Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

I think that they have also requested the title to your Lexus F Sport...

Wish you hadn’t mentioned that Bob———- they asked me what my mode of transport was——- Told em it was my AOP bus pass !

Jackie, You can print yourself a new set of gnashers with your new toy.

You had to tell him that. Now the old fart will look like a beaver and blame the dadgum machine.

CRT 2.5 BILLET Engine to make UAE F1H2o debut


It seems that Ba Ba Black Sheep is all show and no go, but I think that you have known that since the beginning...

what was the back story, engine not homologated so how was it ever going to race?

what was the back story, engine not homologated so how was it ever going to race?

According to UIM rules, capacity is the only rule in the O series———- was the same in the FONDA series———— run what you brung, as long as it was under two litres.
Now whether or not you you have to have a homologated engine to race F1 today, I do not know!
Surely CRT were Never naive enough to make an announcement like that before double checking they were eligible!
Apparently ( according to Lasse ) the motors used today are obsolete—— two strokes—— no longer in production——- with no spares from now on——— Mercury of course which pisses him off anyway! Since RUDES have been dead in the water when it comes to competition and racing for nearly thirty years!
Dont have the answer to your question Pilgrim——- But I don’t doubt there are those among us who do!
By the way———— MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR PILGRIM.
Thanks for all the help throughout the year—— much appreciated!

Love you too Johnno———- MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Might go into business as a dental surgeon and falsie fang merchant making smiley gob fulls for $250 a pop, I’ll be Rich in the first month !

Best wishes for Christmas for you and your family,

Will be lots of eating and drinking, its 30F at the moment

[jackiewilson]

Well, you know what Pilgrim——- 30F equates to two below——— that’s damn cold in any language.
Much as I love Lake Garda, going up into the mountains for Christmas doesn’t exactly thrill me.Was in Verona last year——- loved it.
Doing Venice and the Danube this year——— her who shall be ———- wants to go to the opera house and Salzburg——— Im Going for the cuisine.

Make sure you visit Masi and pick up a couple of cases of Amarone to ship home. Good Stuff.

Bloodhound——- the 1000 mph record car went into administration last October ( BELLY UP )—— now some “Entrepreneur “ has stepped in with a big bag of gold to get the project back on track.
Its years behind schedule and looked to be bound for obscurity——- well, it looks like it’s got an extension.

[Bob V]

The Bloodhound never made it's 1000 mph run. The Caldwell CRT 2.5 never ran at Abu Dhabi, but Bluebird was able to spread her wings again...

I wonder when they look at bluebird today what speed do they think it could do safely?

Richard Noble reckoned the 1000 mph was easily attainable with the BLOODHOUND configuration——- but the bloody project was hemoraging money with nothing to show for it—— just wonder how much cash has gone through the BLOOBHOUND turnstiles up to now ?
It might have reached 200 or so in one of the early shakedown runs, but nothing noteworthy or exciting .
Apparently the saviour is a northern lad made good——- lets our know soon as I hear something!

[jackiewilson]

See Manchester United have finally sacked Mourhino——- bit like shutting the gate after the mares been sired.
Dont suppose he gives a flying fart one way or another——- what with a £22,000,000 severance bonus, it’ll be a soft landing. Nice work if you can get it?
Another example of just too much ready cash in football today.
Million pound a month in wages ? You’re having a laugh, that’s this year——- next year. It’ll be a million a week !
Wont stop em rolling all over the pitch in mock agony——- like Olivier after he’s been poisoned in MACBETH ,
You don’t need to go to the theatre these days——- just watch any football match , anywhere in the world.——- great big Jessie’s in a big girls blouse pretending to be sportsmen ! DISGUSTING.!
