I tried to establish who were the pros as I wanted a comparison against the privateers, which I thought was fair enough. From the reaction, anyone would think I was questioning their parentage. Even Andy F asked what difference did his day job make ffs :roll:

I'll just treat it as a day out this time. :)
Aye its good to know where you've come in relation to your 'peers'. Although some of the clinic sponsored cars are private entries I think, proably spent a lot in the past there, and may have got some freebies of them in return for sponsorship?

I class anyone tied in with a comapny to be a pro, yes it may be a 'private' car, but if they get parts at cost or free, along with labour then its difficult to compete witht that.

My sentiment precisely :)
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away!
