I turned the tv on the other day and just caught the end of an interview with Andy, what was all that about.

It might have been when Andy was unfortunate to have a meeting with a couple of straw bales, thankfully it was not as bad as it could of been.

I saw your run on the tv Andy, on Sky Sports on Sunday evening. Very impressive! You were 3rd fastest at one stage....
Tony Jardine was commentating and I notice a fair few cockups while he was trying to sound knowledgeable!

He must have Googled 'Andy Robinson' and drag racing cos he said you were Pro Mod champion a few years ago also........ so I guess he was getting his Andy Robinsons mixed up! :lol:

I've seen some footage now, shame he didn't go a bit quicker, maybe he did so on another run that wasn't televised.
