Wooah! Never saw that coming on the homepage! A good move for John and the fact he's been "keggy" foot brake training shows how determined he is.

YAY :D:D the groundstaff can lock away their mowers when the BTCC hits town then :p
On a serious note, am glad John is back, and in newer machinery, hopefully he'll be a lot more competitive, and it'll ignite that flame he seemed to lose half way through last season too :)
Good luck to the fella, i hope he does get his personal target of 10 points, and it'll be good for him having a team mate like Owy to learn from

not surprised John was away rallying, he does seem to like gravel more than tarmac:D:D:D
only joking John, great to see you back in BTCC. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Knockhill, really nice guy, loves his racing and has loads of respect for the marshals. Think he knows most of us by now :D:D

Absolutely fantastic news, I got a bit worried when his old car went up for sale. Me and my family will be shouting for the Cornish boy at Thruxton.

Brilliant news. I must admit I didnt see it coming either. It will be weird to see him in a different liveried car as I am so used to see him in a black or red car. But good luck to him and hope to see him in some good midfield battles. :D

Have to say that one came leftfield. Anyway, great news BTCC needs characters like John and Pinks et al. I will also be travelling from Cornwall and will give the old fella a wave from the Club grandstands.:)

Superb news, It ain't all about what's going on at the front. I hope to see him nearer the sharper end of things and learning a bit from his team mate. Team Sunshine.co.uk are defo going for the most popular drivers on the grid to raise their profile. ell done and the very best of luck, everyone loves an under-dog.:)

The homepage story does indicate that Humphries says they have the capabilities to run three cars. So you never know!

There is, indeed, a third shell (the ex-Matt Neal car, completely re-furbished) which, like the two "runners", is owned by Team sunshine.co.uk (and not Tech-Speed). It has the potential to be built into a third car and I'm sure that Tech-Speed have the capability to run all three on behalf of Team sunshine.co.uk, should the need arise.

Hi all i just wanted to say thanks for all your messages of support , I am really looking forward to the new season , it is going to be great having a team mate again especially one as good as Paul. The cars look great Sunshine really do have the best Integra's and i am very confident in what the Techspeed guys can do for me .
So roll on the new season and as always come and say hello when you see me at the track . John

It will be good to see you out again, and putting my marshaling hat on I hope I do not see you LOL. Hopefully will see you in the paddock though.
Good Luck

It's relatively easy to get the manpower if you have the Money. The money is usually the thing that stands in the way. I'd say four cars is very unlikely though.

Maybe Paul should change his surname to Ringo? :p

Just wondering if anybody (or John if he reads this) is going to have a web site following his progression through the season. I know his current website is http://www.teamjag.co.uk/ but don't know if this is still going to be used.
Thanks
