Originality
I tried to watch GT Racer the other Sunday but my in-built Freeview at home kept cutting out so I gave up (I don't get any mobile signal either, roll on 2012 when I won't be able to talk or watch anyone from here!!).
There's a couple of things I'd like to know though, as I saw DD300 racing with what I thought were either Dutch or Belgian people. What I'd like to know is when did John Chatham die, when he did die did he get lots of money for new glasses from selling DD300 and the only verbal bit I heard was "this is the most original racing Healey and has never been changed"; do you want a bet??!! |

I saw John Chatham at Race Retro in March. He didn't look well ........hadn't heard he'd died, and he's a large motor sporing character here in the west country so I'd be surprised not to have caught something on the grapevine.

I stand corrected,thanks Esper. I find it hard to belive that John would have restored her though!

I was in the next door pit in 05 6 Hour to an immaculately restored works healey run by some Dutch guys - I seem to recall that they had problems with it all weekend - is this the same one? It was a definite Pebble Beach racer

If it was in British Rcing Green with some front wheel spats in silver ,then yes ,that was it. I only ever remember it as looking a little scruffy,just how it should and how John kept it.He would alwaus try winding me up over the works cars I restored.!

I stumbled across the German round on the Dave Channel this lunchtime - I have to say that although it was not a "race report" it was a very watchable programme and certainly got me in the mood to don the lid and suit and start racing again after the winter break - only trouble is we still have at least two months to go!
One point though - a german E Type was towed back to the pits and repaired and went out again. I thought that if you were towed back you couldn't rejoin? Or was it a case of German on home soil?! Wish I had seen the previous two programmes and if I am at home when the next episode is on I will certainly watch it - shouldn't the programme have a title that includes "Historic" so we have more chance of finding it? |
