I've said it before and I'll say it again - seriously big well done on getting that block+box out of the car. I seriously thought you were wasting your time but I am happy to have been proven wrong.

What happened to the other two (missing) teams though?

And they would probably have done it in 15mins had they been able to get the bonnet off quicker

what a top laugh the scrapheap challenge was. How flasher didnt lose his fingers is still a miracle. Next year I will take a load of business cards with me just in case.

Patrick, great to meet you after all the stories from Mr Agger and Flasher. quality laugh - be good to see you when we do the karting day and may I also say a thank youf or the prize mate.

Having seen the way it came out I dont hink it would go back in quite so quick though!

Well done lads. Great entertainment watching you all.

The exhaust removal and Gemini kicking out the windows were my favorite bits.

Shnozz, ever thought of applying for a postion in an F1 pit team?

Scrapheap challenge was great fun. Of course, we only came second because we were lumbered with a great big Peugeot 406 instead of a flimsy Escort!

Well done lads!



Edited to add: Our engine was one bolt away from falling out! Another 3 mins and glory would have been ours! Oh yes!
