if I told you I'd have to kill you
 but seriously....I asked the HSCC, as I'm a non-racing member, some months back and they forwarded my request to the event organisers. |

Er,
It was last year and its seen a few barriers (not my fault) since then. But it is presentable and it does need a polish!

For a Dagenham Dustbin its great. We need a good driver but that ain't gonna happen before Spa! BTW. Got somebody to scan and send the La Source pic of Gordy in '78 from Motorsport. Oooh! |

P80 works better with the European insects, I believe. Especially with Peter's rock-hard-red paint

Not sure you've got your figures right there. It was about 55 to the pound IIRC.

I'm probably being thick what are BEF?
I went on the assumption the BF was Belgian Francs and expedia says 0.71 to each pound...so now I'm thinking were talking Euros and whatever the smaller unit of those is..u can see how long it was since I was last in Europe |

BF or BEF are the old Belgian Francs. 1Euro is £0.71

you have to pay to wee?? so that explains the tales I've heard of the Grand Prix weekends and the all pervading whiff of pee come the Sunday..and the mist isn't so much mist as a rank steam...sounds just like my memory of the gents at Wrigley Field for the season opener
