I know its being unveiled at the show, but I just wondered if anyone knew.Drove past his place the other day, and I saw all the b&q stuff had been taken off the transporter.

What happened there then ? I thought the deal was a 2 year deal ?

Blimey, thinking about it, you are right. :Timeflies:

Hey ho, lets just hope the team are back out this year.Any idea why the split from Rune ?

Im guessing a control type issue.ie, Im not getting the bits I deserve/want ?

I think most of what happened at Mantorp is best kept to those involved. A business relationship ran its course, both parties have gone their own ways.

My information is that Andy plans to be back stronger than ever...

All will be revealed in due course, I am sure

Jon, I wasnt dirt digging, just curious.I always felt that Andy was more of his own man than a player with Rune, if you get my drift.

God only knows how he finds the budget though.

Best of luck to him I say, although at this point of the season Im unsure how many big names are running TF this year ?

Is he planning to run the Lantz/Svensson injector, I wonder?

When the car was in the that guise when it crashed he ran that Shark Fin injector.

He has ran 4.88 with that injector!

Jolly amusing it all was too - everyone pretending to be in suspense while one of the crew was walking around with his old B&Q jacket unzipped and the Lucas crew shirt clearly visible on display underneath laugh

Someone politely pointed it out to him about 10 minutes before the unveiling and he quickly zipped up but by then the cat was out of the bag as Les and several other people from Lucas were seen around the stand.

Does look good though!
