Especially if we find out Tesco made the engines (like on the Cotswold meet) ;)

Can't do next Sunday, busy on the FoSW. When I can do the quiz, I'll let you know.

Cleverest HST fan? Well there's only two people in the competition really! One person dedicated to HSTs!

LMAO! :D :D. Was it Blears he asked something 12 times (which hasn't been surpassed either by him or John Humphreys). As for Perkins making engines too... who's the daddy?

Think I win the prize for most miles on a HST this weekend though.

Sheffield - Derby (MML), New Street - Bristol Parkway (Virgin Adex (Picc. - Newquay)), and Bristol Parkway - Pembroke Dock and return.

Nice bit of HST thrash. :lol: :D
