘Flash' again for '07. We are sorry to lose Gareth as reserve driver as he is off to pastures new but that is great for him. Q: How important is the continuity of keeping Gordon alongside you? Matt Neal: It's very good. We have similar driving styles and he has a season under his belt now. He is very quick, although I don't like it when he's too quick as I have to keep up him, but it will be interesting. He is a very nice guy and works well with the team so it's a pleasure to have him around.

Good news! Is it true that TD are using that hideous new Civic though?

Was hoping for an Accord (I'm a big believer in the old saloon cars of the Super Touring era) - down with the cheese wedges! ;D

Apparently they want to maintain their increasing reputation for building good cars, which they wouldn't with an Accord.
Feel sorry for Shedden, as it is a Neal team no one but Matt will ever be allowed to be champion in that squad.

Think it will be the new Civic. There was a pic of it in the motorsport press last week.
Also, WSR has changed from the MGs to BMWs

Saw the RAC BMW pics from Autosport Int - very nice looking colourscheme.

Dave - Gordon was Iain's 'golden boy' before me! Iain used to run Gordon in the Si's in the early days before he won the championship.
I'm working on something with Iain at present anyway - will let you know once we've fully committed to it...
Nick.

This may be controversial to ask this but why is Gordon Shedden called "Super Sheds"? To some he isn't super at all.
