Public Info Announcement FTAO geeks only

[mik]

Ha! I know that’s everyone on here

Anyway - this just arrived following a beer-influenced weekend purchase on Etsy. I am not interested in model cars or Lego, but I do appreciate a good vehicular-oriented casual clothing item.



I like it. Printed on a FOTL t-shirt (which might put some folks off?) 165gsm weight so a medium rather than heavyweight cotton, but as it was £quitereasonable for an official merchandised item at £17, I don’t have a huge issue with that.

Before @scotta mentions it - of course I have tippexed out a number of X’s on the label.

Anyway - the reason for this post is that the item was sent with a card linking to the manufacturer website https://bigcatretail.com/

And dammit they don’t only have official Lotus Merch, they also have Tyrrell stuff, plus other non-merch stuff.

Several nice Lotus options.

Bollox, some of the Tyrrell stuff is CAF ooh they have several P34 6-wheeler designs

Argggh they also have a Sauber C9 in the retro section.

And that’s a nice Concorde t-shirt. So it that one. And that Sea Harrier one. And the Phantom one.

Here endeth this public service announcement. I am not on commission.

I like the Tyrell blueprint ones and a couple of the retro ones.

I love the wackiness of the P34 6-wheeler (in general). Apparently in wet weather the front axle cleared sufficient water that they could often run slicks on the 2nd front axle.

Did not know that, great fact.

Please turn up to the next Scotland meet wearing this.

Ok, but I still won’t kiss on the lips.

Really like some of the Tyrrell and retro stuff.
