This is not the place for displaying pictures, that is for the Parade, but these are cluttering up my Parade folder; Can you name the different models? (I can't)

[Gerard C]

Yes, 'f course. They all are Alfa Romeo's from Milano. In another thread the blue car is not a Matra, I'll go for Gordini.

Re the people, well room for improvement. Knew all the F1 folk young and old, but abysmal on the others.... though I did get Plato.
Ebrey, Bricknell and 'Percy' I have never heard of.(the only Percy I know is Win and it wasnt him!)
Ingram I have heard of (know the name) but wouldnt have a clue what he looks like. Paul Woolmer is a name I seem to recognise but know not from where.
Minassian I obviously know the name, recognised the face as one I knew... but couldnt put the two together. Definately room for improvement on the non F1 people.
I blame it on the questions.

Well that makes me feel better about not having heard of Andy Bricknell..... not that I have heard of Andy Britnell either mind you.

Andy was about a few years ago driving Porsches and in a Mosler.

Are you sure about the answers of #72?

This is the Historic section.

I am sure 'Percy' might not post anymore pictures on the Parade, after EB's remarks.

Why is it that people who take little or no part in tackling the puzzles, are all to ready to criticise and point out mistakes.


How are you John, do you miss the old Silverstone Press Room?

I may not submit many answers (because I don't know many answers) but I do take an interest in the puzzles.
To answer your question of 'why', I suppose it's simply just revenge!

I just don't have that much time to spend online.

... and yea, I miss the old Silverstone Media Centre, & some of those whom I enjoyed the company of over the years, thinking particularly of yourself (it must be getting on for 40 years!), David Hodges (my mentor) & too many others to mention.

I'm a bit too creaky these days as I now have arthritis in my lower spine, so no more chasing after young F3 drivers for quotes or dodging those that throw stones. Yes, you, Nicolas Minassian!

John, let's bore the rest of 'em with some nostalgia.

Do you recall Peter Poole of the Loughborough Echo, he was a regular at most club meetings, always full of stories of his International ramblings?

Our favourite (Eric and me) was of his journey to the Nurburgring in his VW camper van, and picking up two German girls for a night of passion. Peter was old porky and highly unattractive to women I'm sure.

Having worked in the Wing at a few Grands Prix, I must say it was a soulless experience, completely devoid of 'atmosphere', so different from the old wooden hut of the 60's. Did you ever work at the circuit when we used an old double decker bus at the end of the Club Straight, before the Complex was addded?

As one poster here would say Happy Days.

I only turned to journalism in 1985, so the double-decker bus is before my time. However, I don't remember where we were prior to the Jimmy Brown Centre.

I'd forgotten about Pete Poole, but yes I knew him - he was certainly a bit of an eccentric! Didn't he come from Sheffield or somewhere like that?

I also remember someone else who travelled in a camper van & was everywhere but I was never quite sure whether he was an actual journalist or not. Can't remember his name.

... and then there was the insufferable Jonathon & his lady friend, they of matching shell suits. Dave Fern hated them because they didn't do much but were always the last to leave.

Remember Trevor Williamson?
