There she blows. Thanks everyone for your support.

[Peter Mallett]

Sadly it took this to get you to post photos up the right way!

You'll have to let us know what can be rescued, if anything.

[Gerard C]

OMG, the white kettle! You know Iain, when he farts he farts! Hope he rescued his ba*ls and underwear. Would be a piece of luck.

[drbob]

Good advice Monsieur Gerard. I have called PA. LMC entries open on 28 October.

[Gerard C]

Merci a vous, Robert. Hope the new stage of tune of your Elite will allow to catch up with Fillon's but my advice, should you intend to overtake him, is to do it at night !
As to the list of the accepted cars in each grid, it won't be surprising to see that the most important person of this world has already been working on it atm.

A proper job then Iain.

Very sad to have that happen but at least it was caught on camera by a top photographer! Future memories guaranteed.

Of course, whether you want those memories is another matter - but a tale to tell, with evidence, over a few beers maybe? Or to keep a grandchild occupied?

Talking about dreams , has anybody else done this .
Dreaming I was driving on a mountain road , bend comes up with a drop off a cliff ahead . Hit the brakes hard and woke up in pain with a pulled muscle in my leg . Very painful and you have to get up quick and put your foot on the floor .
It does take some time before it is OK again .

What is very painful is when you get up quick and forget to put your feet on the floor…

[delta]

Not that this happens very often but I wake clutching the steering wheel on my race car not being able to move a muscle . It’s blooming frighting. Not sure what happens next but I really have to concentrate to get moving again . It’s a relief .

Sleep paralysis. It's quite common. I never have such an exciting dream as holding a steering wheel, but I do get the paralysis.

Or do you mean you get the paralysis *at the wheel of your car.* That is indeed a bigger problem particularly for the other drivers

Pulling a muscle is very painful, probably more than just falling out of bed .
The muscle in your leg , [ calf ], get pulled out of place and bulges out .I have found you need to put your foot hard onto the floor and rub your calf , and it can often be 10 minutes before you can actually stand up or walk .

Usually I don,t remember when I have dreams , but waking up suddenly with a lot of pain does tend to make them stick out .
Possibly the braking hard in the dream is the cause of it , and I do remember from many years ago doing a Rally in Germany where a stage round the side of a mountain had Caution Boards as skull and crossbones on a few corners ,
and if you went off it was a sheer drop for several hundred feet .So that might stick in your memory and come back in dreams .

Anyway , winter draws on ,[ hope Bauble doesn, t see this ,] nights are pulling in and the satellites can be seen going over again .Amazing sight when about 30 odd of them come over in a line at 340 miles high .Depending on cloud cover , might be visible at nearly 6.30 PM tonight , going west to east .
Can be tracked on . "SpaceX Starlink Satellites Tracker "

Oooops , just realised I spelt knickers wrong , but that can happen when you are in a rush to get it/them down .

[bauble]

Maybe you prefer something sexier?

[Tel 911S]

I think people can now see why I was worried about using the phrase " Winter Draws On "

Jeepers this thread has gone way off topic. back to Historic racing and Historic cycle thread. My life long racing chum Alan Morgan has been in the wars recently. After some internal combustion work last week he is now on the road to recovery. We left his house last night to go for a curry with Mrs Morgan's words ringing in my ear." Dont let him drink to much ".Anyway all is good and here's is the proof.
