This is very sad. Deepest sympathy to Montserrat. I will miss our conversations at the Club meetings. Chris

Transaxle 01E. Sorry, I have apparently already voted on this one and didn't mean to post.

David, what these figures don't show is the number of serious injuries incurred, many of which result in life long disablement and disfigurement for the young soldiers involved. Modern military medical procedures are very good and the seriously wounded who might have died in the past can now be...

I would also like to add that it is even more distressing when innocent spectators of our activities are injured or killed. Chris

I was there at Farnborough on that day with my father when I was about 13 and remember the engines going into the crowd some 200 - 300 yards away. It never ocurred to me at the time that anyone had been be hurt. My mother had seen in the evening newspaper that some spectators had been killed and...

A belated Happy Birthday Ron. Many thanks for the Forum - one of the best. Chris

Tim and I will be competing in the Handicap Class - still 1 signature away from an 'A' licence - with the RF '40, which should be ready by then. Chris

A terrific win by Mark Webber. If he hadn't had the drive through penalty he would have won by a much greater margin. The win is even more commendable in view of the injuries he sustained in his cycling accident during the winter which are by no means completely healed. Chris

Will be there on Friday, with Tim. Chris

Getting the car through SVA should not be a problem as they are only checking that the car is suitable for use on the public highway according to their rules, irrespective of the source of the parts. However, when you apply for the test they may need reassuring that the car is genuinely amateur...

You are quite right - the clipping point on the left as you go over the brow is out of sight. I am no expert on this, but I have driven Spa a number of times, albeit not in a GT40, and I think the secret is to not alter steering (which should be more or less straight by then), brake or throttle...

Hi Frank We (my son Tim and I) hope to be at Goodwood on the 27th June with our Radical SR3 (and a quiet silencer!). Not a '40 I'm afraid, but The RF GT40 project is taking a very long time just to get it driveable on the road let alone turning it into a viable track car. It is almost there...

I agree with everything you have said David. It has been apparent to me for some time that we don't live in a democracy at all and we have a government that just does what it likes, usually against the wishes of the general populace. One example of this is the complete erosion of the concept of...

I stand corrected! Chris

Hi Chris Surely all MKII tail sections are a copy of the original Ford part, including yours - or am I being naive. I would expect any GT40 body to be an exact replica of the original - the kit manufacturers always claim this. Regards Chris

I would love to go, either with Radical or GT40, but am not sure whether I can justify the expense at the moment. Have been for the last 2 years, last year with the Radical. The new garages are very spacious and well equipped with loos and power points - I would guess they could accommodate some...

I should be up for this - the GT40 might even be finished by then! Have you booked a garage and, if so, can I share it and the cost? Chris

P.S. However, if they heard that people were putting Chevvy engines in GT40s, they might just drop the axe! Chris

I don't think the American government would let GM go down - it would have too many political implications. You never know, however.

Terrific job by the pilot. If you can walk away from it (or swim away?) it is a landing they say. The Airbus 320 has fly by wire controls - for how long would they be effective with all engines out? I console myself with the thought that they must have thought of that! Chris
