Please let us know how you get on if you bump into Slim at Tesco in Coventry! If you go out wearing a bright yellow T-shirt bearing the names ATS and ABBA on it, it could well be an ice-breaker! But don't expect any sponsorship money... F1 Wired, thanks for your comment. Please let us know how you get on if you bump into Slim at Tesco in Coventry!

The ABBA name appeared on the car but he didn't get any sponsership money from the band pr record company - the band's name appeared on the car in an attempt to lure paying sponsors for the rest of the F1 season but it didn't work! Apparently he drove for Mazda in the 1993 BTCC driving a Mazda Xedos 6. He now lives in Coventry, UK. I'll keep an eye out for him next time I go shopping :-) I've been reading up on Slim!

I was at the Silverstone race where the photo above was taken, but at the time I was cheering on the winner John Watson, not ABBA! Me, guilty of geeky research?! Yes, on occasion... Thanks Scott.

The Smiths - ha, no I doubt it (chance would be a fine thing) maybe ZZ Top will though... after their Singapore GP gig.
