Hello All,



Just thought I'd de-lurk for a while to answer Todd's question...

I was at Brooklands and, if I remember rightly, the yellow belongs

to Sue Duncan, a non-netter but a good friend of mine. It is one

of 300 "California" Special editions sold in the UK. The toy is

Sue's "cuddly" MX-5 made specially for her by a friend who makes

soft toys. It's a fabric shell sewn together and stuffed with

whatever you stuff soft toys with. As far as I know it is a

one-off, the only one of its kind in existance.



By the way, my car is the White one you can just see at the end of

a line of five or six cars pulling into the car park right at the

back in the Brooklands car park view. If you look really hard, and

I mean really hard, you might just make out the twin blue stripes.

Sadly this car is no more after being rear-ended on the

Motorway and written off - never mind, (sniff)!



Cheers,



Andy
