Aston Martin Chairman David Richards says that Prodrive, his rather spiffy racing car company, is just possibly going to think about entering Formula One next year. There must be a chance that Prodrive will brand themselves as Aston Martin, and given they are tied to Gulf for their current Le Mans campaign, does that mean we would get Gulf coloured F1 cars? Ooohhh.... I hope so.
Spank enjoying, son-of-Nazi sympathisers Mosley is planning for up to 3 more teams next year, so we could get up to 26 cars on the grid and it’s never bad news to get more cars in a race.
Anyhoo....
Occulomency & clan have just returned from Portmeirion after the first visit of the year. Stayed in Belvedere for the first time. Nearly, but not quite, as nice as Cliff House, but it has good views of the Village and Estuary. The Hotel was as flawless as ever and Castell Deudraeth has improved. Trouble is, the break wasn'tlong enough so we'll have to go back later in the year.
Finally, the Government has failed to persuade Occulomency to trade in the Jaguar for a less polluting car.

Did you see the Jim Clark Documentary by Stewart Jr? Interesting to see a.) cars starting off more than 2 abreast b) Clarks tactic of driving off into the distance, c) just how dangerous it was back then and d) no matter how much they tried just how little there was that interesting about him as a person as opposed to the 60's icon. Enjoyed it though....

Gulf Colours are passée now.
The only car they should be seen on is a GT40.
