Well ...... here goes .
I was feeling a little randy one morning while the wife was looking for some bacon for breakfast, so when she bent over the freezer I just couldn't wait and, in I went ......! Wow! Great! Best for quite some time .... Of course I'll never be able to shop in Iceland again. The old ones are definitely the best. P; There is absolutely no truth in this story ...Honest. |

An electric course car - thought I was at a Formula-e meeting for a moment (the registration plate indicates that I wasn't).

It is with some sadness that I have to tell all my friends in the UK that the Volpini is sold. BUT with Iain still in charge here is the new car photographed at its inaugural test run at Vacca Valley Raceway in California in July 1960. It is a Britannia (02-60). Only 3 were ever made and it has been impeccably restored by Bob Egginton even down to its original racing colours.

Lovely.
I hope it brings great pleasure. On a side note. Forty years after leaving technical college, I gained a degree yesterday. Phew, now I can concentrate on racing. |

Well done Peter, what's the degree in, bet it's nothing to do with engineering.

I was asked to film a group at my local pub and these young ladies also turned up to put us in a good mood.
You can see they are professional as one of them wasn't fazed at all when she got her heel caught in her dress ! One of them lives local to me and they call themselves Elektra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsrwdcLzryc And they drink Larkins !!!!!! Last edited by GORDON STREETER; 12 Jul 2015 at 22:08. |

How refreshingly entertaining.
What a lovely pair; and genuinely talented. Ht The vile din is a tantalisingly difficult skiffle to play |

I can recommend the Castle Inn. Chiddingstone has a very Olde Worlde atmosphere.

Talking about letters after your name, while desperately trolling though French radio stations yesterday to find something with a play list more than 3 songs, I found 'Radio FG', and guess what- FG stands for what you might imagine it does! After a few minutes I decided 'NSFG' was more appropriate..... |
