A nice day :-)

<self-indulgent mode> What a day today... 1) Cloudless skies all day and 80 degrees; 2) The first interesting Cup Final in years (what a striker Michael Owen is); 3) The hilarious rhyming presenters for the Eurovision Song Contest (winners: Estonia)... ...and... ...4) Sub 2 minutes at Rouen in the Ferrari :-D *FINALLY!* OK, so it's pretty small beer (someone did a 56 in a Cooper there in a race I was in last night), but who cares? </self-indulgent mode> -- David.

Show off! My best is 2:00.38, in the Lotus. I hadn't noticed those three (and a bit) tenths, they'll have to go, Monaco can go on hold for a while... -- Tony Whitley GPLRank +1.42

in the > second qualifying round by... the Met Police!) I think we deserve a bit of sour grapes ;-) you can't deny Newcastle are a massive club at least top 6 in the country if not top 3 but we haven't won anything since 1969 (UEFA cup) and nothing domestically since 1955 (FA cup our last of 6) and no title since 1927 (last of 4). Name me another club in the big 10 that hasn't won anything in the last decade let alone the last 3. Yet we can fill our 52000 stadium with season ticket holders and still have a waiting list even after 3 seasons finishing in the bottom half with a crap team :( Anyway I hate arsenal don't you? I thought everyone did northern or not ;) Alex

Well actually we are in financial terms (turnover) the 3rd biggest in the country and I think about 7th in Europe and we are likely to move back up to 2nd this year because of the expanded stadium, and there was only ever one sleeping giant and we have yet to fully wake ;) Alex

Thanks for the gee-up, I managed to put a good (race) lap together in the Ferrari et voila - 1:59.67. My first lap in the Lotus after that was 2:00.03 but it went downhill rapidly when I tried to push a bit harder :-( I didn't try the Honda (wimp). > -- > Tony Whitley > GPLRank +1.42GPLRank +1.02 now. Surely I can shave .03 off somewhere, then a l l I have to do is find 1.00 elsewhere...
