Surely the fact that young David B has gone boating and the featuring of assorted celebs from footy world can only be good for the cause of boating in general.
Ok,Mr Mansell bought a rather fine boat,but it shows that when he does spend his dosh he prefers to spend it on a boat.No matter if he is getting some sort of special deal.The more people who boat the better.*

Re: Boat show+ mansell

I agree.

But do I sense a tone of disdain regarding Nigel Mansell? Is your subtext that he is a dim tasteless brummie? That he was a relatively untaleneted yet determined F1 driver who failed to win a grand pric until 90 starts and only lead a GP after 80+ starts, and only won the driver's championship because he agreed to spooky Frank Williams low salaries preferring to spend on technology such that Mansell actually won in a far better car against far better drivers, a fact amply demonstrated when Senna moved to Williams for a faster car, less money and Mnasell lost his drive in a record 1 season after becoming world champion. Further, are you saying that the superficiality of publicising mansells purchase of a sunseeker, whilst admittedly winning british jobs etc, may actually work agtainst the compnay, in that more discerning people (most of us) will perhaps be steered away from a sunseeker rather than towards that brand?

Is that what you're saying? Is it?

Re: Boats and celebs TV

yes the story will go as follows; he pilots the boat, then thinks hes bad at piloting the boat and stops piloting the boat, meets a beautiful woman who tells him he is great at piloting the boat and then start to pilot the boat again- the basic premise to all his films!!

Re:Uncle Nigel.

Just a bit suprised when he reappeared out of the woodwork.Thought he might be running a sub post office in South Wales or worse.ie Essex.
Must have been able to hang on to some of his dosh as do not think he was prone to throwing his wedge at all and sundry during the good times..Assume that like Jackie Stewart,the money has gone into a few fairly successful business ventures.Or poss Colin "I will have that in advance and in cash please" Chapman was the way to go.
