If you can't be there today (like me) then you can listen to http://www.crash.net/uk/en/services/...dioplayer.html and you can get updates throughout the day. I just caught the end of an interview. I don't think it's 100% dedicated to TOTB (as they currently have a tune playing) ... but they have a guy at TOTB who will be giving reports, etc.

Shame he didn't take a spare diff as it would be a fairly easy swap to get him going again!

Rod was using the 10.5" Jag diff, I think he supplied it for Zoo to fit though. They are only a standard fitment diff though! Not uprated.

Still would have been repairable on the day if he had a spare though!
