Good idea, Peter, re poll. Since you mentioned 'Idling' what about 'Tickover'?

morninggents should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Will all the suggested options be included in the poll?
Should we have a poll on that first?

I think a cull of some of the less "suitable" suggestions may occur before the poll is uploaded.

The whole point of "Idle Chatter" was it included the word "chat" which is so descriptive even the newest of noobs might have half an inkling of what's going on with the thread. It doesn't need a sub-text. :

Finding a good name for this thread is a nice and sympathetic quest and shows the involment of the usual suspects. Will it change the rate visitors/posters, I dunno. Still it keeps us entertained.

May I suggest, while we're waiting for the poll itself and because it seems to be the right time of the year, that we could have a list of ten racing cars we'd love to have in our wonders stable? Santa, we know you're reading…

OK, lets go for twelve and may be some room in a garden shed for prewar stuff. From Max's list I go for F40 and the 935 of course. And to honor my Dad, a Gordini 24S.

I think I would be down to one only.

In the context of this part of the forum -

If you are talking racing car of all time (and still might be in the HRT section) -

Is that a car or an aircraft?

Nobody has mentioned the GT40 but I suppose they are a bit common - far too many of them about...

How about a Ferrari 250LM? Or a 250GT SWB?
