Oh, that's good, there were some rumours they were going to switch to an Insignia (bought from Thorne).

Not that I have anything against the Insignia, but variety is good.


There may be 7 Insignia's on the grid.

I know the Insigna haven't had a lot of track time but I can't see the potential or reasons why teams would invest into the car?

You know, it was believable until I got to this stat as the REAL figure is so much higher than 12... :lol:

Plus, this one needs a little editing...

You know I never show up in the end of season forum awards so I'll take it :lol:

Brands restored a lot of my faith in the championship as the right guys won in the end.

Lets just hope not as much piss is taken in 2013.
Plato will always be the panto villain but I resolve from now on to not let his obvious theatrics get to me.

There's always an evil one, Sir Killalot, Wolf from Gladiators, Vinnie Jones and of course Jason bloody Plato.
All for the show, I guess.

Chris James has taken to twitter to mock Pirtek, who had a member of the team arrested yesterday.

We all know by now that Chris James has about as much dignity as a turd.

That's being a little unkind about the turd, don't you think?

That's true. Apologies to excrements worldwide.

I see the Neate discussion is still bubbling over on BTCC.net/forums
