Thank you both. Dave

Tod, I'm seventy next summer and had a serious health issue just recently so I decided to call it a day and retire. One more European trip (while still in the EU) for champagne from a village called Sacy and another for Italian red (Marabini's Millenium Riserve from Castel Bolognese) and my...

Just a little light reading - how very successful the Joest team, including (under the guises of Bentley and Goh) were at the 24hr du Le Mans. This only goes back to 1996 when I was asked to join the team. I went on loan to Charlie Lamm's BMW tean in 1999 then back to Joest until the end. Year...

As of today, Audi Joest - the WEC competition works team running under the Audi Motorsport banner have ceased to operate. There is a chance they might move to another technology motorsport such as total electric Formula E. This leaves Porsche and Toyota to share out the spoils in 2017, and my...

What re you drinking Jeff? I'd like some but it would reduce my ability (what ability he says ?) to write something half way intelligent to diddly squat. PS Who cares who wins? Over here the American reporters on SKY NEWS channel are calling the outcome of Nov 8th to be like being in the Jaws...

As much as I respect each and every one of you, I despair for you guys. I cannot imagine if Clinton succeeds in this election, she will ever get re-elected. In fact I think she will be 'terminated, by hook or by crook, before the four years are up. I could even see a revolution to turf her...

Like Terry, too frightening to watch. Just about every car could be T boned at any time.

Well, on TV this morning from Vegas, Trump came across as a rambling idiot. All Clinton has to do is be alive on the day and it's hers for the taking. OMG. What have you in the U.S.A. done?

This appeared on PPRUNE (Professional Pilots Rmour Network) and I thought some of you would have a passing interest. POOR LITTLE LAMBS - The Corsairs of Baa Baa Blacksheep (Its a longish article so best enjoyed with a large Single malt [or several]) or a large Brandy if you are Keith.

As an aside, the kippers from Whitby (a tiny fishing town on the north coast of Yorkshire) are especially lightly smoked in a restaurant called the Magpie. Even my wife - a southerner through and through and almost anti anything from the north has been converted. Next I will venture further...

He has just been the subject of a Porsche advert with the WEC car driving around the West End of London. I think the advert is supposed to feature the new Hybrid 911? but the WEC car totally TOTALLY consumes the advert. Mark Webber just features at the end of the advert - as though he was...

Thanks Doug, Would anybody bother to go out and hear either of them? Anyway, I'm fairly sure the C.I.A. or who ever does these sort of dastardly deeds in the U.S.A. will bump off whoever the winner of the election is AND THEN ............

Well I just googled the earnings and pension of the president and, in comparison to Captains of industry, it's quite miserly. If, who ever wins, claims every penny they can, its about $570,000 followed by a pension of just over one third at $200,000. So - If its not for the money - what is it...

Rant on. However the next four years will be a good time to rethink the whole process on both sides of the Atlantic. The process of voting a prime minister over here and a president over there are both deeply flawed - for example we have a prime minister (in my opinion by default) that nobody...

Terrific. A great choice.

How incredible. It will enter the U.S.Navy today as USS Zumwalt, and is just amazing. Sure - it has a spectacular pricetag at $3billion, but must be the pride of the fleet. Well done the U.S.Navy.

Doug, It's much much worse than simply taking the piss. This is so serious the world will suffer if either of these two buffoons get elected - the only hope you, and the rest of us in the greater world, is for one or the other of the candidates (the incumbant?) to be executed and the vice...

According to some of the more informed political press here in the U.K., The oval office is Clinton's for the taking. According to the same press, Trump has rendered himself the laughing stock. Here in the U.K., The Commons ( our first level of Parliament in Whitehall and Palace of Westminster...

My point Pete. Nowhere man. They were on TV twp nights ago and neither were worthy of the job. Trump and Clinton - Oh dear. How sad.

If Trump succeeds and becomes President and then someone shoots him dead, (stranger things happen in the U.S.A.) will the U.S.A. call another election or go through four years of 'nowhere man' ?
