Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Okay, fair enough I'm officially stoopid :oops:

But in my defence, you do have to go to another page to get that option, and that means finding the hidden (not underlined) hyperlink on the page that Nobby links to.

It ain't much of a defence, but it's the best i can come up with.....



....I'll get me coat

By fer now,

I must admit, it was a bit like a nun's snatch but I had an added incentive for finding it........ being able to call you stupid. :-D

yeah the link could have been better.......so heres some more details,

The team will be opening the doors of its Brackley headquarters to 5000 lucky members of the public to raise money for its two team charities - Helen & Douglas House* based in Oxford and Stepping Stones Pre-School** in Brackley. The Honda Racing F1 Team’s Jenson Button, Christian Klien and Mike Conway will be in attendance, along with Super Aguri F1 Team race driver and former Honda test driver Anthony Davidson. Star guest for the day is the legendary Murray Walker, renowned F1 commentator and the Honda Racing F1 Team ambassador for the past two seasons. A whole range of exciting activities are lined up including an exclusive behind-the-scenes look around the factory, pit stop demonstrations, F1 simulators plus special activities for children including electric racing cars, a huge scalextric set, face painting and competitions. Murray Walker will be hosting Q&As with the drivers, with live music also on the main stage throughout the day. Team partner Laverstoke Park, one of the UK’s leading organic farms, will be on-site throughout the day providing the same organic farm produce as enjoyed by the Honda F1 Team at all the European Grand Prix circuits. *Helen & Douglas House based in Oxford provides respite and end of life care for children and young adults with life-shortening conditions, as well as support and friendship for their families. The charity aims to add “life to years” through respite care in attractive and fun surroundings, treatment of distressing symptoms, end of life care, family support and education. It costs just under £4 million per annum to run Helen & Douglas House, the vast majority of which comes from voluntary sources. www.helenanddouglas.org.uk **Stepping Stones Pre-School is a non-profit making charity which has an outstanding reputation for providing educational pre-school and playgroup childcare in Brackley since 1969. By 2007, Stepping Stones aims to be relocated to a new purpose-built, friendly and caring environment, from where it will offer extended childcare and education throughout the day to children aged from two and a half to eleven from Brackley and the surrounding area. www.steppingstonespreschool.org.uk

I think that there are millions of us who fancy ourselves as an F1 driver.

Most of us have no hope. :(
