Is there anyway to fool the CAA that all aeroplanes called Lightings are the same? Is there a chance that we could slip an EE one into the air under a “misunderstanding”? :diablo:

Besides, is a GT40 not a ‘Sports Car’
Ummmm…. Errrrrrrr…. Arse! Caught myself out. It was available as a road legal 2 seater so no arguement really.

I’ve seen a few Gold Leaf Elise(s?) on the road, but Lotus are pretty flexible with their paint schemes. I reckon the 49 had the better lines – the early 70’s cars were quite ugly IMHO.
I also found some pics of the Essex Type 81 – that’s quite nice (and the Esprit that came out at the same time!).
Steve, them’s GT cars not racing cars 🙂 Still achingly beautiful though.

Ford GT40 in Gulf colours for me. Also the Gold Leaf Lotus (49?) – Lotus did an Elise in these colours. In my opinion the the most drool worthy Elise colours ever!

Waiting for F1 to be good again.
Nope – Ixion

I wouldn’t dare – I got a long hard stare off of SWMBO for putting bearing races in the freezer and the associated brake drums in the oven at Tmax. 😀 😀
I think I did say at the time that she’s lucky that the Dishwasher hadn’t been pressed into service yet.

I’ll check the model number in the morning – It could be 2 things causing mine to fry. Either the monitor (got a purple spot on the top right of the screen) or my PDA (an old Journada) as it locked up when I docked that. I won’t be mentioning that fact to our technical experts…
JC
I think I’m to much of an Engineer at heart – I’m starting to like ’em better with their clothes off and their bits hanging out. Or is it just a male thing? :diablo:
JC
Gratuitous? Moi?
Luvverly.
I’m looking forward to the full story – Since I came aboard in June she’s been transformed.
Well done that man, very pleased for you.
JC
Good innit! I am however looking forward to the spring.. I’d forgotten how cold airfields are in the winter.
JC
Oh, I’d forgotten about that beastie in all the excitement and flat batteries!!
JC
Guess what! It just died again! What a bunch of arse. Luckily we’ve got a couple of spare “hot” desks in the office so work can go on…
JC
Bump
The state of the Aircraft would suggest that a few more of the crew should have survived?
JC
Bah Humbug. I’ve been here 6 months now.
My New Year’s Resolution is to meet more Forum people (although if things go to plan that may be easier than I ever envisiged!). Still annoyed that I missed Steve Young and Texantomcat at Bruntingthorpe last September.
I’ll be in Norfolk over Christmas so I *might* be available for a social drink. Things are still a little vague…

Maybe Key Publishing should produce titles such as “Trisha Monthly” or “Practical Jerry Springer”. That should cover the GD content :diablo:
