Jim, you could be my twin in another life. Everything you have said right down to the football.
I know that there are some pretty informed people on this site and I would be the first to say that I have not got half as much knowlege on the sport but I have loved it for a long time.
The one I always get is ...... ' Oh formula 1. All they do is go round and round in a circle.'
Eh ... hem. I told you my knowlege is not that great but guys please enlighten me. Is there an oval circuit on the F1 calender? Lol.
