It's been mentioned on CMSHG but nobody responded. It would be great if we could get someone in there and find out what they have. No list of contents, even an overview, has ever been published to my knowledge.

John - are you able to see what 10 Tenths members live around Toronto?

Allen

**John Turner** · 17 Jan 2007, 09:42 (Ref:1817302)

No, sorry, I can only search by username. I can only suggest a PM to Georgethecar, in the hope that he picks it up in time.

Leighton Irwin · 17 Jan 2007, 15:52 (Ref:1817660)

Bob Harrington is about 30 to 50 miles away and has connections from his days as a CASC official. I have no idea what they still have but I think the address is or was that of the Ont. region of CASC. When Muriel Knapp was alive she would have kept everything.

allenbrown · 17 Jan 2007, 15:59 (Ref:1817668)

The Archive apparantly has all the CASC materials.

I'd love to know whether they have race results for Formula A and B races in the period 1968-1971 but it seems that the only way to find out is to get in there and look.

Leighton Irwin · 17 Jan 2007, 16:38 (Ref:1817699)

At that time CASC was comprised of several regions, Maritimes, Quebec, Ont, Prairie and BC. Ont. is the only surviving region. Power struggle and different NTL. governing body now. I suspect most of the archives are from Ont. where Muriel was Ma Knapp and really ran the Region no matter who the elected officials were.
There is a good chance that she was able to get a hold of the Ntl. Archives during or after the power struggle. Again Bob Harrington is the best bet and he is a member of the Forum.

**John Turner** · 25 Jan 2007, 10:51 (Ref:1825526)

I'm noting more and more that racing car dealers are quoting chassis nos. in their adverts (good on them), and I was struck by this coincidence in the latest issue of Octane:-

1963 ISO Grifo A3/C, chassis B 0201 (Hall & Bradfield, Pg 131)
1964 ISO Grifo A3/C, chassis B 0202 (Grand Prix Classics, Pg 150)

Can't be too often that rare cars with consecutive chassis nos. appear for sale in the same mag.

Would you be willing to disect the March 722-to-772 thread?

Before I get into the French 762s, I think it would be beneficial to start a specific 762 thread. There is very little 762-relevant content in the big thread, mainly just posts 194 and 206-210. There are relevant mentions on posts 125, 159 and 191 which might warrant copying the post and very minor references on posts 187, 190 and 215 which could be ignored.

If you're happy to make this amend, I'll also go though and identify the 772 content as that would be even easier to strip out. That would leave us with a thread covering the 722, 732, 742 and 752.

Allen

**John Turner** · 28 Feb 2007, 10:35 (Ref:1853650)

Yep, no problem, Allen.

allenbrown · 28 Feb 2007, 15:09 (Ref:1853840)

772 bits are easier:

Posts 1-5; 14 (part?); 25; 74-75; 175-193; 195-197; 215. I have left behind anything that talks about a car that was modified into a 772.

I noticed there are some 772P posts still there. I'm not sure whether copies of thee are now in the 772P thread and they can be safely removed or whether they got left behind.

**John Turner** · 28 Feb 2007, 19:42 (Ref:1854018)

I'll have a crack at sorting this over the next few days.

**John Turner** · 1 Mar 2007, 09:35 (Ref:1854424)

I have removed the off topic posts of Drifty, Chris, Allen and myself, from the Tecno F2 thread.

**John Turner** · 3 Mar 2007, 09:55 (Ref:1856788)

Thread now split out to include all posts referred to by Allen above but suitably (I hope!) edited. Where the posts appear to be 772 related, I have also highlighted the reference to 762 to show why they have been left in, and for continuity. The latter reason also explains why I have left the references to David Franklin's 772-10 - see post #3.

**John Turner** · 3 Mar 2007, 10:32 (Ref:1857094)

Separate thread now in place. Will now edit/delete where necessary in the original thread multi type thread.

allenbrown · 3 Mar 2007, 11:07 (Ref:1857114)

Thanks John

Could the March 723 thread be moved into the Archive please.

Allen

petestenning · 6 Apr 2007, 15:47 (Ref:1884972)

Hi John,
re-LolaT70 mk3 b.

As i have some updated material is it possible to be able to modify the 1st post on the thread, so all info on the chassis are availible on one post?.

Or is there a way i can update the post ?.

Pete

**John Turner** · 7 Apr 2007, 09:24 (Ref:1885332)

Hi, Pete,

It shouldn't be a problem. If you go to your first post, you can hit the 'Quote' button and then start editing it so that the amendments appear in your new post. You can then take out the quote brackets, so that it appears as a completely new post. Alternatively, of course, you can drag the cursor across the whole of first post to highlight it, right click, select 'copy' and then paste it in the new post, and again edit it, with the same result.

(Reminder to me - a further update to be made to the Chris Beighton car!)

Allen, you've answered the question I was about to pose. Will be done, Sir!

petestenning · 7 Apr 2007, 09:34 (Ref:1885340)

Thanks John knew there must be a way

Pete

John

Could Steve's new 713M thread be merged into the 703 thread already in the archive. The 703 thread has talked more about 713s than 703s so I guess it should renamed to "March 703 - 713".

Thanks

Allen

**John Turner** · 17 May 2007, 17:16 (Ref:1915467)

Now done, Allen.

allenbrown · 9 Jun 2007, 19:41 (Ref:1933413)

John

Could you merge Drifty's new March 792 thread into the original one please?

Thanks

Allen

Would it be a help if there was a sticky with an index to facilitate navigation? It's probably not a must-have but it would save using 'guess and scroll'

It could be as simple as

Page First Entry

ALD
Brabham BT23
Chevron B29
FIA GT
Lola T70 Mk3B
Martini F2
Sunbeam Tigers - The Works cars

That is a very good idea indeed and will facilitate easier access.

Also how about a slight realignment? Why not put the Display Options at the top of the page as I tend to re-order the sequence by Last Date Posted.

**John Turner** · 18 Aug 2007, 10:28 (Ref:1991197)

More work for me? I might get around to doing the first one. Not sure I understand the second request, Steve.
