If you want to do do nuts, always follow the golden rules:-

1. Make sure you know when to stop.
2. Don't hit someone else's car.

To quote Clint Eastwood: 'a man's gotta know his limitations'. (This is also true of women as well!).

I think that this weekend the power and handling of these cars obviously threw a number of people with very public results.....

TVR's are obviously powerful and capable sportscars, and proper handling of these cars does require practice and an element of skill and co-ordination.

I thought that the weekend was an excellent, excellent, excellent, brilliant, excellent event, and apart from the obvious plonker, I did see a few other people doing things in these cars that obviously they were not quite ready for! (and I ain't talking about sex either!).

Peer pressure, getting caught up in the atmosphere, showing off, too much sun????.

Somebody mentioned to me that next year maybe it should be held on an airfield or track I think that would be an excellent idea.

Long live the BBWF but let's also do it safely.
