Which one was the "larger", definitely more laid back, but possibly more talented Hayman, James or Matt?

I've followed both of those threads, there are some fantastic photos.
I have a copy of a 1981 Autosport special on the Metro in motorsport. I really should scan it and stick it up here. They also test the modified metros available before the introduction of the MG's

6 of the 8 Mini Se7ens in the Thruxton last corner video clip above ran OAP Race Engines (7-times Mini Se7en Champions, 6-times Mighty Mini Champions) - Oz who built the engines and sent me this photo below is standing on the far right.....he reckons probably getting ready to hear the drivers excuses.
The three OAP powered Mini Se7ens below were Dave Braggins (Blue), Micky Bray (Yellow), Steve Bell (Red). Sadly Steve and Micky are no longer with us.
