and Direct from the front line.............
"We go out of the studio now to our fearless reporting team on the front-line right in the thick of the action. Over to you Conan".
"Thanks Des. Well as you can see we have had breakfast and mine consisted mainly of orange juice and a mouthful of something I ate and drank last night. Damn this heartburn!
We are here in the middle of the most amazing 8-fest. Our insipid reporting team of Tony (the camera), Darren (load carrying) and me CtL the (good looking hunky) reporter. Surrounded by 8 of all kinds our current favourite....
The S8 with a V10. We get a ride in this later! 
Highlights so far include, the 2 1/2 hours sleep in the first 40. Not being worried by seeing 140 on our speedometers for extended periods and the impromptu party last night after dinner illuminated by headlights, entertained by Mr Bose and lubricated by Ozo and Vodka from the boots of 2 8s.
See the slide show here.
More later.
Back to you in the studio des!"
