driver with considerable endurance experience ,and mechanical sympathy!, looking for drive at this years event.suitable budget is available .also transporter with all tools is available if required.you can call me on (number now removed - JT)

john ruston · 4 Jun 2008, 07:36 (Ref:2219379)

Another handle,who are you and what do you want to drive.Cars go from 20's to 70's?

**John Turner** · 4 Jun 2008, 15:33 (Ref:2219737)

Let's guess. This Joe is 46 so not young Joe Twyman who used to post in his own name some years ago. What about Joe Ward?

terence · 4 Jun 2008, 16:08 (Ref:2219752)

46? JW would be flattered!

GBRM · 4 Jun 2008, 16:14 (Ref:2219760)

Plus the internet hasn't reached Boston yet!

**John Turner** · 4 Jun 2008, 16:17 (Ref:2219764)

Not him then! Come on Terry you know all the drivers! It's not Joe (Jonathan) Gomm either since he posts as gojo.

**John Turner** · 4 Jun 2008, 16:20 (Ref:2219767)

If it's reached me, it's reached Boston!

GBRM · 4 Jun 2008, 16:22 (Ref:2219769)

What about a certain Ferrari Joe?

Ok, they've got dial-up just not broadband and that's the excuse my sister just outside Boston gives me for not replying to my e-mails or maybe it was just something I said though!!

terence · 4 Jun 2008, 16:45 (Ref:2219795)

I really can't think of anyone I know who would want to do it in someone else's car.

john ruston · 4 Jun 2008, 17:21 (Ref:2219803)

I'm impressed with that answer Terry and we were thinking about giving you a drive but you obviously wouldn't want it.

I know the answer to the question and a man with considerable experience

terence · 4 Jun 2008, 17:25 (Ref:2219805)

What,and Father Christmas is Real?

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Jun 2008, 06:53 (Ref:2220212)

We have a policy of not revealing a poster's identity so in future if we get any of these types of thread then I susggest interested parties take it to pm.

So we still dont know Santa's real I.D.?

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 07:32 (Ref:2220239)

trouble is that us webmongs are not used to a real driver coming on and using Historic Racing Today to find a real drive in a race today - shocking really as he hasn't passed any coment on the authenticity of HRSR, MGB's or Spa 6 Hour, I personally think he should be banished ;o)

**John Turner** · 5 Jun 2008, 07:51 (Ref:2220247)

Sorry, Peter, but if someone comes on to a public forum seeking a drive and giving out his number, I think we are entitled to have a bit of fun speculating who he is. As you say, he can PM parties if he wishes to remain anonymous. We will surely find out who it is, anyway, if John gets him a drive!

(Edit - PS, However, tel no. now removed as contact now made. The disclosure of personal tel nos and addresses on a public forum is not recommended, and I should have removed it earlier in accordance with FAQs - in that sense, Peter is perfectly correct.)

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 07:57 (Ref:2220250)

or just phone him up - he left his number in the post! sorry just noticed it was deleted

I know. I wasn't suggesting it was wrong, just pointing out why we couldn't reveal the identity. I knew who it was FWIW.

Which is why I didn't remove the phone number.

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 08:54 (Ref:2220292)

so who is it... presumably its not a state secret who is looking for a drive and if he is good etc.... a name check is probably in his best interest

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Jun 2008, 09:09 (Ref:2220298)

Can't say for the reasons already given. Perhaps JR can tell you?

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 09:14 (Ref:2220300)

but he is playing golf today and I will have lost interest by tomorrow!!!!

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Jun 2008, 09:24 (Ref:2220304)

I lost interest yesterday.

simon drabble · 5 Jun 2008, 09:25 (Ref:2220305)

you are ahead of me - but given I walk with a limp that is not hard ;o)

Tim the Grey · 5 Jun 2008, 09:57 (Ref:2220320)

Has he voted on electronic ignition ?

**Peter Mallett** · 5 Jun 2008, 10:01 (Ref:2220324)

Good point (s).
