John, family Christmas tradition is home made Pork Pies not pasties. I would have included a picture to show you how good they look but 1. They've all been eaten. & 2. Now that Baub's back on the scene I don't want to give him any easy targets for criticism!
We leave for home tomorrow so I'll wish you al a Happy 2024 and look forward to the banter continuing (whatever next years new thread is called).

I think that to try to join the latest trends, we could call the 2024 thread "T time bants" no matter how awful that that is.

And a Very Happy New Year to you also.

Bauble is presumably not up yet!

I'm looking forward to discovering what next year's thread is called but I'm not sure who will set it up since everyone moans about the choice anyway......

Thanks Viv.... I now have a craving for Pork Pies, something I rarely see in Supermarkets here, and when I have found them in the past they were very average.... my local delicatessen that used to sell them and they were reasonable, but they changed hands and the Pork Pies disappeared.

I have spent the last 10 minutes googling and have found a reasonably local market that claims they sell home made traditional ones so guess where I am of to in the morning.

As for tonights craving I will have to settle for a bacon sandwich.

Safe journey home Viv and wish you all the best for a safe happy healthy and hopefully prosperous 2024.

What about “rendezvous 2024”. Someone clever on here can put up that film of the Ferrari racing through Paris .Just thinking ?

Leclerc did that at Monaco a few years ago

May I respectfully point out to those non-domiciled posters that 1st January is the start of the New Year, December 31st is still 2023.

Just saying.

Gerard C · 29 Dec 2023, 13:01 (Ref:4190157)

Iain is right, the sound comes from a Ferrari (Claude Lelouch words) when the caméra was bolted to a 450SEL 6,9 Merc (watta car!) front bumper. A weapon of choice in this matter with its soft and efficient hydro-pneumatic suspension. A smart panty recently posted the film in another part of the forum.

@E.B don't you feel it sounds like a 911?

Thank you Bob, good info. As a reminder, it's always Middle Age down here… So its either Easter or nivôse also called clay-day (not related to Regazzoni).

Ah but being the advance party so to speak, whilst you in Blighty are enjoying your final dinner of 2023 we will have likely already had our first breakfast of 2024! I daresay it will have been a "Full English" breakfast too.

Just saying.

I shall be attempting to cook a 'Full English' for three on Sunday, some friends having successfully smuggled the ingredients in from England!

And yes, I also have the Claude Lelouche DVD of the drive through Paris - it is a fascinating bit of viewing. Just don't have anything to play it on at the moment...

I thought it was the rear bumper, except for the parking scene. They reversed the film and speeded it up. There was a film of a train from London to Brighton where they did something similar. Filmed from the rear of the train, then reversed it for publication.

I dont think it could be reversed as the pigeons flying up must be from in front of the car .

Might work from this link

**Peter Mallett** · 29 Dec 2023, 14:04 (Ref:4190165)

Fair enough, I saw it a long time ago.

Thanks for that - briliant! Just watched it twice.

S griffin · 29 Dec 2023, 14:26 (Ref:4190168)

The movie still looks awesome to this day. And the editing of the tyre squeals and Ferrari engine were done very much in synch with the pictures

I did see back then , but did not know if it was still about , but managed to find it . And your link does explain a lot about it .

Yep,and the crushed moskitoes should be on the mirror of the sideview mirrors and not outside. If you see what I mean…

John, I think its the best you can watch from Lelouche together with the famous 'Stang at Deauville (Un Homme et une femme, aka Shabada bada bada…)).https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtz9hs

Bob bquizz mode on: there's a relation between the actor and a famous F1 driver. A clue? Family name does not begin with a B…

Most of the time....there were a few spots where the engine revs and the apparent road speed seemed out of sync, but overall well done.....

John Elwin · 29 Dec 2023, 15:53 (Ref:4190174)

My CD of 'Rendezvous' is dated 2003 & was available from www.spiritlevelfilm.com. However, the website no longer seems to be active.

I'm sure I have a laminated blown-up copy of it somewhere. I was in the Wimhurst PLP4 which I'm sure a certain Mr. Morgan would know about!
