Doyle has done a good job in the Clios, so he could do quite well in the Civic.

Well as we talk about one team coming in to the BTCC have we seen the end to Martyn Bell? I hope not but his car is for sale here: http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listin..._wtccbtcc.html

What does everyone think? Heard of a few new guys coming in but we wont know till a bit closer to March 08.

Bell has said previously he wants to upgrade to a BMW 320si E90 for next year and I guess selling his current car will help partially fund the purchase.

Yeah Martyn hopes to run himself and Kelvin Burt in a pair of E90 320SI so I would read this as positive news to that happening rather than Bell leaving the series.

Andrew Jordan's Clio for sale in Autosprout today. Two car Integra team with his old man next year as rumoured a few posts ago?

lol I came on here to say that!

Its got to be hasnt it, as mikes said hes keeping his and andrews doing a decent job in clios.

Yeah, its the obvious conclusion. Mike must have bought Dave Pinkney's old Integra from 2006 to run Andy in alongside him.

So that's

2005 Neal 2006 M.Jordan 2007 M.Jordan 2008 ?
2005 Eaves 2006 Pinkney 2007 - 2008 A.Jordan
2005 Howell 2006 Howell 2007 Blanckley/Taylor 2008 Taylor
2006 Neal 2007 George 2008 George
2006 Shedden 2007 - 2008 M.Jordan

Is what I'd guess at.

I'm confused. Why would he have bought the ex-Shedden car and the Pinkney car also?

isnt the john george car the car dave pinkney used in 2006
