If you are down this way again then there's also the Hants-Berks region meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, at the West Meon Hut. Cheers, Max

Saw some Germans who had them back at LMC 2004. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-enthusiasts-club/14003-le-mans-classic-2004-maxs-personal-diary-2.html#post120860

I should have taken the less serious approach:- "Don't go shooting your mouth off"

I can understand this sort of thing being developed & used by the likes of the secret services etc but this looks like its an info sheet for something "commercially available" which worries me. Are companies legally allowed to design, manufacture & sell such things? I am well aware that...

Mine too, so make it 4.

As I said, I am not condoning this barbaric behaviour. When I said something more than community service is required I meant a real custodial sentence. Otherwise, if what David says is true then these criminals are effectively straight back out on the street with little more than a slap on...

Should just do like the Arabs, he'd struggle to do it again with only one hand... and it should certainly make him think that if he did he could face life with no hands! No, I'm not really condoning this kind of barbarism, but surely something more than community service is required to stop...

^ You mean a woman like Glenda Jackson (& I don't want to start a debate...)? Anyway, still interested to know if the GT90 was actually sold at the auction, and if so what sort of money it went for. Max

Sadly mine is in bits at present, but should be back together by the summer (by Le Mans Classic, if not by Stoneleigh). So August/September any good? Clockwise from Yarmouth, through Freshwater Blast down Military Road... Hill climb up St. Catherine's hill... Cruise through Ventnor...

Well 2 weeks on and only 2 people have sent their details so far, so I have not actually started to compile the list (doesn't really seem worth it yet). Plenty of time yet, but probably more use to some of the people undecided on route etc if it were available sooner rather than later...

Anyone know what happened in this auction, seems to have all gone quiet? Max

Chris, Not a bad idea, we could do a tour around the island. Almost like going abroad somewhere exotic, only not quite. Especially as last time I did a tour round the island it was on a push bike, with a tent... Max

Hi Gary, First post from "across the water" as far as I know! Do you come over to the mainland much? There's quite a number of forum members and GT40 Enthusiasts Club members around the Hampshire/Central Southern area. Many attend the monthly club meetings at the West Meon Hut, every 3rd...

Hi Dave, Hello from a very local forum member - live in Wimborne, work in Poole. Maybe you'd like to catch up sometime, or come along with us to the 'local' GT40 Enthusiasts Club meeting at the West Meon Hut, Hampshire. Next meeting is actually next Tuesday (19th Jan) - weather permitting...

I offered to Ian that I would be willing to assist by collating the list of people's travel & accommodation details again, for those who are interested. I know a few people have found it useful in the past either to decide their own arrangements or arrange meeting up/travelling together etc...

I would have thought that acclamation coming from Paul would be enough to sway anyone pondering (buying the car, not selling the wife!). Max

How about forcing IP addresses from all the above locations to be manually checked (one in a blue moon many be genuine, the others can sit and wait to be deleted), but all others to go through the normal levels of checks? Obviously only if it is possible to filter like this.

I will. But I will still add that I know you're a very friendly (& generous) chap - so now we owe each other one so let's call it quits! ;-) Max

I seem to recall a story I read a few years ago about a driver whose tow vehicle broke down, so he took the engine from the race car and put it into the tow vehicle, swapped it back at the track and went on to win the race! Think it was one of the older Brazilian drivers, poss Nelson Piquet...

Despite my earlier reservations etc, I have now sent my cheque too. Cheers, Max
