Thats what happens when colonial equipment installs U. S. Software, manufactured in China and used by the English, duh?

Goodwood sports its its own individual golf carts, looks like a 1940/s shooting brake, they're called "WOODIES"
From the top of the downs it's possible to see the Isle of Wight, Chichester cathedral, The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth all at the same time.
Theres also another course called "The Park Course"
first time in ten months that I've swung a golf club,( since Tavares last November, )won nine skins and toôk the money .
Hi Jackie, glad you're running around enjoying yourself. The trophies look great.What is a shooting brake?

Dont ya just hate a "Smartarse" !
Lewis did the biz today, start to finish, led all the way ---11poles, seven victories, 53 points in the lead. It's all looking good so far, but the stupid double points system on the last race is something that has to be catered for!
Cant see. Anyone coming anywhere near his performances!
Expect Ferrari to be not just knocking on Lewis's door-----they will be bulldozing the door down to get him on board. That's the only way they can ever get back to winning ways.

He built an all aluminium boat with detachable sponsons, marathon and sprint. Was not wholly successfull---boat had a tendency to leak and took in water waiting for the start.
Bill always was able to "Borrow" the latest version of the rapid and reliable BDG COSWORTH 2 litre motors. Unfortunately he was not an outstanding driver. But, he was a good innovator.
He was involved in the designing and testing of safety cells in the early days, he went down the aluminium road but came to a dead end when he dropped a mannequin in the cell from a crane and "Killed" it.!

I guess they have the same top speed?Quote:

Had a chopper licence for a couple of years and a glider licence, but never got around to fixed wings?
Jackie am I right in thinking Trevor Fox had a hand in building that hull or maybe thinking of another version??Quote:

North American AT-6///SNJ----
- Maximum speed: 208 mph at 5,000 ft (335 km/h at 1,500 m)
- Cruise speed: 145 mph (233 km/h)
Trevor had retired by then, I don't think he was part of Bills program. COSWORTH had many bright lads working there. The two nose cones on my boat were done "in house"--- there were many companies closely associated with COSWORTH, Malcolm Tyrrel or Ian Hawkins know a lot more than I do"Quote:
