We thought Geronimo had the gig for the closing stages commentary .. Slipping out little nuggets like above may undermine his script ..

I was beside myself with excitement.

Mate, you deserve to be there, certainly more than some.

Hasn't been absolutely confirmed, but Tuesdays seem to have a deep significance in T's life. Apparently, when he were a strapping lad, he fell for the gal down the road, and her mum and dad went out on Tuesdays ....... Trans would wear a purple satin suit and serenade the young lady from under her bedroom window, trouble was, she was on the 19th floor.....

and then he entered into a forced marriage with a girl whose dad owned a marmalade factory, but that didn't last.

Then, by pure chance, he was walking past a bloke who was fixing his car ... and the love affair began.

[geronimo]

and, according to this person who shall remain anonymous, after that, it was pure horsepower and he didn't pursue the fairer sex, unless she had serious knowledge of the internal combustion engine.

What, a beetle? I bet its rear end was dragging a bit...

 

Having said that, I knew a guy once who had put a Chevy V8 in a Morris Minor, with nitro boost and all the rest of it. Street legal, too. He'd had to shift the driving seat back to the back seats to accommodate the engine, which filled the front of the car as well as the engine bay.

Heh! I bet the steering was nice and light - no need for power assist!

[geronimo]

Rumours were flying around that he once built a 4 cylinder straight engine from a tree stump, a few old tables and a radio.

What about a tiddler then .. Can't imagine this will float his boat .. 

 

As you have been dedicated as commentator for the finale of this utterly gripping clash of the ex-pat titans can you tell us who the polls , fortune tellers and luckee charm sellers forsee as the Victor .. ( and where are all the dirty tricks and mud slinging we were promised ) ..

Unfortunately, I know not of the events much sooner than you, and merely being the relayer of information, in no way gives me much of an insight into the dirty dealings, and regarding the mud slinging, it will shortly be upon us!
