I remember saying I did not have a spare £100k!

At Goodwood (last year?) I did ask for a ride to the grid in the Daytona and he looked at me as if to say ".... off". It was after Martin has broken the rear view mirror when doing practice driver changes and even though it was only a rear view mirror I think he was miffed!

My last bit of info relates to my son (age 7).... He's stolen my race budget and he will soon be talking to Mr Dennis, see pic

Great to have you on board Mat. I appreciate all you've contributed so far. Little treasures, I call them.

What a great time you must have had.

Seems funny that I had the F1 pics tucked away for over 10 years. I always felt the F1 production area was a special place....

I always liked this shot too

Re: Black LM!!! (is it!!!???)

That is a cool shot - one of the few times I think I have seen an image of a complete engine that was lacking the carbon airbox on top, perhaps the only one.

Those blue body parts likely belong to chassis #048 which was completed in the middle of the run of production LMs. Here's some shots of what we believe to be that car:

Welcome aboard Mat. Seems like we're stumbling on more pics of the black LM.

Thanks for sharing your motorsports background too.
