Pugsley Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Very interesting, but I can't help but wonder if that's really a good use of the NRM's resources. Whilst it will be nice to have all of the remaining A4's together again, I'm sure that there are more worthy things to spend the money on than temporarily repatriating two of them from North America.

Commercial sponsorship has covered some of the costs of this, I can also imagine something like these line ups they have planned will be pay to enter deals so that will cover some of the costs.

edcayton Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think they should be like the Royal family and travel on separate ships, just in case......... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
