mctshirt should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Selected quotes from an article about what manager Graham Watson sees in the the future of A1GP driver Jonny Reid:

"Reid has had approachs to drive V8 Supercars in Australia, and he and Watson are discussing other possibilities in Europe."

"I don't want him in V8's for another 10 years - he's too good for that. When drivers do V8's they get bad habits and then they can't drive single seaters so well.

Jonny could be another Craig Lowndes [triple V8 champion] but I believe he is still young enough to be getting towards F1."

"But he adds, its time for Reid to find a position where he gets paid to drive instead of having to bring in money to teams. Top drivers in V8 Supercars earn $A1 million a year."

Did this this slip past the powder room or smoke and mirrors from someone trying to sell a driver. What's the word Timu? Good fit for TKR in the future but probably wouldn't have deep enough pockets.

Go on - stick him in the list - you know you want to
