Nice pic, Maxx

I'm hoping the pics I took of you in the Fiesta from the pit garage roof turn out as well

Chris, I thought you were racing the Maestro at Rockingham this weekend - Oh well, you look happy anyway - how did you get on?

The Maestro is out next weekend at Snetterton. The Mini did pretty well at Rockingham, but now needs a new exhaust possibly (after going for a trip across the chicane!) and something doing to the coolant system, because the water temp reached over 120' C on Saturday

I qualified 11th (out of about 22) - not bad for the first visit to the Rock for 2 years, and with no testing. Just a shame I started the race in neutral ! I thought I was in gear, but the gearstick was not all the way in. Anyway, that made me flat last by turn 1, but after a bit of aggressive overtaking (no contact though), and dodging other people's mistakes, I was up to 10th by halfway round the lap. I eventually finished 9th after a long battle with the lead pack.

That was a good comeback, but in race 2 - Declan McDonnell won from last place on the grid! I started 9th (from race 1)and got involved in a 6 car battle for 7th place. The leaders broke away as we were holding each other up. Those 6 places were still a bit of a lottery as we entered the last corner, and I eventually finished 12th, 1/1000th of a sec behind 11th place, and a further 3/10ths off 10th - there was a 3-way photo finish at the line! Oddly, the guy who finished 10th was punted from behind by the 11th place man after he missed a gear at the final corner, and that bump probably accounted for the 3/10ths

And now my neck is sore from all those left-hand bends

Chris - my Peril said that I had to let you know that he noticed that Voggie's 10-10ths sticker on the driver's side is wearing away. He says that Voggie needs a new one.

Hi Christine. I have a Peril too. He's a funky bright yellow MG-ZR. He was at Silverstone - ask your brother about my car. He's seen it.

Oh no, TWO Yellow Perils - I have enough trouble with having one in my life ;-)

Sounds funky though - you'll have to show him to me next time you're around.

Neil's Peril is a girl apparently.
