Some confused facts and chronology (or abysmal typing/proof checking?) in that tale.
I particularly liked the (then) BSCC going from Group N to Group 3 to Group 5. Hello? Planet Earth?

Yes some issues with the timeline but I don't think stuff like that is proof read for the sake of t'internet publishing. Safe to say 99% of those reading it won't notice. Been trying to get an interview with Neal for a while if anyone knows him?

Hello Pete
Let me know what you've got in mind and I can sort.
I know Katie from school days, Matts ex wife and she still keeps in touch with Steve

I have tried to speak to Steve about minis via Matt... Its a bit of a tough gig.
But I am happy to try again on your behalf if Chewie has no luck

Doing an article on Rachel's '129 LNP' so just wanted some input. I know Steve's not really one for nostalgia but he popped up on my Sporting Minis facebook page recently and wrote a great post about the '67 British GP so he still remembers it all I'm sure.

Cheers fellas.
