Yes I did.. I didn't know the Cheshire connection..

So, Going back to the original question. Who has Howell been talking to?

Motorbase Performance is the obvious one. AFAIK no other current/proposed BTCC team meets the criteria.

All ran new build 320si touring cars and West Coast Racing [Sweden] HAVE new build 2007 spec cars.

So that means that any team could have a BMW if they've got the money. Which means that the rumoured shortage of S2000 cars isn't quite the problem it has been made out to be

There isn't a major shortage in Super 2000 cars, just a shortage in variety available.

Alfa Romeo 156 and BMW 3-Series are the only easily available cars. I believe this is because because manufacturers were/are willing to sell the cars as a whole self-sustainble package at a reasonable price.

Also if you go to Denmark or Sweden you can also get Audi A4s and Peugeot 407s. There are 8 potential S2000 manufacturers: SEAT, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Honda, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Audi. So I can't believe there isn't a variety if you keep your eyes peeled.

There will be no Collard Racing in an MG or any other car. As far as I know Rob is still in line for a WSR seat.

bout as much as I can say at the moment.

Rob is not in contention for a drive with the team in 2007.

As has been said elsewhere, WSR have TWO Super 2000 BMWs.

Car 1 will be driven by Colin Turkington

Car 2 will be driven by Dan Eaves, Gavin Smith or Gareth Howell.
