Paul, the Blooper on video 1 made me curl up, and I didn't even have the sound on!!! The look on the guys face! so obviously enjoying themselves and having fun. I am going to have to watch the rest later. Thanks for posting.

Just a reminder that the copy and picture deadline for the September Fortyfication is 10th August.
I am still looking for a front cover picture that captures the spirit of LMC, so if anyone has a quality, portrait-format pic that they think does this, please send it to me.
Also, does anyone want to do a write-up for the magazine of what LMC meant for them? Factual or humourous, either will fill the bill.
Please e-mail words and pics to my address at the front of Fortyfication.

Do you know, there is a blue and cream Healey in every video that I have seen.
That bloke gets everywhere!

Just paid my credit card - my fuel bill for the three day trip was £615.74. Bloody webers!!!
Can anyone beat that? PS its not something to be proud of.

 

[Brian Magee]

What mileage?
I did 735 miles in 10 days on £298.76 with 48 IDA,s = 40.6p per mile

Brian.

 

Brian - didn't record the mileage. It was too depressing following Martin Gough around the Le mans area. We were in sight of our hotel - next minute back on the motorway with the next exit 20 mile away! This went on for three hours..... car was running ever ever so slightly rich!!! Everytime I went past a car full of French women something made me floor it then back right off - Mike P said the resulting flames out the exhaust were worth every penny. Have had it on the rolling road since then - what a difference. Its like having a new car.

 

Why I've got a USA flag next to my name - Lancashire is the capital of England. Anyone know how one changes ones flag to something more patriotic.

 

Dick - you've got one too. I suppose being from the midlands you neither one of us nor one of those southerners. i suppose any flag would do....

 

[David Morton]

In your profile - go to "About me" and change it - it's at the bottom of the page.
