Hey cool guys, and cooler gals (you know who you are), just bought this very morning a new race car for me to race. It's an historic Formula Ford 1600 Lola T 340 (1973 HU340/28).

Picking her up next weekend, and might, just might get it on track at the last race for the season the following weekend....otherwise will be lots of weekends with the wax and polish in hand making it sparkle :P

Here's some pic-a-tures:

[attachment=2580:lola t340 top.jpg]

Some race weekends, will be racing same class as pop's in his '65 Cooper, others there will be enough cars in each division to split the FFords from the FJuniors.

:D

Congrats! Nice car... er... the admission air intake seems like Nessie rising over the waters... so paint in a dark colour and we call it "Nessie"

That's a good idea.

I can imagine how fun it must be to drive a car like that.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

"I get the feeling that Alonso fans tend to heap over-praise on Alonso and bring down Kimi whenever they can, with mere theories and unjustified statements."
I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

Couldn't have put it better myself. I'm living my (realistic level of) competitive motor racing dreams through you handy. Make me proud!
