Now having re-read your bit about the left eye at Bay Park, this was in a left hand drive car on a left hand corner track (except one) and you had the left half of visor blocked out. I always thought "christ Jim's blocking again and got some strange lines driving around the middle of the turns" but it was all part of the plan Jim. Always the crafty one ah.
My poor old girl never got to fume Jim, it was either up there or only one cough and reasonable puff and then the dreaded noise around your feet.
