Derwent is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
Sadly it seems fame on such "wholesome" programmes does seem to affect the relationships of the families involved. Think Drew Pritchard on Salvage Hunters, Amanda own on Yorkshire Farm and Ant Anstead on Wheelers Dealers etc.

I already met him last week in my village...

He gave me a nice bag of goodies for Christmas, including bottles of wine!

Any thoughts as to the name of next year's General Demented Ramblings thread?

With only 1500 posts in '23 we need to up the content level. Poor show from us all.

Funny - I thought of that only last night.

For Delta it should be 'On the road again...'

I was also musing about that too and must say Max, I like your suggestion.
As for the reduction in the posting numbers, I'll just lift a glass and raise a toast to "Absent Friends".

Christmas has come early!
Welcome back (albeit maybe temporary). Maybe time for me to find a blurry & out of focus picture to post...

Crikey.... what a pleasant surprise to hear from our dear friend Bauble. Particularly at this time of year when I thought he would be busy hanging around sparkling and looking pretty on people's Christmas trees.

Indeed Bob, good to see you back in the HRT parish, however briefly it might be for, and very best Christmas wishes and a Healthy Happy 2024 to both you and Judy. Hopefully see you back here more frequently next year.

Take care!
Chris

Merry Christmas to everybody .



Been watching FERRARI , it is due for general release on Boxing day I think .
Not very impressed , a few seconds of prewar racing , then on from 1957 . About 20 minutes before you see a race car .
Does seem to be a Hollywood type soap opera so far . Will carry on sometime and hope it gets better . It is over 2 hours long .

Apart from pros and public ratings which are, I find, sometimes subject to discussion, I go to amazon and try to find a link between the suggested prices and what can be expected for a said good. CDs: Ferrari 19 €, Lamborghini 9,99 €. Phew. Does this mean that the last one is two times worse than the first? Or vice versa…

It is possible that Lamborghini has been out for over a year and the CD price has gone down in that time . But Ferrari is not on public release until a few days time , so they want top money for it now .

Merry Christmas to my new tenth friends all met through delta over the last 2 years of racing. Its been an absolute privilege to go over and do some historic racing in the UK and Europe. Thanks to delta. Without him and fortuitous meeting at Phillip Island several years ago I would not have been able to do it.

its all getting even closer to Christmas for us 'downunder,' so best I get my own personal wishes to all of you here in the Historic Racing area, mates, friends etc both current and absent..... I have met very few of you but feel like I know you all.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a a Safe, Healthy Peaceful and Happy New Year. Oh and with a bit of Prosper as well would be good.

Look forward to more banter and chat on the other side, and Dr Bob I will see you at Phillip Island for the Classic in March.

Stay Safe all.

Cheers
Chris.
