No not to the top.... I dont do heights and suffer from vertigo. I go to as far as the tunnel maybe a bit beyond and thats the end of my comfort zone! Also a weak knee on a replacement waitlist isnt rock clambering friendly (certainly not whilst o/s anyway)

Also heading back to Aus. this weekend. Just realised I am transiting in Singapore the same day as the GP. Only for a couple of hours though and only realised a couple of days ago. Had I reasised sooner I might have made a quick change of plan.

Pouring with rain here atm!

Thanks for the lovely varied pictures to look at over the past week, it was nice to have something different to look at other than blue skies as we were in Cornwall.
Now we're home I need something different to look at other than dark grey skies, rain & thunderstorms!

Nice to know you like the snaps, chaps, here are a few more for your pleasure.

Hi! EB, All is well here in the Soviet Republic of Starmerburg.

Live here reminds me of a President Reagan joke.

Two Russians are talking, one asks; "Is this it? Have we finally reached a state of perfect Communism?"

"Oh! No" replied the other; "Things have got to get a lot worse yet."

I have recovered from the various back problems that held my fight for fitness back, and I am getting out a lot more. Slowly my legs are improving as I walk more, while no pleasure, I can get to Tesco and do a bit of shopping. A doddle for any one else, but a major achievement for me.

Well you did ask.

Glad to hear things are improving. Thanks for the update. Hopefully it continues and you will be back trackside soon.
Always good when you start a set of snaps off with a couple of Mk 1 Cortinas. Ta.

Great photos as always. What is the car in the first of the last patch? Looks like a Cooper with a wider nose.

I just take the pictures, anything with the exception of an early F3 car, that has its engine at the rear is a mystery to me, however, our ex-patriate, EB is bound to know.

My best guess is that the car in question is a Cooper that some big bloke (or bird) sat on.

Blimey, pressure is on. Firstly case of mistaken identity in terms of Bobs comment. Without doubt there are many here far more knowledgeable than I. Mr Sketchley I am looking at you in particular!.

However I will give it a go.... Im thinking an F2 spec Cooper either T45 but probably a T51.
*Happy to be corrected* (RBS will correct me no doubt providing a chassis number!)

E.B · 28 Sep 2024, 16:51 (Ref:4228779)

It is indeed a 1959 F2 spec Cooper T51, driven by Helmut Gassmann from Germany.

Bob was right you did not need me, you had it correct before I had seen it!

Happy Daves;

Not sure the driver of the damaged replica Lancia would be happy, even if his name was Dave.
