My previous post was written just a wee bit
tongue in cheek as I will continue to provide longer and more comprehensive rally
reports than anyone else, but what I was getting at was the fact that many more
folk read the 'News & Gossip' bits than read the main reports.
Which begs the question, is there an appetite for rallying's version of
'Hello' or 'OK' magazines? Should I ask Piers Morgan to contribute some
insightful and tasteless material? Should I introduce an article on hand care and recommend skin cream (I use
Nivea Vital Multi Active Anti-Age Day Cream with natural Soy Extract myself!)
for those ill-treated, calloused and tool-worn, Swarfega and cold water rinsed service
crew hands? Do we need a regular photographic feature on rally drivers pictured
in various home/garage settings wearing different designer labels from their
wardrobes, do you prefer Alpinestars to Sparco? And what about teeth whitening
kits? Synthetic or two-pack? Or should we indulge in celebrity 'scratch and
sniff' pics as portrayed by German football coach Joachim Löw? Or maybe not, our
lot could put the footballers to shame.
Speaking of drivers, here's a couple of pics I came across while looking
for summat else. The majority of you will get the 'who' - but will you get the 'when'
and 'where'? And if you get these right, I've got another I'm holding back till
I decide whether to publish or not. I could get into awfy trouble if I do.
