Just to add to the GTS Tuning comments. My GT40 was SVA'd in 2001 and they did check the speedo calibration. As I remember, the tester had the car on a rolling road. He adjusted engine speed until the speedo read exactly 30,40,50 and 60 and at each point clicked a button. At the end of the...

There is one thing I can't understand about this. The well documented cases of BA flight 9 and the KLM happened when the planes inadvertently flew directly through the dense clouds of volcanic dust. The engines must have ingested tons of dust and I can understand their failure. Over the...

Hi David I'm sure I saw a Nimrod flying over Cheshire about a 3 weeks ago. Looked like it was preparing to land at Woodford, definitely the wrong flight path for Ringway. Was this one of the last flights, or was it my mistaken identity? Dave

On a separate subject: Who thinks Max Mosely is well past his sell by date? Dave

Hey Paolo You seem to be very happy, I can't imagine why! You are right, Kimi is the new World Champion Driver, but he isn't the world champion smiler. I have had a couple of beers and a bottle of local wine. I expect Australian Pete has enjoyed a better quality product! I still...

Oh Dear! Maybe the clearance on Hamiltons front left spigot plunger thruster pin bearing housing oil retention seal containment ring was only set to 0.0098 mm. Better luck next year. I still think the whole F1 world wants to know why the team left him out on useless tyres for several...

Richard Thank you for the interest shown in the position of Assistant Tyre Counter. Please be assured your application has been correctly filed. However I regret to inform you that as I haven't secured the contract yet and as I would want a few years of the high life myself, the position...
