All is good - hope you all have a great weekend. Stirling Moss once said when he arrived at Teretonga "what utter desolation" He wasn't far wrong!

Good news/bad news......found the gremlin, dodgy wiring on the master switch hidden high behind the dash. Car going well in practice......until the rear hub broke and the wheel and I parted company. Can't be fixed so that's that. As the song goes 'you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.....'

Sorry to hear that, Colin. The good side is that nobody's injured.

Thanks Iain! As soon as I read that, Monty Pythons Lumberjack Song came into my head, and now it wont leave!
It seems like you manned up in the race though.... podium finish and 2nd fastest lap.... good stuff. That Alex Morton (#75) seems a bit quick! https://speedhive.mylaps.com/Sessions/5230985 Last edited by E.B; 16 Feb 2019 at 02:15. Reason: Added link to results. |

I’m confused, just had couple of emails from delta suggesting ‘Cold and windy this morning’, but it must be evening there now.....
Oh, and apparently a sign in the bakery announcing ‘NO CROISSANTS’...... Think someone’s winding you up, bud! Proof of practice times..... |

And who is Alex Morton please? Is it my computer screen or some cars really look like Vanwalls? Anyway, nice looking machines.

You need to do a bit of research on them, Gerard. They really are delightful little cars, and I should have bought one years ago! http://formulajunior.com/ |

Merci beaucoup Mike, c'est délicat de votre part. I do appreciate your help when many would be tempted to point out either few knowledge or lack of culture. This brings back to an old delta post when we were talking about the movie Grand Prix. Iain said many FJ were used if I remember well.

Gerard, I was like you years ago, and I was also a bit dismissive of the FJ cars. The whole story of Count Lurani and the starting of Formula Junior Racing is worth learning.
I pretty sure also that every car racing in the FJHRA and Lurani Championship is an original car with history, which can’t be said for many categories. Mr Rowley mentions food again, so here’s the Menu he ordered his steak from. Sorry the pic won’t load upright from iPad..... |
