must be the Yen price ! (at 150 Yen to the pound that works out at about £23 ! )

- an interesting feature. I remember her back in the day - it must have been very difficult for her in what, at that time, was a very chauvinistic male-dominated sport. (still is - come to think of...

These occasionally fly over our house in summer - and on hearing that sound , "it's a Spitfire" and we all rush out onto the deck to see it fly over - I agree - it's always impressive !

And agree...

Andy - no I havent - but I'll check it out Thanks P

Gordon Murray's latest - [Video] Hear the GMA T.50’s screaming V12 at 12,100rpm | GRR (goodwood.com)

You'll probably have to use a black nylon block as a spacer to get the catch angled correctly so the curve can stay - as Paul (Fingers) has indicated.

Back in the day wasnt it the Alpine Renaults that had a butterfly valve system that diverted the exhaust through the silencer for when they passed through towns and villages in the middle of the...

Well it's not the Club calendar - so which calendar is it ?

Thanks - Gordon - a neat and simple solution - and Guy - the self locking strut is a good idea and without the complication of assessing spring strengths , lengths , fixings etc. I'll re-think this...

I was shocked when I heard the news - very sorry to hear this - she was a great driver.

Thanks guys - amusing but not much help !

Guy - I understand your comment but wonder if their might be a stress(crack) free solution ?

To save re-inventing the wheel has anyone installed a spring loaded strut for the bootlid?

Failing this I'll have to test my engineering skills to the limit by trying to work out which spring...

It's alright Chris - I dont think anyone was expecting you to move it forward. I suspect this is as far as it goes as no-one - I'm assuming - will want to stump up the £600 or whatever, to buy a batch

Looks a bit like some creative photo-shopping to me - with shadows in all directions. However if the badge is a reasonable representation of what can be achieved looks quite good - but as Norm says...

In principle I'd be happy for the club to buy a batch but would be guided by the Committee decision. My resin efforts were based around one of the plastic badge versions - but a metal version would...

Yes agree - interesting project but he can talk the hind leg off a donkey. I was wondering why he is building the body in steel (and thought at first he was building a buck to take fibre glass...

- another great episode - I love the precision and the excellent fabrication work. Will you be enhancing / modifying the roof wing to direct the airflow ?

Didnt hear of Hannu Mikkola's passing - very sad . He was the absolute best back in the day .

What a great thread this has turned out to be - some really interesting cars and stories . Let's see some more !

Volksrod Beach Buggy

Marcos 1600GT (with twin cam engine)

now an LB Stratos STR Stradale

- sorry cant find pics of the first 2 and quality not good anyway.

Jim - BTW your photos of the...

Totally impractical - but what a stunning looking car ! The detailing was pretty neat too - but for $10k you'd expect it to be !

- presumably a potted history of the Lancia Stratos ?

Kinell - that's a lot of dusting !

Superb models ! - you must have quite a collection now ?

- so it's not us owners/builders who need to be afraid - it's the likes of Hawk and LB !! The risk to the replica industry remains - if other manufacturers such as Fiat and Ford wish to follow the...
