I am extremely impressed by the statement "even my wife had a good time"... Must have been great.

Well I think it's a good idea to have umbrellas handy in case...... oh, the girls..............

Wow! I've travelled quite a bit in Scotland by train, and I'm now glad I always had a ticket. Mind you, i don't tend to argue with inspectors.

Troy, apologies for posting your pic without credits. I didn't recognise you from the ad as another GT40 tragic. I hope the rear suspension on your Triumph is better than the swing axles I had on a Triumph Herald decades ago.

That's a typical radical view from you right wing hippies.

To match an original Mk III road car you need to have, according to the road tests I have in my library, tangling seat belts, interior trim half un-glued, loose carpets sliding around, poor seats, and a generally shabby level of finish. I think we should improve on this, for such a great car.

+1 Jim. I don't care who started it, go outside and play in the snow.

Cliff, you are becoming quite whimsical in your senior years :)

Having troubles saving and posting the pic. Here we go again:)

Hey, here is a modified Triumph Vitesse for sale cheaply here in Oz (very rare model here). But the dashboard looks very familiar, and the steering wheel is even detachable.

Richard, firstly your luggage box looks GREAT. That is just what a road-going 40 (ie. serious road-going, notjust driving to the race track) needs. Lift-out is ideal, too. You may want to use a layer or two of that insulation all over the box, to avoid cooking the luggage inside. Please let...

I've been there, and the thought of all those young guys left where they died is very sobering.

Howard, I think Dictator fits better than King. But please don't take this as criticism, I don't want to disappear.

Does anyone on the Forum have any acquaintance with the Barnard B7?

Oh, the poor little S800! That should give it a big fright!

Fran, it is not right for you to be enjoying yourself like this. Now get back to work :)

Thanks Barry. We really appreciate all the pics of what must be described as an extraordinarily well-preserved original car.

These Quonset huts were developed as a quick and cheap erection during WW2, not that this helps you with your question. But the strength is in the shape (ie. cross section shape) so you can't just spread it or raise it, it has to follow the curve I believe.

For the knickers to fly off, you would have to be braking to a stop. Assuming the passenger was facing forwards. Of course, kneeling and facing rearwards...Aw heck, I've lost my train of thought now.

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars Switches are not trivial. Such a simple thing as a really positive feel and "click" to the switching can make a difference to one's enjoyment of a car.
