Been going through a stash of Autosports from 1990. Found the National Racing preview booklet, so I now have the dates for all of that year's Honda CRX Challenge rounds.

What years are you interested in?

I have made some burritos for supper.

Just 1990.

I have the whole year's Autosports in a box (I think, maybe one or two missing), along with the aforementioned meeting dates, so I can chase down all the reports. I have the reports for the four races that I *know* Paul did, but I also want to work out who else raced the second Derek Warwick Honda-run car, whether Paul did any other races outside of the four that I know about, and whether the team ran two cars all season long. IIRC Roland Dane was ever-present in the #12 car.

They occasionally appear, by box loads*, at an auctioneers I go to. I'll try sneaking some photos if I see anything.

* Five years worth of more than one publication is a normal lot size.

Appreciate the offer, but don't worry about it xxx My mate with the bookshop has stacks of the things in his stock room, and I can plug any gaps that way.

This was a box was part of a lot that I bagged locally to look stuff up because I can't actually *get* to my own copies without moving half the house first! The downside of having far too many books and magazines...

Apropos the CRX Challenge, I've added another one at Mallory Park to my list of races that Paul did.

Out of 12 rounds that year, Paul did five, Robin Brundle did four, I've got Derek down as doing one and two I don't know. Of the two unknowns, one of them clashed with a round of the British F3 championship, so Paul wouldn't have raced there and most likely Robin was in the car.

Right, time I cleared up the mess on the dining room table and tootled off to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

Can we fit something similar to car seats?
"You have passed a 30mph speed limit, and are travelling ....fif...teen miles per hour too fast. Shock will be administered in 3...2...1..."

I thought something like an electric cattle fence thing but with a variable speed controller .

So how big is this nuclear reactor you built, and is it fusion or fission?
Does it work as it should, will nuclear flasks be your next project.

Is that like a Thermos flask ?

Ditto. Why do I think it could be a mistake. Currently sunny.
