Hi Peter,

Of course it would be good PR for Bosch as with Clive last year (in my opinion a very worthy winner). This thread was started by saying that 9 out of the top 20 semi finalist's were UKAT members, that is good PR for your forum's, everybody wants a good PR story.

But where do you stop the affiliation links, along with other finalists I am a member of the IMI and Frank Massey Network both of which are also involved in the judging this year. I also have Snap On tools and use NGK spark plugs, Comma oil and occaionally buy parts from ECP all of whom are sponsors. Does this give me an Advantage?????

These reactions could really ruin the spirit of the competition. From my experience last year the final stage is all down to how well you perform on the day. I think it would take a bad loser to make any claims of a fix!
