Hi everyone. I'm being forced to decline this one. I received a summons to visit my grandfather for lunch in Bournemouth on that day and dare not refuse! (It's his birthday). Best wishes, and Merry Christmas to all. Charles

David, the proof of the pudding, etc here translates to "An insurance company is only as good as its payment of claims". Has anyone here been unfortunate enough to make a claim on their insurance for an accident in a 40? I sincerely hope not. Anyway, I use Aon, one of the companies mentioned...

Guys, I have to say that my experience was much better. I purchased some upgrade spares from another club member through the spares secretary. The parts in question had only recently been removed from the car and I would think that there was no time to update the spares database, which is only...

Ron, they have a website with contact details at www.arielmotor.co.uk and are based in Somerset, in the west of England. I would think it's an absolute maximum of 3 hours driving from London. Charles

JP, FOB means Free On Board at the loadport and does not include freight charges to the port of destination. If you buy basis FOB you will need to factor in freight and insurance costs to your calculations. I think you're referring to to CIF/CFR trade terms when you mention a cost delivered to...

Frank, may I also add my congratulations. Once again the day ran smoothly, no doubt due to your organisational efforts, and almost everyone (except Malcolm) left with a big grin on their faces. Apart from the 40s, the Listers, Tojeiro, D type and Maserati 450S made the day extra special...

It's my favourite time of year, with the insurance renewal documents arriving through my letter box This year my track day cover would be "subject to insurers being notified in advance AND APPROVING (my capitals) the venue and organisers" I spoke to the broker, who told me not to worry...

Well come on, Andrew. Tell us what these "high numbers" are. Don't be shy!!

Yes, I'm keen to go to Donington, dates permitting. Are there any on the horizon, and is there anyone else out there who would like to come along? Roy, Paul, Andrew, Dave, Ray, Frank etc...? Malc, as regards your future F1 champion, it's worth remembering that he/she made a good start by...

This bartering with the wife thing - I also have some experience. This is my story: 1. Yes I will marry you, but only if you buy me a Ducati 916 first. 2. Yes you can have a baby, but only if you buy me a GT40 first. Got the bike in good time (now sold) but drove home the 40 on the day she...
