Mr Rick - is that the one and only Rickmister ?

If it is, how you doin dude, got to be a God on CA, dude, you need to get away from your PC more  Grin

If you are the dude I know, and you know me - The Planman - Team Crapaud from Jersey - Fair play dude, trust you are well ?  All plans for this year are in place and lookin forward to seeing you for a beer or 20, may be even a dangle in the Fathers pool?

Keep the faith

The Planman

PS  However, if you are not THE Rick, this will mean nothing to you, just pass it by Dude - I mean no harm - like I say, OJ isn't freash without a very badly behaved Vodka in it  Grin

Hey Planman, 'tis is indeed the Rickmeister rehashed. Mr. Rick is the name given to me buy a gorgeous (19 year old!!!) female friend of mine who happens to be a future Women's World Champion in Cyclo-cross, so have adopted it for my title worldwide.

Looking forward to reliving times in the Fathers' pool in MB 2005. You were sorely missed in 2004!  Grin

Hey Phil! How the devil are you old fruit? Sebring '05 would indeed be a splendid idea, spesh with the DBR9s etc....

Sadly very unlikely. Trips to Germany @ end of Jan (World Cyclo-cross champs) and Madrid in September (final stages of the Vuelta) as well as Lemons of course have fully booked my "honey-do bloketime" vouchers for '05 already!

And talking of Madrid .. off there tomorrow for a sprog free weekend .. woooohhoooooo!!

Brands Hatch was anti clockwise.....

How long ago was that?  It's been clockwise since I first started going there for the old BOAC 500 40 years ago!

DB
I was at the BOAC in'68 the year that Ford were entering two 3ltr prototypes but could only get one ready, so Jim Clark went to Hockenhiem instead and the rest is history. The circuit went so quiet when the accident was annouced, I can still remember my feelings now.

You need time travel for this, and a bobble hat

Brands was tarmaced in 1950 and anticlockwise being reversed just for bikes in 1952 as paddock was thought too dangerous. All races were clockwise from 1954. Druids was added in 1953, and the GP circuit in 1960.

I think there may have been some bike races run anticlockwise about 1970 as part of a UK/US chalenge series.

We started as the Kent Courage Light Ale Owners Club.

Strangely most Le Mans cars, even Porsches etc, were right hand drive, probably for better vision of apexes, and weight distribution
