Commentators Mouth

Right then, here goes.........
As we're all about to launch off the line I thought it would be a good idea to start this now.....
If any of you have any interesting, preferably hillclimb related funnies or just general who's doing what that might be worth a mention this year, please feel free to post them here or even private message me throughout the season as you see fit.
Those of you who know me will know that I'm probably more interested in the laughability factor of the story and intend no harm to anyone if using the information supplied so if you think it's too personal, don't mention it.....

Well I'm not sure if it's the sort of thing you're after, but we do have a 'fan' who often attaches himself to unwilling spectators at Gurston. He's really into F1, and despite the fact that we've expressed our dislike for it, he will bang on about it without a thought.

But where he really scores is in displaying his lack of appreciation for the art of hill climbing. In the past he's referred to Graeme Wight jr as, "..the guy in the red car" or asked how 'William' Toet was getting on. Sadly the real howlers are lost in the mists of my befuddled memory.

But what really took the biscuit was when Lynne Whitehead went off at Ashes in the MP50 one time. It looked quite nasty, but all this idiot could say was a series of disparaging remarks about women drivers. It was a waste of time explaining about the stuck throttle of course.

Reminds me of another 'fan' I knew (sadly this one was a friend too), who turned up at Castle Combe just in time to see Gerry Marshall annihiliate the field in his Aston V8. Said 'fan' watched for a while and then, nodding towards Gerry going round Quarry, said, "That bloke's useless - he's sideways most of the time!" Priceless.

Thanks to our trusty commentators for keeping this thread alive. From what I heard commentating is going to the dogs, Hall Green appears to be the place to go. Or am I mistaken!!

P*** off the pair of you.

I was sure the lady said Hall Green, not Paul Green.


Iranoff the deaf.
