I'm glad you did! Got a better offer... I have loved T70s since Denny Hulme crashed one in front of me at Coram a long time ago. Looking forward to seeing yours in the flesh..

Looks lovely Graham - just what colour is it going to be then?

Great advice as usual - thanks very much!

Testing the voltage to the coil on my chevrolet engined 40 showed it was only receiving around 7 to 8 volts from a healthy battery. Testing either side of the ballast resister revealed it was the culprit and I bypassed it. The car now starts beautifully for the first time ever - but my question...

That's great Paul thanks for those. Talking to John Jordan's grandson the other day he said the GT40 was eventually sold for a minute sum, less than two grand I believe!

The best place for all thing Slot Racing in England is this forum: SlotForum - Slot Car News, Reviews & Resources I run a slot car racing club in Norwich, it has a four lane 140 foot long permanent track - get in touch if you can't find what you want on Slotforum.

Sorry Graham, I didn't really think about it till I took the silencer off this week and found out how sloppy the joints were!

Many thanks Simon - I have ordered them today.

Can anyone help me obtain the little ball joints in the cable change on my Renault transaxle in Britain please. And what size are they? (I mean the thread size I need to order). Both are worn out and the change is awful! Thanks in advance

There is a short article in this month's Motorpsort magazine which says Ford GT40 chassis 1085 took to a race circuit for the first time ever at Donington Park in April. Owner Jonathan Turner bought the 1969 chassis, which had been stored in America and never used, and had it built up by Racing...

It's all down to money. Top Gear's budget is massive hence they get helicopter shots etc. This show was mostly a single camera shoot with all its limitations. I thought the worst thing about it was the music which was immensely irritating. The trouble with all these shows is that Classic...
