Before this years trip to Le Mans I purchased one of the above mentioned C A flags. This flag withstood the heat of La Sarthe with flying colours (sic) and I was very satisfied with it. The flag was next used at Silverstone were it still looked as good as new after a weekend of being battered by wind and rain.
All in all I was very happy with my flag and was willing to reccomend them to everyone.
Until recently that is.
Last weekend I was invited to stay at a fellow CAer's house after a good night out at a beer festival. In the early hours of sunday morning I awakened from my sleep in a very comfortable chair by the chill of the night air. Close to hand was a trusty old CA flag which I used to cover myself as one would with a blanket.
I found the flag to be totally inadequate for the job, in fact it made no difference whatsoever and caused me to loose faith it what until then had been an old friend. Therefore could I politely suggest that the next production run of these flags is made with a zip in fleece liner.
This would ensure that no CAer need ever suffer from hypothermia on the far flung race tracks of the world
