Much as that picture curls the corners of my mouth I bet you a $1 that the brake lights on the TR7 weren't working. [:D]

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

whilst you are on youtube you'll see the qualify'ing round which is just as tasty as the TR leads for most of the race only for lets say some over exuberant driving gets the better of him..

I was there, camping with a load of mates for the weekend. We were there not to support the TRs though but as part of the Hathaways team followers. Great days great fun.

Best thing though was the roar of the TR8's

Cheers
