This thread makes me wonder, has anyone seen @ZedLeg? Don't think I've seen him post for a little while. That's weird - I wondered that last week. And nope: Last active Tue Jan 09, 2024 4:02 pm He's too busy baiting in NP&E on PH. Which is not a healthy way to spend one's time Someone go and ge...

Either way, shocking that they've suspended the accuser. A lot of people are complaining that it's two consenting adults, but unfortunately it's not that simple when one of them is a boss. It basically proves, should proof be needed, that if you have enough money you can basically do whatever you li...

Yeah, the rumour is it that Horner was trying to buy it with some backers, Marko who is backed by Jos are on the other side who didn't take kindly to the attempted buy out.

Unlikely that my perfect home exists so I'd probably be building my own. Therefore I'd be land shopping rather than house shopping. The problem with that approach is that the best locations already have a house built on them, or if they haven't you may not get planning consent. Also, if you buy an ...

I have been daydreaming about my car collection and think I’ll need a mix of Tuthill, Prodrive, PDD and Chip Foose to work for me to get what I want.

Dave!

Ah yes, probably the first large cash deposit would be to Mr Tuthill for my 911K, get on the list.

I took a more practical viewpoint, buying property is not the work of a moment so that rules that out (although I would start looking for the right places both home and abroad). I'd probably buy an M5CS, that can happily sit on my current drive for a few months and take me about on the day to day an...

I'm fine with them existing, but they're not something I personally want to own.

This. It's the wrong gold. Shame, would be alright in the right gold.

This is the correct gold IMO obviously.

MINI - firey death incoming. 21750645-8a7b-4d9e-9c48-fe4d0232921a.jpeg It’s the wife’s car so there was no chance of arranging to to happen at 10mph while the ambient temperate was 10°. Although that would have been easier than 99999 miles, 99mph & 99° :shock: :D Can you get 10mph at 1000rpm? 1...

I used to be a reliably quick responder, but now I just always seem to be busy and not have time to think about replying, also a case of seeing the message, making a mental note to reply later and forgetting. I try where possible to leave it unread until I know I'm going to have time to reply, but i...

At least MV wasn't off into the distance. Will probably win it this year, but looks like there might be some scraps near the front (in quali at least, although possibly the RedBull is a beast on race pace so shouldn't get ahead of myself). It's annoying that I can't now abbreviate RedBull to RB... m...

Whether or not there's any legitimacy to the claim, I imagine there's so much inappropriate behaviour goes on by the old guard in F1 that they will have no choice but to circle the wagons! I still stand by this. I was watching FP3 earlier and they said Horner had left the pit wall to see Ben Sulaye...

Yeah, it's AW Driver Training now. I was actually booked on a day when they went under, but I feel for Andy, sounds like there was a lot going on. I think one of the instructors he worked with ripped off his idea and set up their own, and he had cancer. He mentioned it to me on the way back round w...

We should do an ov9 day! Were helmets required ? If not I could possibly be persuaded to bring the Ferrari. Last time I went to North Weald was with Coaster :cry: IMG_3968.jpeg :( Yeah, the only time I went previously was with him too. He was in his 'teg. No, don't need a helmet. I think the format...

Did a Walshy fun day at North Weald yesterday with some folks off SELOC. Can't have much more fun for £100! 12 cars, so you don't get a ton of time on the various circuits or much tuition (although Walshy did jump in with me once, and I have been before so that's ok), but still a load of fun. What a...

Just watching DtS, santa asking Horner's kids "Has dad been good this year?".

I guess with non-UK nationality drivers there's probably a statistical risk that they are not as well trained. I think for some countries you don't have to take a UK test to convert to a UK licence etc. Not that UK drivers are amazing clearly, but there is a certain standard that averaged out over m...
