  1. Brilliant, I had chance to speak to Roger and his navigator at Silverstone on the 'Tour of Britain' in 1976 many, many moons ago. He was our youngest son's hero, when Matt was only 6 years old. The only time he was speechless. James Hunt was driving a Camaro! It was a combined rally stage and race circuit competition.
  2. For my 76th birthday, from our eldest son in Canada.
  3. Looks like a super kit, and have not seen it before. I'm building the Toyota Carina E of 1993. I certainly remember the Audi Saloon Car Teams during my 20+ years of Marshalling a Silverstone. I must look out for this kit!
  4. As our house move has collapsed (Groan, Very Sad) I've started building again (Hooray).
  5. Thanks guys. The colour is impregnated in the mould prior to laying up the fibreglass, so even if scratched it still shows red!
  6. Yes Vic Lee was definitely controversial, yes I had seen him many times at Silverstone where I was a marshall. 22.12pm Just ordered two rattle cans of Tamiya T14 Sky Blue paint!
  7. For my 76th Birthday on the 17th (St Patricks Day). I shall decal it No.2 Will Hoy, an acquaintance in the day.
  8. News that the ruling body are scrapping hybrid cars in WRC next year!
  9. Cheers Andy, Yes I have to find some wide but 1/32 scale wheels/tyres first. I hope to see yours soon!
  10. Our new next door neighbour works there, he's a specialist in making race/rally car exhausts, or as I call them 'bunches of bananas'!
  11. Thanks for the pictures! We only have the Heritage Centre at Bicester Airfield down here on the Bucks/Oxon border. No rallying due to roads being badly damaged by HS2 and East West Rail work, lots of traffic lights, still on over weekends but actual work being done! . No stations nearby, ghost village and farming land destroyed for nothing.
  12. Thanks Noel. Amazing what is hidden back there somewhere.
  13. Thanks guys. Yes Jim time flies I still remember the first day at school when I screamed the place down! Yes Spiny brilliant way to try and cope with what they tell us is that other than getting married and having offspring moving is up there for stress, unfortunately the lady we are buying from has had yet another poor survey on another place she's gone for! Is that the second or third for her! Thanks Windy37, yes Gerry was a great man weighing in at around 20 stone plus and being very jolly spending most of any race weekend in the bar! Yes Noel Smith Buckingham has got a very decent tip, but others around us have been shut down and then the councils moan about fly tipping! We have a high street of charity shops and coffee shops, card only parking, no cash! All of the banks/building societies have gone and the Post Office is very busy and the place to go to get things done!
