I wonder which would I choose, driving a BTCC car and taking the wife's name or being a jealous internet hero like yourself?
Stick with option 3 and choose to be outraged for no reason at everything you read on the internet instead... between that and making inaccurate assumptions regarding anyone's level of apparent jealousy it should keep you busy enough inbetwern those marathon w
k sessions in front of your laptop every night. 
Getting things slightly back on track - Ash Sutton confirmed at Subaru. Should go well if he is allowed to fight Plato. Unbelievably for me I called it right a couple of pages ago. Still leaves a plum seat if Scott isn't driving, assuming Plato and Cole are in.
Great to see Lloyd in a decent car, hopefully for the full year this time. Aron Smith is good for race wins if he can stay ahead of his ego. BTW, have I missed Collard being confirmed?

You referring to yourself? You were the one with the original non funny remark which stank of jealousy
Was it aimed in any way at you? No was it fk. So unless you're his secret boyfriend why are you so angry about a comment on the internet. There's 31 other drivers who are mostly fine, Smith just happens to have a face that looks like you could just slap it repeatedly whether he's a touring car driver or a chav from the local council estate the face would be the same. It's a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard.

Collard hasn't been confirmed at WSR yet, and there was a rumour that BMR had been talking to him about a drive possibly at a discounted rate as they wanted a rear wheel drive experienced driver in at least one of the cars. How true that is though is anybodies guess. I'd be surprised if he wasn't in a BMW again though. Great to see Lloyd in a decent car, hopefully for the full year this time.

It looks like Collard is spending the silver on his boys this year. Ricky was in an M6 GT3 at Bathurst at the weekend!DanielSan said:

Guys, polite word if I may, I suggest you BOTH put your handbags away now or you'll lose your rights to post on the thread, seems you're both intent on ruin the thread for everyone else.k.

Has his son been taken on as some sort of BMW young driver arrangement? Sure he did a test in a DTM car or something similar also not long ago? They clearly see some potential in him even past the cash it seems. Will be a shame if he's not on the grid though, he's always entertaining.

Which got stuffed into the wall in qualifying with a little help from another car. Was out of the race before it started due to too much damage. Shame, all that way to Oz for nothing. I watched a few chunks of it on YouTube - Nismo had the TV feed running kindly as it wasn't on any UK channels. Love that track, the 1000kms has gotta be on my bucket list along with the Indy 500 and Le Mans.Randomly, does anyone know if Motorbase are running the Shredded Wheat livery all year or will it be a different cereal for every meeting? Would be fun.
