'Never give up' is the motto.... Funny that of all the trailers the miscreant was discovered in, he picked the one belonging to people you wouldn't want to mess with! |

Mike, some troubles with the B19 it seems? Having a look to the classifications, the rate of dnf is higher than on other circuits. The two long straights may be.

Yes, fuel pressure issues, possibly due to the extreme temperature. Shame as we could have had a good result......
Just loaded up ready to leave circuit- still scorchio at 8pm! |

No wifi to do a lengthy post, but will just say it was a pleasure to be parked next to Swedish tenther Lars-Goran Sjoberg and Mrs Sjoberg for the weekend. Very nice neighbours, and hope the long trip home is / was OK! .
(Apologies for not being able to use the Swedish 'O', can't find it on iPad.....) |

Mike,
Alt+0248 = ø Alt+0216 = Ø assuming that you have Alt on an Ipad. |

Mike I think I've got the name of the team the Italian miscreant messed up with. Are you sure the English driver could race or did he have to "explain" some details to the Carabinieri before in a safe room …

Well, if you know who apprehended the low-life, keep it to yourself please!

I will because your mechanics speak fluently Italian: with hands!

How did you enjoy, Museo Storica Alfa Romeo, Mike? It's somewhere I've long been intending to visit, & was already thinking of the idea of combining it with a trip to Monza next year - two places I've never been & want to visit. I've heard stories in the past about a wonderful book/model shop within the circuit somewhere that was supposed to be worth a visit. No idea if it still exists though. |

There is a model shop inside the circuit, next to the bar / cafe and clothing shops. I looked in but most of the stuff spotted was at 'the lower end' of the market. I didn't get a chance to investigate further. Just walking through the trees and coming upon the old banking is worth a trip to Monza alone, regardless of anything else. Then trying to climb it.... |

I was told about the Monza shop by someone at Team Lotus who was also a serious book & model collector, but that was some years ago so it might well have changed by now! Sounds like you might be a model collector too...? |

Mike, we too found it nice to be parked next to you. No late-night partying and no disturbing snoring, at least not what we could hear (two weeks ago at a race at Karlskoga, we were both woken up by the snores from a camper parked next to ours). Finally got home at 9.40 PM on Tuesday, but lots of nail-bitin for the last 900 kms from northern Germany, since a warning light indicating a defect diesel injection system was on, and we clearly had a significant reduction in engine Power.
As for the pronounciation of the letter "Ö", think of how you pronounce the English indefinite article "a" in its unaccented/unstressed form. That's about the same sound. |

John Elwin - that must have been Mario Acquati's bookstore in one of the track shops. It was one of the best motoring bookstores in the world, but I understand it has had to close now.

However, writing as someone with a mere few words of Italian that I might be able to call on in any way, the Google translation, though presented in clearly English words, was not a clear translation in my opinion. I got the gist of a message ... in fact several gists of what might have been several messages ... but clear understanding seemed to have been avoided by the translation process. If see mean you what I. |
