Keith - how dare you mix my metaphors! There is no one to challenge Paul in the 2011 farting series, he will simply blow them all away.

Paul really rated his chances in the 2011 karting challenge

God Simon that should come with a warning, I've tears streaming down my face now, everyone at work is wondering what the hell.......

Ho Ho Ho, although I'm sure she would refute that!

Welcome Henry and what an intro - one of the most detailed and flowing one's I have seen, and obviously from a very erudite gentleman (I will refrian from making comments like you therefore can't be native Australian - damn I just did didn't I?) I hope you enjoy the forum and get to live the...

Mine arrived on Saturday too, only flicked through it so far as there were several mags arrived on that day. Tony, I have an article that I wrote for the IAM local mag (Bath) some time back, entitled "Living with the dream" I will look it out and send on to you for your expert eye to peruse and...

Paul, as mentioned earlier Desmond has said that the limit is 105dB, for worried 40 owners ( I know they won't fit the cobs side pipes) in an earlier post I mentioned some add ons that I purchased to make my 40 quieter. Here is a link to that site. Trackday Silencers : ACT Performance Products...

I'm still a fan too, and I think the ratings are still high, the latest series that will start soon sees a new Stig after Ben Collins "outed" himself. If you watch TG with the expectation of seeing three fully grown 10 year olds dicking about in cars then it is still very entertaining. As for...

Looking back on the emails Desmond has also said that the noise limit is 105dB. At the only track day I have tried to attend I was measured at between 101 and 104dB so my car should qualify as is. I will be taking my add on silencers (approx 5dB reduction) as a precaution. These are 2.5inch DIA...

My cheque will be sent tonight, so looking forward to getting on the track. Desmond has said there are now about 17 booked (not including me) and that is not enough, we may yet get it cancelled. Hope we get enough to make it happen. If it goes ahead I hope to see you all there.

Was that a competition to see how many GT40s they could get into the smallest space? They even regulate sardines in a tin more than that! You are right, what an aladdin's cave. Did I see some drool on some of the cars? you need to be more careful when so close to all that super machinery. I have...

John and Trevor, is it because the people that plagiarise your images and extracts from your books know that it's not worth your time taking them to court? If they have got away with it for so long do they just assume they are OK? If you contact them and request that they remove all your...

Welcome Matt, and don't worry that the timing isn't right just yet, it will be one day and then......:thumbsup:

The website is still showing it's on. I've left a message with John the organiser to get back to me to confirm.

Well, it had better be on because I'm going on Saturday. Weather permitting I'll be in the 40. I'll do a quick check and update you.

A British Billion is much bigger than an American Billion - it's about the only thing left for us to boast about being bigger than the US version ;-)

It's back to the loophole thing, if you were in their position would you do different? If there were a check on this ie, you pay your tax in the country you earn it then there would be a lot less deserters, that might mean of course that F1 drivers and mega bands get to pay taxes in several...

We haven't booked anything yet, it's very much in the planning stage, but when I have more details I'll send you a PM.

Welcome Gabriele, I suspect there are not too many GT40s in Sardinia so if you are thinking of buying it might be tricky for you to "go compare" I am thinking about taking the family to Sardinia next year (Cagliari area) so if I make it and you are around perhaps we could meet up for a beer and...

Paul; can't fault you on your statment, it is an amazing forum, but then it is an amazing car too, lots of very knowledgeable people on board here and some great examples of the marque with historical pieces and detailed replica build projects - everything the GT40 anorak could want (and I...
