I have received a calendar produced by a German company called teNeues this Christmas; guess which team it omitted? (My Autocourse calendar for 2004 did not make this dreadful mistake) Anyway, have emailed the Krauts:
"Dear teNeues calendars,
I am delighted to have received one of your Formula 1 calendars as a Christmas present. The selection of photographs is very good but I have one complaint; you have forgotten one very special team.
Minardi may not have won a race but neither has BAR, which gets two pictures on your calendar.
In an age of big money, Minardi symbolises the true sporting spirit of F1, surviving against the odds and talent-spotting many young drivers. For those reasons and more it has worldwide support and is the 'second' team of many spectators.
2005 is Minardi's 20th anniversary year in F1 so it is particularly sad it does not feature on your calendar. Don't let the fans down in 2006!
Many thanks and Forza Minardi!
Simon 'viges' Vigar."

2005 will be its 20th anniversary.
It works like for birthdays.
I.e. (again)
23 july 1975, I'm going to be thirty.
That is it's going to be my 30th "anniversary"
But my 30th year of life begun the day of my 29th birthday, july 23rd 2003.

March
April
Need I go on?
Btw, IF there would be a FM.com (with Minardi team and car pics) then I would certainly order it !!!
Minardus, see me in my study.
BTW RJ, where's the shot of you in the GoKL racing suit?!
+ as off season fun, shall we show them our shot taken on Oxford Street?
C'mon boys, how much do you want to see a deeply humiliating shot of RJ and viges? Mmm?

Let me write to those Germans, I'll make'em an offer they can't refuse.
Oh, by the way, wanna watch my horse?
