I wish I was but I am 'working'. I've been working that hard that I sent the Beeb a strongly worded email telling them that that their motorsport coverage sucks:
motorsport is bottom of the sport front page and the results of yesterdays Acropolis Rally stages are more important that the unfolding Le Mans race which up to 80 000 Brits are watching IN PERSON.

Okay, time to take a breath.

Incidentally, I was on the A1 this morning (on my way to Lincs Police skid pan , aren't Granada's great) and there were plenty of interesting cars around the Newark/Lincoln turnoffs. Morgans (3 & 4-wheelers, plus4s), Jags (E-types, MkII), Caterhams, Westfields etc. At first I was dead impressed (he'll have to speed up a bit to get to Le Mans for the start). Anyone know what's going on?

Ain't tha the truth, you Suzie Perry tried to persuade the BBC to get more motorbike racing on and was turned down.

Eurosport has had quite good coverage of Le-Mans. Boy are those cars cool.

I agree there is not enough Motorsport coverage on TV I also have to work this weekend so I have recorded the Eurosport coverage which they keep interrupting with Tennis The other problem is, it is sometimes broadcast late at night or a week late. Most of my TVR friends are at the race having a blast
I must go next year in somthing fast

Cheers.
