I think this is our very own PHer pentoman

He wrote about his experiences in the earlier rounds here

Congratulations Russell.

Wahey! Nice one Russell.

[tycho]

Well done matey!!

[danger mouse]

Nice one Pentoman!

I see you haven't updated your profile yet.

I would have had them photoshop that photo though, we all know you registration no. now!

Just goes to show that doing things well and not being a numptie can payoff, even in the real world.

Congrats!

I was there too! Fancy that two Piston head members in the final.

I was also in Russell's group for the first round and we both it made it through till the top 16 but I then fell at the final hurdle. I'm pleased Russell won as he was the best driver there that I saw and a very friendly guy. - Well done Russell!

If you've got this weeks Autocar I'm in a pic whereing a cream jumper refered to as part of the anti lock generation.

Congratulations and enjoy the car.

[pentoman]

Wow..! My own write-up on pistonheads!!

Thanks for all the congratulations, I've been pretty busy communicating with Seat HQ about getting the car, and test driving other cars, so haven't read here for a short while.

I'm probably going to go ahead and sell the Seat.. nice car though it is (with full spec), so check the classifieds section

The 'female instructors' were all very nice, though sadly none were quite young enough to be competing in this competition, if you know what I mean.

Froth - I did wonder if any other members might be there.. good to meet you and I'll let everyone know if I buy either a Mercedes 190E-16v or 500E as mentioned in the article

thanks again guys!
