Thanks, but we’re out. It’s 7am on Monday and pissing down and we’re the only ones left on site now. I am wrecked. The winning car in our class literally exploded as it left the track. Much amusement.

Ruptured petrol tank. Fuck a duck!!!

It’s fucking fucked mate, big time.

Will explain later

Yesterday was intense. Loved my driving stint. More today.

Chapman, Hill, DeLorean, Hunt, Rindt, Clark, Spannermonkey. Dream Team.

Test day. One lap. Car broke. Did swearing. Fixed car. Lots of quite fast laps. Met others…

Awesome little car show when we went for dinner last night. Test day today. There’s a V8 powered Miata in the same class as us, we are gonna be pretty slow here I think

Gunman on the loose locally. If I get shot I’ll be really, really annoyed.

Hello, This is MotorPunk, I am out of the office for a week now in order to indulge my 1970s F1 racing fantasy. If your call is urgent then tough shit.

Lovely colour! MOT system says 25k miles and no MOT for 2 years.

Coming back to this... I never found a Gamma Coupe, but wrote a meaty feature about them in the November 2023 edition of Classic Retro Modern magazine which, if this (and 205s, Kia Elans, Citroen C5s, Renault RX4s etc) takes your fancy, then please buy a copy here and help keep print alive; https://classicretromodern.com/product/pre-order-issue-25-retail-shop-cover-edition-now-on-sale-in-the-shops-on-1st-november-2023-free-pp-uk-only/

Knackers. No reply from seller. Does anyone else have some retro ear defender / aviation headset I can scrounge, please?

Ahem. Me. But these aren't made for the track.

The show is done and the public will never see the footage which maimed Freddy, everyone who was there will have been legally wrapped up to keep schtum.

Thanks, High Jetter

That's bloody perfect! I should have guessed that Chapman uses aviation-spec headsets, I was searching for generic headphones. I've messaged the seller who is 200 bloody miles away, I hope I can get a response in time... thanks so much for the link

* urgent help needed * (How do I change the title btw?) Yeah, I've had a year to prepare, and I'm off on Tuesday.... I urgently need to complete my Colin Chapman look. I have the hat, the yellow shirt, the moustache... I am desperate for a set of headphone as below to compete the look. Can't find anything even remotely close on eBay. Anyone got anything I can buy/scrounge/steal/rent? Please? My fellow team mates are nicely kitted out as Hill, Rindt, Hunt, etc.. anything I can get my hands on to complete the Chapman look would be great. Help!

As I recall Buck Rogers was one one channel and Dukes on another, at the same time. I remember flicking between the two. Can we have an Airwolf thread, too? I always thought Knight Rider was shite even as a little kid, although I happily watched all of the ‘turbo boost’ jumps on YouTube recently, 45 odd mins of crap stunts, and bloody loved it. 😂

Thank you so much! Worth c.£1.3 million, apparently! https://cars.bonhams.com/auction/26999/lot/211/the-ex-juan-augusto-malcolmargentina1928-maserati-tipo-26b-21-litre-sports-gran-premio-and-formule-libre-racing-two-seater-chassis-no-35/

I don't know why they bother, honestly. They're chasing a shrinking audience and there are a thousand better, more genuine shows, on YouTube. They've got a tiny budget to make these things, no time, it's all so superficial.

Good point on the 480, interesting parallel. Still, your car looks bloody awesome, regardless of what it's going to be worth.
