It was a well sorted E36 and they are the car to beat. At least I have the balls to race something different we can all buy a ready sorted M3 and go to the front!

GORDON STREETER · 4 Dec 2013, 14:09 (Ref:3340121)

I thought that would wake you up Al !

But that's a BMW not a Camaro

Al Weyman · 4 Dec 2013, 15:02 (Ref:3340151)

So what, have you raced against M3's especially the later ones that come out the factory with nearly 300bhp and handle like on rails against a 60's technology old tub.

**Tim Falce** · 4 Dec 2013, 16:28 (Ref:3340179)

Errr, right, you've lost me here.

Al Weyman · 4 Dec 2013, 17:00 (Ref:3340183)

If you are talking about the camera car yes that's a BMW 325i but there is a fair bit of my car in the few opening laps which you wouldn't see if it was taken from my car, see simples!

I see new operators have been announced for Mallory - Real Motorsport Limited - jointly by Stuart Hicken (a BSB team owner) and Eddie Roberts (motorcycle tyre retailer).

Obviously a m/cycle background to them but lets hope it moves forward and we get to see some historic racing back there. And testing for those that use it (Delta?).

Wow . Good news .i did have cars testing at Silverstone today .Thanks for the up date Gazza

Response to my post immediately above?

If so by "II" or "III" I meant the US style of naming people with the same names generation after generation.

e.g. Weyman Unser II or Weyman Unser III, or whatever.

That would probably look meaningful to some UK spectators even though not at all meaningful in reality.

Al Weyman · 5 Dec 2013, 10:13 (Ref:3340380)

No you are confusing me now Grant, I do have three of the wretched things so I get confused myself!

midgetman · 5 Dec 2013, 11:59 (Ref:3340403)

You've got three Al Weymans? That IS confusing! Do you hang the spare two up in the cupboard until you need them? Is it like the Dr Who character the Slovene where you zip on a fresh one?

What's the collective noun for them? A camaro of Weymans?

No comments anywhere about the HSCC Dinner/Dance last Saturday? My first time, I thought it was brilliant! Even the wife enjoyed it too... mostly!

Mrs M declared it one of the better ones, but then she had long gone to bed when they ran out of proper malts in the bar

Speaking of malts... What was that one you bought me? It was very very nice.

Colin McKay · 5 Dec 2013, 22:06 (Ref:3340617)

Ah, that was a Talisker. Went down very well I thought

delta · 5 Dec 2013, 22:15 (Ref:3340622)

Well I was very disappointed 1.30 am in the bar with two of my top drivers .i say well I'm off too bed ,then Colin EType driver says to Richard Galaxie driver fancy another drink .Last I heard it was gone 3am before they went to bed .tut tut

delta · 5 Dec 2013, 22:18 (Ref:3340623)

And as for MrMorgan and Mallory Dan well I disspare !!!!!!!

apriliadriver · 6 Dec 2013, 07:57 (Ref:3340711)

Ah ! Talisker ! a good island malt- if I want a truly memorable hangover I try out some of the Islay malts of which Port Ellen and Bunnahabain ( ? spelling) are a good tonsil eradicator.
I thought the dinner was pretty good - lamb rather than the ubiquitous wet-compound chicken. The company at the HRS table was sparkling : conversation was not just about historic racing. And Gordon and Mandy Spice (both fully qualified smokers and regular inhabitants of the Smokers Deck outside) were very entertaining.

When do you want it moving? I am at Royston not to far away. Mike.

Wifey broke her wheelbarrow at the stables so I've been to Argos and got another. It is a flat pack one and after faffing around with it for over an hour I've given up and It's going back. The frame seems to be out of line and the tyre lost 5psi of air in half an hour. I dunked the wheel and tyre in a sink full of water and watched as a load of water actually ran in-between the tyre and the wheel.
