I'm bored and thought i'd open a can of worms.. i guess Harvey i suspect, AG, even Mike R maybe..

Who was/is the guy who was there last time it was at Donington in the black 2wd saff?? always seems to go very well imo..

Keep an eye out for one of our lads (DC) in a silver Escort cossie. Very quick car, very good driver.

I suppose it would be a good idea to check the list before I comment, but I will probably only just be on the top ten if the cars that I think are going, are actually going... .

Who is actually attending? Reyland Escort and Porkie's old 3dr? Gareth Lloyd?

Would LOVE to see Gareth Lloyd out on track full pelt with AG, stunning spectacle and both proper drivers!

0-100-0 in 10.5

Made the GT2 look a bit limp ( and they're like a blooming rocket ).

Made them laugh that it could do the 0-100-0 3 times in the space that some cars were struggling to do it once....( and there were some big hitters out in the article )

Martin is on holiday and Porkie's 3dr broke the gearbox at Ford Fair.... No idea about Scotty (probably gone to another Michael Ball concert (which is why he wasn't at Ford fair ) ).
