    Isn’t that a bit of a generalisation or are you implying that most members are atheist, republican ramblers?:D

    Hi Charlie. Just to clear this up, it is me who is the `atheist republican rambler` 😀

    I think people need to have a good look at the rule changes for next season. Forget the car numbers and all that rubbish. The cars are going to be very different next season, even if the only external difference are slightly different wings and nose, underneath are new engines, turbo`s, 2 x energy recovery systems, exhaust etc. Obviously Adrian Newey is going to build a car that will put Red Bull `up there` but everybody is starting from scratch and I expect some new contenders for race wins. We wont know until we some testing but I expect a `blast from the past` to re-emerge next year 😉

    Honestly Axel you are wasting your time.
    As you say there is a lot of action/racing all the way through the pack and thankfully that is now shown by the TV producers, unlike the days of watching a Ferrari for a couple of hours. I love the sport too because I understand and appreciate what it is, a team sport. From the driver to the cleaner at the factory it is a team sport. A sport as much about the race between the designers and engineers as it is between the drivers. That is not to say that any driver can drive the best car and win. Webber has not matched Vettel in identical cars but then I doubt that Vettel would have performed any where near as well as Alonso has in the Ferrari this year. There are problems caused by money in F1 eg absolute garbage tracks in the desert, but money does not buy you the championship. If it did then then Toyota would have won every championship they competed in and not had to pack in like they did.
    I could talk about F1 all day but there is no point on here. It is on the list, along with saying there is no god and there should be no monarchy 😮

    j_jza80 I saw that one at an Elvington show years ago, it was very impressive.
    I had an RC B-29 of my own. One of those electric, steer by varying power to the props jobs. I got a good 30/40 seconds of flying out of that ha ha.
    Looking forward to the next update robmac.

    Happy Birthday, hope you have had a great day 😮
    I have met Anne, I have no idea how she knew it was us, but she spotted me and Blue2 at Duxford a few years ago. `Mr and Mrs Bumblebee` are both very nice people.
