5 years? That's a bit optimistic isn't it Eldred? :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
Sheesh. I used to be quite pleased with that 1:29 at Silverstone. Back to the track, I suppose (I think you can spend too much time in the garage). (BTW, I don't know many fellow Brits who pronounce it "Silver-stun" as the manual claims). -- David. "After all, a mere thousand yards - such a harmless little knoll, really." (Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh)
: (BTW, I don't know many fellow Brits who pronounce it "Silver-stun" as : the manual claims). I've never heard anyone pronounce it any other way. I've certainly never heard anyone say "Silverstone" to rhyme with thrown or flown. Perhaps it's a regional thing? -- Richard G.

Must be - I live in Worcestershire, and everyone I know rhymes it with "flown". But then, we're a bit weird down this way - must be all those damsons. -- David. "After all, a mere thousand yards - such a harmless little knoll, really." (Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh)
I just heard Alain DeCadena (sp) say "Siva-stun" on Speedvision yesterday, and he's pretty British.
