OV9

Unlikely that my perfect home exists so I'd probably be building my own. Therefore I'd be land shopping rather than house shopping.

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...

If there’s no ethnicity data behind the claims base how can it be racist? Or am I being very naive? Could insurers be loading premiums on certain streets / areas based on data sourced elsewhere which does have ethnicity information? I think they would have to go to some effort to make it racist, so...

A lot of it is bollocks, I think there should be a far greater right to privacy. Have a British driving licence then leave it at that. What does it matter if you have kids or not, own or rent a house, or what your specific job is. Yes you can pull statistics out your arse all day and find infinite ...

Yeah, love it, listen to it in the car too. Neil Clifford is definitely the best part of it though, legend.

I didn't catch that in commentary, but you've been able be in the air over the line for as long as I can remember. Usually hitting the flag means you're in touch, did he hit the flag first before grounding or something?

Either way, sounds like they cheated... I demand an immediate rematch.

Well deserved win for Scotland. The Scotland vs Ireland game probably should have been the grandslam game, unfortunately it's Ireland's championship at a canter.
