I read that in Germany in the great depression people used a wheelbarrow to collect their wages and muggers would nick your wallet but throw the money away as it was worthless.

I also read that Lindberghs application to join the US Army Air Force was refused by Roosevelt due to his previous comments on the war and the USA's place in it.

No wonder he became a racing driver with all that talent watching him in a toy car.

 

[matthew77]

Great photos there. I like the 1 of James Hunt with only 1 tyre on the tarmac, great way to save fuel and tyre wear.

 

[matthew77]

Can you imagine the uproar if Lewis Hamilton was seen smoking a *** and swigging a bottle of whisky? Everyone would criticise him for enjoying himself.

 

[matthew77]

Now that's a great looking engine on the Eagle.

 

[matthew77]

Wonder if Graham is jealous of Damon's Lotus.

 

[matthew77]

How many people are pushing that BRM? I counted 7. I bet they wish Sommer got out and helped.

Mind that tie by the rear wheel.

 

[matthew77]

I bet the V16 sounds incredible roaring around a track. It would get my attention.

 

[matthew77]

I heard the Edsel is now considered a classic despite all the comments made about its grill.

 

[matthew77]

Tobacco is a personal choice whereas most of Europe had no choice regarding Nazi Germany.

I would go with historical accuracy on the Auto Union but also have a model Wellington bomber flying/hanging from the ceiling over your track when you run it.

Is the Luigi Chinetta car the 166MM that Ninco made? I have that race no.22 car.

 

[matthew77]

Interesting pictures Trisha, I never knew JWA were based in the UK.

 

[matthew77]

Nice pictures from the various F1 races Keith, good to see F1 cars that have different body designs from their competitors. I can't tell a Haas from a Williams in current F1 unless look closely at the livery of the car.

I like the idea of the bunker hotel, a good use of the building and handy for the market.

 

[matthew77]

I wonder how many of the drivers visited the advertised shop behind the Lotus.

 

[matthew77]

Nice to see the Alfa from when Enzo was their team manager, I always liked the Bimotore Alfa at Donnington, a great looking car.

 

[matthew77]

I remember reading that Nuvolari was Enzo Ferrari's favourite ever driver (that's why I named a cat after him many years ago).

 

[matthew77]

Another car Hill raced with a plastic pipe leading to the cockpit. Did anyone else race with that pipework?

Interesting to see Graham working on the engine, superb.

 

[matthew77]

He's the smartest tractor driver I've seen.

 

[matthew77]

It would certainly make for an entertaining and exciting race, could use any field or muddy track for a race way and get the Parson and the Brig to Marshall.

 

[matthew77]

I like the idea of the duck sandwich, just leave out the chutney.
