Interesting to see at the Masters Historic support race that the cars that have Cigarette sponsoring on them have had the sponsoring removed.

Very strange and really not a good look.Hope this is only for this weekend.

Enjoy it Will, think of the money

Hmmm my reading of the cigarette sponsorship laws is that if it is the *actual* car then they can run the original livery in the interest of historical accuracy. If the livery is changed, does this mean none of the cars are original?

Belated Birthday wishes, Gerard, from somewhere near Nuremberg, according to my SatNav.......

Clever of you not to have your Birthdate listed on the forum, so we can’t make jokes about your age......

Merci beaucoup, Iain, very kind of you. The Classic requests the same budget and organisation as Le Mans Classic and two of the E Types available have been severely damaged during Tour Auto. Next week we've to bring at least one new bonnet and some bits and bobs. Good news is that they will be better than ever!
Stoke Row Motor Sport days sounds tempting may be next year! Do you know when you'll be on this continent next time?

Welcome thomaspanton! Your location shown as ‘SC’..... Safety Car?

Gerard, on the way through your lovely country yesterday I was passed by an immaculate CX, probably a high spec, GTi or Turbo, from the rear window blinds and wheels. The wonderful thing was, it was sitting in the outside lane going the same pace as all the modern (mostly German) stuff, and looked perfectly at home doing so! Some older cars look quite uncomfortable going the same speed as modern traffic.....

Seems Hungary has quite an affection for French cars, as there were lots on display last weekend. I’m going to post a few pics when home and have WiFi that works.......

So, I survived the 4600km round trip to Hungaroring and back, as did the truck, but sadly my specs didn’t- completely flattened after being run over in the paddock when they fell from my pocket..... Just had to bite the bullet and order 2 new pairs as I lost another pair last year!

Look on the bright side Mike. It would have been even worse if you'd been wearing your specs at the time!

I am told that you can et some very cost effective specs on-line of your optician will release the prescription to you.

If basic reading specs suffice the choice is wide and the prices low.

If the needs are more complex - very different needs for each eye for example - it's a bit more specialised but apparently even that can be accommodated via on-line ordering.

Could be a great way of obtaining some low cost "paddock use" semi-disposables?
