Mikko, don't be so serious, I was only winding you up.
No one else went further in June 08 than you, I was being sarcastic.

There was not much left of the lower gears when I opened the drive back home... But we got third!!!!  |

I know, Jon. I read and understand what you say-also the sarcastic things.
I´m not so serious as it may look. The problem is to express your self in a foreign language. Sometimes you loose the message in the words.

This is such good news not only because there will be – I think – 50 race teams taking part, hopefully including myself, but the ripple effects down through the marine industry can only do good. New boats, new engines, new fitting out costs, rebuilt boats, rebuilt engines and so on it all helps the industry during this recession and of course those marinas which will be visited by the race will also benefit so Dean, Mandy and their RB11 team have to be congratulated on taking on this huge challenge.
The leg from Milford Haven to Oban (300 odd miles) is going to be a challenge having to do it in one day but, hey, what an adventure 
The following is part of a post made by John Fuller back in September 2006 and I apologise in advance to John for “messing” with his original post but I thought that it applied then and it applies now.
www.roundbritainrace.co.uk
This will hopefully be an outstanding event, and go down in history in the way the last three did. It's not often people stick their necks out and take on a mammoth organising job like this, so we need to really get behind this, and help it to be THE event of the 'noughties'.
Can't wait!!
JF
