Tell me Gordon- is the fee per viewing same if the viewer jumps past the ad? (If possible, that is.)

I've often wondered....

I've never found out Mike, one thing I can tell you is that unless the video goes viral with thousands of views the money you get is five eights of f*** all

I've seen him before , great fan, got to show my youngest grandson.
On a totally different topic, has anyone any idea if there has ever been an orange MK 1 Lotus Cortina raced ?

Can't recall ever seeing a pic of an orange Mk1, but Frami Racing used an ex AMR Mk2 in ETCC in the late 60s, painted orange with cream roof. They did have a Mk1 previous to that car but not sure what colour it would have been.....

Closest I can get!

Surely Jim Clark raced one?

Chris Craft?
I know he raced a Lotus Cortina a few times after his orange Ford Anglia.

Joking apart, it could very well be! Looks like a lighter stripe driver's side of centre as well?

Having found that pic in a few secs, there must be more out there.....

His Anglia had a mid-blue stripe over bonnet roof and bootlid on the driver's side of centre IRC.

zefarelly · 12 Dec 2016, 10:46 (Ref:3695475)

There was an Orange MK1 raced in '64 with a blue stripe . . .

I know of a very good unfinished race project for sale ;-)

Chris craft No 61.

Have a look at YouTube under BSCC Crystal Palace 1964-looks like there's an orange Lotus Cortina there-probably the same one?

Why the interest, Mike? Have you just found one in a barn?

Not me- it was Eric who asked the question! Think thanks to your heads up, he has the answer as well.

I'm sure that one could be found if the price was right

And he would know.....

On a different subject, I've often cursed the antiquated procedure for purchasing a rail ticket in this region. No Oyster Card or smart app for us! (And no ticket machine at the local station.)

Anyway, I noticed on occasions recently passengers showing the Inspector their phone rather than ticket, so did some research. Appears that via one Internet site I can now book and receive an E ticket via phone app. Brilliant, we've joined the 21st century! Except.... for the privilege I am expected to pay a booking fee of £0.75! Mmm, I'll continue buying on the train- when the technology is working, anyway....

Sorry for the brain fart, Mike.
Eric, have you just found an orange Cortina in a barn?

Eric Falce · 12 Dec 2016, 23:00 (Ref:3695650)

No, one I've had my eye on for a good few years, not in good condition but ready for renovation. The orange bit comes in when my four year old grandsons favourite colour is orange, no prizes for what colour it will end up but we will see.

Your grandson ha excellent taste at 4 years old, then!

A replication of the Craft colour scheme seems well appropriate.....
