News from B&Q!!
It has been announced that John B&Q is in an advanced stage of negotiation to purchase a third division football club. He is currently on his way to a BBC studio to record an interview for this evening's TV news and expects news of the takeover to be announced shortly.
He will continue to participate in the British Touring Car Championship in 2002, and news of the team's drivers, cars and sponsors will be announced in the next couple of weeks. For full news on the above stories, visit the team's website. If you're not sure of the address drop me an email and I'll direct you to it. |

 But Team Honda Integrity Racing???:confused: Obviously the Evening Press weren't that keen on mention B&Q a lot! |

You'll have to visit the website to find out - it's worth it
 Now, was it local TV news or national TV news he's on? |

It has to be York they are in serious trouble and have very few weeks to survive, and they said about 7 days ago that they have interest from someone with a large corporate backer.
What ever happens he will do a better job than Doug Ellis |

I hope that buying the football team doesn't dilute his racing activities!
