Okay. You CAN call me dim!

Of the 'plain' Red F1 pins you have. Is one Metallic Red and the other plain red?

Like this? The back one is more #038 than the front one; that's more #028

That is pretty good!

I've bought another lapel pin, super-cheap this time. It looks like the same badge that is on the corner of my Le Mans Edition of Driving Ambition, but with 2 butterfly clips on it's reverse - never seen one before....

Re: Show us your F1 Memorabilia / F1 related items you've bought

Yes, big thanks to Le Man as he spotted this one first and shot me the link knowing that I was eager to own the original content.

Even the text on the box is cool:

Quote:
When the TAG McLaren directors gave their design team the brief for the proposed new 'supercar' it was straightforward in the extreme. It was to build a car that even the opposition would have to acknowledge as the best!

As you will see from this tape, McLaren Cars Technical Director Gordon Murray and his team succeeded. Perhaps even beyond their own wildest dreams!

Even though the opposition might not care to admit it publicly, by any yardstick the V12 McLaren F1 has to be rated as the best supercar yet to hit the road.

As proof, McLaren can quote, the world record 240.1mph top speed that you experience in this video, thanks to a thrilling on-board camera blast with Le Mans winnner Andy Wallace. No production road car has yet gone faster...and you're on-board at the max!

More evidence needed? How about a win in the Le Mans 24 Hour Race for the GTR version of the F1 in 1995? On its very first attempt at the French sportscar classic, no less!

Any way you care to examine it, the McLaren F1 can legitimately claim to be the ultimate supercar so far, and through this video you can see exactly how it was conceived, designed, built and tested. Much of the footage was actually shot during these processes by the McLaren design team and along the way we hear from McLaren Chief Executive Ron Dennis, designer Gordon Murray, stylist Peter Stevens and test driver Jonathan Palmer.

No other video has taken such an intimate look at the construction of a supercar. The fact that the subject of this one is generally acknowledged to be the best ever built makes this essential viewing for anyone who has ever understood the passion and power of beautiful fast cars.
It still puzzles me why McLaren felt the need to have these pulled from the shelves.

OK, Nice material!

Hope some one could do a GTR Historic on the DVD, explain details different chassis, production lines, race histories, driver interwievs and sort of things from, 95-97 years. I don't mind that it would be 2 DVD pack or something, but really hope some one would do that kind of documentary!

Well....I quess my dream is unpossible.......

Even a book of the different GTRs chassis by chassis in a similar style that Bluemel/Pourret has made of the Ferrari 250 GTOs would a nice effort as now all that info and images are scattered around and also the current books and websites have much errors, so needs lots of cross-checking from various sources to have a continuous timeline for each chassis.

I guess McLaren themselves are not interested in doing such a book for some years now as they are now concentrating more on the MP4-12C. Still I'd hope they would do a 3rd edition of DA and correct many of the mistakes they have still in the 2nd edition, especially on the GTR/racing section. hurstg01 maybe could give us some inside of the Le Mans edition, if it still has the errors of 2nd edition?! E.g. many of the photos (2nd ed.) are from some other race than noted on the text, and not even the same year as noted.

Yep, the book would do well the job. Well, we must hope and keep the hopes alive.
