just looked back at those names again and Roger Turner with that ridiculously quick Lada wot a nice bloke him and his mecahics were. after i took out a tyre wall broadside at brands very hard in practice i was going to take my badly damaged car home till they just jumped on it and started to strip the thing we dropped the subframe fitted a new rack hub steering arms rear camber plates straighten lots of bodywork and as the grid lined up after warm up lap i managed to get to the pit lane amidst much cheering and applause went on to finish well up the field with no side glasses - wheel arches from gaffer tape and god only knows what tracking and geometry front and rear!
he also did a 100 mile round trip to lend me his trailer to get home from oulton park after i had driven the mini there from A1 stevenage where id left my broken trailer with the AA and then collected his from potters bar.
theres not many like that about.
