Congrats on the win JT ;)

Am still surprised to find you sponsored by Gwynedd Shipping which is a local company to me :confused: Small world :D

[Aussie]

nice one hey

[Mystvxr]

Are these races televised?

Are these races televised?


pretty sure they are as johns car is often fitted with a camera on the roof.

think it's on sky sports chris ????? will get the good lady to ask john and find out:D

[M40COO]

congrats !

[Thorney]

They are televised but Pembrey round isn't sadly, I'll find out when the Snetterton round is on TV.

Gwynned Shipping are actually SImons sponsors not team sponsors, thats why the M3 and the Corsa have WestCoast/Apple on the bonnet not Gwynned.

Very good pics mate yet again

Was good to have you along ;)

[Thorney]

Yeah he's improving.....I just look fat now and not morbidly obese:(

[Macca]

john compared to the main man of pembrey you look like an athlete :D

i have a couple of funny people pics but nothing worth posting as they similar to before. have a couple to post though, will do them in a bit

[dap]

I Really wouldnt want to drive with all those big weights behind me like that !!

I think the rules have been a bit scetchy there JT and it seems The organisers would have been better sticking to the 30k max value rather than letting you race only to be hammered with all that weight.

couldnt you just take one of those big TMS blokes around with you.!!;)

So whats next for the M3 and sport maxx. ?

Oh Im not having a pop its just when we looked at this earlier this year the rules were unclear , as you have found out at expense which I dont think is right ?

How many cars in total on the grid ? so far

[Macca]
