Taffy, congratulations on your title win. Regarding that hat-trick parade lap... ...and the traditional parting shot. David's Concours winning Cooper-BRM prepares to go on track:

John, Thank you for those 'parting shots'. But I don't think we'll let Taffy run that Auto Union monster next year.. if he gets that sort of leeway, he'll be asking to enter one of these next! David, Yes, I would prefer to wait until after the Christmas postal madness before you send my car back. Thanks so much!

Hello, David,
I´d prefer too to get my car back in the new year. The postal services in Germany are working hard in christmas time, and I don´t want to see the parcel lost...
Thank you for posting the chassis details. Comparing the chassis, I think, I know now, why Chris´ Matra was the fastest car....

Congratulations to the folks on the podium, and a big round of applause to all the other entrants, hosts, drivers etc. that enabled this series to be the success it was.
A special thanks to Mark for initiating and organizing the 2013 championship.
Happy holidays !!
Cheers Chris Walker

Everyone is back at work today in the UK and the postal service seems to be back to normal so I have parcelled up and posted all the remaining cars to their overseas owners.
I hope they all arrive safely in the next week or so.

Hello, David,
my car arrived today, signed by the races, but very well packed and safe! I think, it will not take many time to bring it back to "showroom condition"... Thank you once again for all the care, that you had with the cars and all the work, that you had with this very special racing series, that was such a pleasure to me!
Very best regards, Taffy

Taffy
That's not too bad, four days in the post. I'm glad the packaging was ok and I am sure the small area of race damage won't take long to repair for a model-maker with your skills.

That's good to hear Chris.
As you say I don't think it had a mark on it after all the races.
