I'm feeling in a very benevolent mood - my team are through to the play-off final for promotion to the Premiership.

Easy for the Pros......

Hey - it looks like they're pinching my team's place (Hull are 99% likely to go the other way..!)

Could well happen. In which case the owners will have to apply to the League instead of the Premiership to change their name.

Nice to know you're still in touch with AP whilst you're away. This one's well-documented on the web - fill yer boots!

Rolf Davidsson and Stig Jedselius Dojores-Fiat Formula Junior!
Construction got going in 1959 based on a 1952 Fiat 1400 donor car providing the engine (sleeved down to 1100 cc).
The car was finished in 1960 and finally, first race was Gelleråsloppet at Karlskoga in June 1961.

The reason why I mentioned the Greek hyphen in an earlier post is that, in period, the cars were usually referred to as chassis-engine. This was because Formula Junior cars had to use a production car's block as an engine and it was thought correct to acknowledge this. Thus Lotus-Ford, Cooper-BMC, Stanguellini-Fiat. I've stopped using this method as a puzzle heading because it caused confusion.
