Gordon, smart marshals clear everything up after an incident, but don't expect to find too many of them overthere.
Track staff couldn't care less what's behind the armco, that is related to work.

Terry, for goodness sake, don't give them another good idea.

About 12 years ago I was at Castle Combe and during the lunch break after breakfast a marshall came and found me in the paddock and presented me with a ring spanner which he was absolutely admamant fell from my car...trying to deny it was useless, as he was 100% sure it was mine ( despite it being a different and far superior make to anything in my toolbox) ...anyway as it was a very nice Snap On one, I kept it, and still have it. Perhaps there should be a "spanner amnesty" ...anyone lose one?!

I've lost my bonnet stay. It was there when I shut the bonnet (hood). But its not there now!

Al Weyman · 28 Oct 2007, 19:42 (Ref:2053558)

I lost me front spoiler earlier in the season but I think it had something to do with taking a trip into the Silverstone litter! :-(

Eddy V · 28 Oct 2007, 20:25 (Ref:2053584)

Mmmm, maybe time to start a thread "Lost and found"?

My idea is to run a race that all can attend and have some fun. I firmly believe that pre65 should run as in period, on period tyres and that cheats in historic motor sport should be strung up by their sack. However, a race in NZ would be a different matter and treated as a holiday for the UK racers.

I'd need about 30 to come over if I was to put on a race (or two) solely for those coming over, or I could organise a combined race with a current NZ series. Your thoughts. I'd be happy to start another thread so we don't hijack this one.

Maybe John could divert these posts off into another thread then.

**John Turner** · 28 Oct 2007, 21:27 (Ref:2053619)

Yep, what should we all it?

**Tim Falce** · 28 Oct 2007, 21:31 (Ref:2053621)

"Do you want to race in NZ" maybe?

How about "Historic Race in NZ 2009?"

Re lost & found, I went with a driver once to the marshall's post near where his clutch blew up upon grabbing second gear, and from the pieces of metal they had swept up he retrieved the clutch fork & a few ears from the engine block that the bellhousing bolt to - the remaining kilo or two of bellhousing was left in the bin!

Slippy diff - perhaps timing that would allow continuation on to Philip Island on March 7-9?

terence · 29 Oct 2007, 08:02 (Ref:2053820)

It,s all a bit like trailer number plates,they were all there before we left,thing,s that drop off during a race like bonnet stay,s,boot hinges----

terence · 30 Oct 2007, 09:47 (Ref:2054695)

Gordon,many thank,s for the DVD,it,s better than some of the official tapes I bought years ago.Now lot,s of people can witness exactly what a hooligan Esper is,how Falcie drives,and how much of a struggle Peter has getting out of an MGB

.Oh,and the amount of brake used by a certain Cortina for Eau Rouge.

**Peter Mallett** · 30 Oct 2007, 09:51 (Ref:2054703)

It fits like a glove. Should fit like a car but maybe by next year it will!

Finger,s !!

After looking at the various photograph,s ,I decided to remove and check the front spring rate,s, 423lb!!,Bit different to what they should be methinks.One new pair on order,that should stop the front shockers from "going off" through working too hard.Next year Peter,we dont have to worry about the Hotel,and you wont need to fight the cars cornering habbits.Hows the Capri?
