Actually, that's a good point, I got my 968 back on the road in 2025. I could have finished in 3rd if I only posted a pic of it in the FECPOTY 25 thread.

Does storing it for the winter renew its application for FECPOTY 26? :lol:
if you rebuild it with carbon fibre bodywork and new ...

Get it fixed up good and i’ll nominate it for FECPOTY 26 just keep Scott angry!


It’s never going to beat Marv’s 968.

To state the possibly obvious, he was a car nut. Loved Ferrari (made a film about it https://www.timeout.com/movies/la-passione) and used to race 7s. Always thought the painting of the 7 used for Auberge was particularly nice. Great bloke by all accounts. RIP.

It seems to be a bit of a trend with CSL owners who go for a manual conversion, that they end up flogging it shortly after

Esso 99ron SUL up until recently had no ethanol in it in my area. That changed some time last year, and it's now E5.

There's an Esso near Capel St Mary on the A12 which sell petrol and diesel cheap compared to elsewhere in Suffolk, so I have the habit of going there now.

The SUL at that Esso is ...

By 2030, they may have negotiated it from 90% to 70%

Think it’s just the updated design of Michelin tyres.. think tyre review mentioned it


Inconclusive. The tyre pictured on the eBay ad is dated 1125. The ones my dad had fitted recently are 2625 and 4125 and they are not fancy


It's option code 765.868.556.289 for Michelin tyres sidewalls ...

That's numberwang!

Happy that Lando won the championship.

He joined McLaren when they were at a real low, and has seen the team through all the ups and downs on their way to the top, plus has been through ups and downs himself. It's a nice story from the almost the back of the grid, to the front.

I bet all the ...

If a driver has a race winning car, and the driver is doing their bit, but the team are fucking things up, then TADTS.

Watched the Ch4 quali highlights.

In interviews, Max and Laurent looked completely relaxed. Lando and Zack looked pretty nervous!

Hopefully it will be a great final race

Watched the sprint race highlights last night. Boring.

Let’s not have a sprint race at Qatar again.

Newey out manoeuvring Horner

I quite enjoyed that quali!

Onboard footage showed how all of them were having to constantly correct the car. Some amazing driving up and down the grid.

Nice to see Sainz put it in P3. Maybe he wouldn’t have done any better at Ferrari this year

I'm a bit sceptical too.

Will be interesting to hear what Barry thinks of them, if they're allowing people to try them on.

TBH, putting on a helmet isn't that difficult, and after 5 minutes you forget about the strap unless you've done it up too tightly.



I've seen that a couple of times too ...

Bit of a long vid, but well worth watching. All about how special the Ferrari F2004 was.



Bet Hamilton would cry in despair, if he saw how Ferrari had their shit tied down so well back then

I don’t know if any of you chaps are eligible for Saga car insurance (over 50 only) but the prices my dad pays with them are ridiculously cheap - the M cars are £150 each.
Something to look forward to once one hits 50 :lol:


Just over 4 more years for me :lol:

Apparently insurance goes up a ...

Used to mostly buy Goodyear tyres in the past, but have gradually been switching to Michelins over the years.

The main thing I miss from the Goodyears is the really good rim protector. Michelin don't seem to bother!

Have previously tried Vresdestiens, Falkens and a few others, which I got on well ...

This vid popped up on my YT recommendations.

How come I never noticed one of the Ferrari mechanics doing a running headbutt into the wall, shortly after he told Filipe Massa's family he hadn't won the championship
