Everyone else; I need December, and would like to replace Tim's Yellow Peril' as it is not a good picture. Hurry if you want to be in the final version I am anxious to get it published. |

Oh, someone did notice! Thanks, Iain. I'll just reiterate that I bought this because I could no longer afford to buy a house but it is the realisation of a dream. It's only taken 69 years!

Attempt to post a link to preview. Seems to work, so get those snaps in before final version. Thanks. Last edited by bauble; 4 Jan 2019 at 10:00. Reason: Addition |

Nice one, Gordon. I've got one of you and car at Snetterton somewhere - one of your last outings I think! Will have to hit my archived 'external' hard drive!

Thanks, John. So far I've only driven from where I purchased it, about 150 miles. Surprisingly easy to drive and pretty tractable once you adapt to the instant throttle. The sound is to die for! Got it on a 2000 mile a year policy although am allowed to increase that with prior notice. Not expensive to insure.

Good for you . . . People have made pretty decent homes from Containers . . . . they're affordable!

Seeing that great shot of Gordon got me searching and although not good enough for calendar, since I found them, I'll share the them. The first taken at Snet in 2006, and the next two at the same place a year later:-

Also at Snetterton, 2008. I'm getting an urge to start a thread for old racing photos!:-

Bob, I meant ‘the red car’ as opposed to the red +4!
This shot is my fav, taken at Jerez..... |

Talking of models, I’ve literally just had an email to advise that St Martins Models in Cecil Court, London WC2 is closing down. Likely means nothing to most people, but among diecast collectors it was well known. From memory the shop was previously in Covent Garden, but for the last 8 years has been run by DieCast Legends, in Cecil Court.
The world changes...... |

My thoughts entirely, especially the humbled bit.
Thanks Bob for a great effort and fine result. Must have been a sleepless night given it is only not much more than 24 hours since the plot was hatched. Much appreciated. Last edited by E.B; 4 Jan 2019 at 13:30. |
