Superman was having a weekend drink with The Hulk. The Hulk says what have you been up to? Superman says I flew across the Pacific yesterday. Half way I looked down and saw Wonderwoman laying on a secluded beach, naked with her l**gs wide open. So I thought, why not, I'll drop down and we...

Apologies in advance for this one. Two men, one owes the other £6. The guy who owes the money has a pet squid that's just returned from the vet, ailing and not well. So he says to the guy he owes money to, "Here's the sick squid I owe you." Sorry

I remember seeing it pass through Becketts ( the original one) Silverstone circa 1972, me aged 16 years. On three wheels, it was an awesome sight.

Thanks JP as always, and Murf. Yes, it's the Cortina one. I've got one on it's way to me now.

I want to replace the steering rack gaiters. Does anyone know what rack is used as standard factory. So I can source the best gaitors. I'm in the UK. Thanks

Thanks JP I'll check that through.

Any Photos? :)

Thanks very much for this positive info. As for the budget clones - It sounds like they are up to the job if used on a sole car and occasionally only. The premium brands being right for frequent, semi professional / professional use?

The car's a Southern GT40 - 347 - With the "OEM" Southern Header Tank - i/c Bleed Pipe from Radiator to Header. I'm interested to hear peoples bleeding technique. How consistent it is. I'm thinking of getting a vacuum fill system but wanted to know first if this might be a panacea for all...

Douglas, I have a SGT40 factory built by Mick - standard width body with Mick's standard alloys. His alloys are made by "Image" and they hold the dimensions on file. I wanted a second set so contacted Image. My alloys the "standard" spec, ie 8 x 15 and 10 x !5 for a standard width body. As...

As an eighteen year old I painted my two Bell Star 1's. The first in Wilson's colours and the second in Emerson's colours. Anyone else remember dual engined Beetle they entered in the Thousand Miles of Guanabara?

Thanks for taking the time to set out your view on this, Howard. You've put into words better than I could the complexities of this dilemma. I think most would not want to use their GT40 in the rain, so that probably explains the lack of response to my question. My guts draw me to a street tyre...

As per the title I'm looking for as many ideas and recommendations as possible. I'm wanting the best possible wet track tyre for full wet conditions only - no dry track use. The tyre can be specced as full race, track day, or a road legal tyre. I don't mind; just a tyre that does the best job...

I spent my life doing that. Some changed - Some moved a bit - Some were totally stuck

"test case" - love the double entendre I wish I hadn't found that link! That'll keep me occupied through the winter evenings / your summer, Ryan.

Thanks so much for the FIA Archives Link. The 68 & 69 regulations follow on without change. 60cm x 40cm x 20cm x2 Cases. The frame/rack should be 80cm x 60cm with enough head clearance for 20cm to the underside of the clip. I'm surprised about there being 20cm clearance between the frame and...

How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb's got to want to change.

This is a contemporary photo from the "...autobiography of P1075" of P1075 with the frame visible. So, the frame was fitted to P1001 and P1075 at least.

Yes, P1001, I recall was at Goodwood Revival 2023, in Essex Wire Livery no 60, as it raced for part of it's history.

Here's a contemporary photo of P1001 from here - https://www.jacky-ickx-fan.com/web/site_xfiles.php?id=9 So, the frame appears to be a consistent part of the car.
