Cheers and keep up the good work

We can't all speak the queens english.

I thought it was great. I'm amazed how many breakdowns there are

fair point, it is a source of some merriment, but he is a cracking commentator, the best there is, IMHO, aand a big improvement on previous productions

If you could hear the much loved Tiff mange some of the euriopean names at events you'd get another giggle.......

tunisia was an incredible race, esp for evo, the teams went hell for leather in the endurance race , whioch had an impact on the sunday sprint....food for thought re strategy.....but I thiought as a spectacle it was outstanding, it was close to shore ( WHISPER THAT QUIETLY) and some of the overtaking was amazing.....


we;eeve had a pronounciation class for messers sanborn, needel and Anscell



all are improving ))


for christ's sake, don't waste the beer

Jim, it must be coming up to your first anniversary at P1 any day now. How's your year been?

Have things turned out as you expected? What do you reckon are the major challenges for the next 12 months?

Thanks for your input here. You know you're never going to please everyone, but getting straight answers from the top has been great and is very much appreciated.

That goes for me too - and P1 has given me a constant source of stories for the magazine as well - Thanks Jim!

ps hope to meet you in Portugal, sorting out the details next week.
