see why below.......Managed 100 track miles until it absolutely chucked it
down late afternoon.

The list, in order of a walk down the pit lane and paddockthis isn't an
anorak thing, honest, I was just stunned at the cross section of cars on
track and felt I had to write them all down as I'd NEVER remember them
all!!)
