Big thumbs up for Jimmy too reporting/ photographing and racing hats off to you mate .

[R666REW]

any idea where grant came peeps????

[barnyard]

grant qualified B7 after some speedo issues in todays qualifiers although i'm not sure where he finished.

Brian had a disagreement with the fence along side the straight i think the XXX4 made it a total of 25M max but it was spectacular.

[David Church]

Phew, glad it's all over!!!! But I had a great time, and the DC vodka will be flowing tonight

[YoungChazz]

They finish on Saturday so everyone can drink Chianti and eat spaghtti, sleep in on the Sunday, and then go home.

Danny, did you notice no Losis but two X - 5s in the Show???

Congrats to Neil on the win, and well done to the rest of the U.K lads

Is it just me though, or has Neil cocked everything up for the rest of us mortals? how can I convince my wife, that I need to spend hundereds of pounds on the newest, latest shiney thing, when some bloke wins the Euros with a boggo plastic car

ha ha was just thinking the same, (not that i have a wife) its not about how much you spend on a car.

I wonder if Neil will be using the B-max for the last two nationals, thought I read before the car was going straight back to Japan so guess its back to using the super-bling BX Worlds.

Of course we don't know how much the B-max is going to cost, maybe its £600 worth of non-bling car!!!

P.s. thanks for all your hard effort on the coverage Jimmy, you're a star!

That'll be my xxx4. What did he do to the poor thing?????

It's just a small scratch, you won't know the difference by the time you get it back, other than it will be gleaming.

PS that motor you had in there was too fast (not many people have heard me make that sort of statment before), for the track.
Thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it.

Mick asked for it, for the Southport National, but it clashes with a Japanese national. He expects one in the next month, as there are only 2 cars at the moment.

Mick hinted that it should be around the £200 mark, for the initial kit then there will be a BMaxx special version out with factor shocks ect.

What about Mr Cockerill - top ten AGAIN, nice one Tom!

"Neil could be driving a shoe box with wheels and still win". I thought that was just a figure of speech to indicate m4d skillz. I don't think anyone had expected that he'd actually go out and do it

Where the hell is Preddy and what have you done with him?

[AaronR]

Well done Team Yokomo!

Someone call bmag and tell him to buy a bmax!

[Danny McGee]

The 4 holes that the front gear cover attaches to on the chassis are bust, and the front tower. When you see a picture of it, and i'm sure you will as the car was back in the pit lane being photographed, before I had even come down off the rostrum, it looks worse than it actually is.

I'm sure I've seen Danny do that to a car or two himself in the past...

definatly .

What a few days it has been, have really enjoyed it, as always at these events you meet new people and make new friends which is what makes it so nice, wanted to say thanks to phil booth and his wife for giving me a lift to the track from the airport which saved me a nice taxi fair and also to roger and chris smith for allowing me to jump in for a lift for the time i was there, saved me a load of grief and also had a good laugh as well with the pair of them. roll on next year as cant wait to go again although want to do both classes this time

How did ya get on niggs?
