Never go out for the afternoon and leave your 13 yr old to " clean Mums car" Got back and he has used the green side of a kitchen sponge! The bloody car ( Mini Cooper British Racing Green) looks like Torville and Dean have been all over it scratches everywhere none deep enough to get your finger nail in but it looks shocking. Any ideas for a quick fix, what products are best, need to get the stuff over the counter somewhere tomorrow as she is chopping it in on Tuesday for a new one. Thanks Pete

Pasted from SWRT Rally Bulletin SS5: 1425hrs Ortega 2 (29.66km) After a refuelling stop, the drivers tackled Ortega, the longest of the day’s repeated stages. In an extremely close result, Manfred Stohl was fastest and claimed his first stage win of the rally by a slender 0.1sec from Sebastien Loeb who was second. Chris Atkinson was the quickest Subaru driver, and set the fourth-fastest time. But the biggest story of SS5 took place after the finish, on the road section to SS6, when a loss of engine oil forced rally leader Petter Solberg out of the day’s competition. Solberg’s Impreza was recovered to the service area for a thorough inspection before a decision on whether or not to re-start will be taken. Fastest time: Stohl (Citroen) 16:58.2 Un-bloody-believable! Pete

I've got them at 25/1 to win the trophy so looking good. Lets hope we don't do a Benfica and cock it up .........but we should be OK. Can't get any tickets as I have nothing on my Fancard this year. The only game I have got to was Carling Cup against Arsenal, maybe its better if I saty away I was at the Chelski Semi in 05 ( the best atmosphere ever) can only believe its going to be even better this year. Fingers crossed Come on you Red Men! PS Have you seen how much flights to athens are!
