Now you are just being silly Tel, no one is standing next to anyone, it is against government policy. This is to avoid the spread of illegal images, you can see from the picture below that the 'Steer Clear' sign is being displayed.

I will endeavour to steer the conversation on to safer ground;

Actually I thought it meant " Supreme Cameraperson " .
But then I realised that the SUPREMES were all ladies , so I could not say that .











Phew ! I think I got away with it that time .

Well calling somebody stupid is a bit insulting.

Let’s just stick to the pics and avoid going off track, maybe.....

Here we go, something for everyone.

Good idea, although I am sure Tel meant no offence to anyone - even me.

Unusual and very nice view on the Racer. One question I retain for a long time, related to the pics Mike, is why are there so many B's and not so many TR 4's? Matter of cost in general or category or something else?

[bauble]

Not sure what pic you are referring to GerryMo, but never mind here are a few more;

Considerably more B's racing than TR4's, it is as simple as that.

[bauble]

Relax;

[Gerard C]

Yes of course RBS et toi mon Ami Robert, matter of fact you have more B's than TR's. My question was not about the pics themselves but why your drivers go for an MG more likely than a Triumph. Is its because the under 2 liter class or costs or something else?

Gerard, sorry missed that question. One post answer so as not to go OFF TOPIC...

Why MGB-
More donor cars to build from
Better new and used body panel availability (shell even)
Monocoque rather than chassis/ body
Better new and used mechanical parts availability
Smaller and lighter
Less brick like
Goes into Under 2 litre class instead of 2 to 3 litre class (sometimes 2.5 litre class)
Stronger gearbox
Potentially cheaper engine rebuilds
Sweet handling

No more discussion.....

… and they come in all of the colours ……

….. and you can save money on front tyres …. but not on the back …!

Baub that’s a great shot of Paul Latimer three wheeling his ex Rod Longton MGB, which I’ve taken the liberty of forwarding, hope that’s ok.

Is that #90 the RL car? I remember Rod in a black and yellow Modsports B. It was a very long time ago now, I started my racing in the BCV8 and Midget Championships, must have been 1980/81 era?

So many cars cut and shut to take engine relocation, bigger wheels, trick suspension. Happy days but the Appendix K purists would have a fit these days.

Yes it’s VFO the red MGB showing #80, should have gone to spec savers Max

Rod raced various MGs & TVRs through the years and had VFO his FIA MGB, which he’d been racing since the 80s, recommissioned to celebrate 50 years of racing in the early 2000s. I was lucky enough to race it with him at Spa Six, Le Mans Classic & Targa Florio amongst others.

Rod was one of the old school who remembered Barry SS & Gerry Marshall in short trousers.

Apart from Corona Virus, smoking is also bad for your health;

[bauble]

You don't see many of these racing;

[midgetman]

Is that you MG David in #54? I know you had "knock on" Minilites at one stage, and it looks like the Bell helmet you had and even your seating position in the car.
