Apparently there are rumors in MN that James Thompson might be racing for team halfords and they might be running diesel cars.
Also apparently Rob Collard should be back for the whole season
Cheers for that!Quote:

Having 'backing' from a manufacturer is slightly different to having their 'approval'!Quote:

But until they officially announce their intentions... who knows? Lets' hope so.
He was lined-up to do a full season this year, but it never happened!Quote:

He didn't disgrace himself at Thruxton.
Don't know. Had a big shunt in one of the races going for a gap that wasn't there!Quote:

It would be great if some of the costs came down then we would see many, many cars on the grid - if this going to happen? NO the costs are going the other way, super tourer days!
Well done to Gio and Vauxhall, and good luck Matt for 08!
I hope to see the following guys next year in the BTCC: Paul O'Neil, Oli Wilkinson, Stefan Hodgetts, Jonny Adam and Darrelle Wilson! What does everyone think to that?
Aye he didnt, no points but he did plenty to put him in the frame for a decent mid-grid drive, maybe at GR Asia or Motorbase perhapsQuote:
