Don't know where you pick up all your bugs- can't be in the gym!

I've got to spend the last day of 2015 attending a church funeral, so thermals, overcoat, scarf, gloves all ready....

Here's to 2016. May it deliver a season of good racing, and in good weather!

Even at current exchange rates that's a lot of dosh for a couple of lumps of metal.

Some enterprising soul could probably use one to create a mould (they don't look like they are handed) and then print a substitute using a 3D printer.

Not sure they would work well but if the car was not in regular use it would probably be fine.

Will there, at some future point, be a fortune available for some enterprising engineer manufacturing replacements? Low volume but high value for desperate owners?

Future historic F1 cars.

Probably a good investment for the Monaco Historique event circa 2055 for those into forward planning. Obvious provenance with photographic records.

"Easy conversion" to all electric power as will be required by then?

Is this thread being closed/renewed for 2016?

Leave out the word "lighter". This gets a bit heavy at times!

Bauble's Barrackroom Banter? (And I cleaned that alliteration up!)

We survived this year without 'lighter' in the title! Any new heading has to reference the originator, so starting with basic and simple-

"Delta's tea break natter and nonsense".......

Edit- you beat me to it! Happy New a Year, Peter!
