Well, I hear the "Prince of Wales" in Surrey or the "Bell" in Cheam both pull some great pints and they would taste better after driving through a few tanks of race gas (in the us, race gas is sold separately and not usually at the pumps so forgive this reference if it isn't so in the UK) and new track tires :evillol:

I am 36, and have lived in San Diego for 20 years. Moved here for a short tour in Uncle Sam's yacht club (NAVY). I think you might be referring to the "Silver Fox". It is recognized as one of San Diego's top "dive bars". One of my favorites as well. It is located in Pacific Beach and has been a regular stop. How long did you stay in San Diego?

Answer Q20....The papaya livery survived on the McLaren,s works CanAm sports cars until 1972, on the formula 1 cars until 1971 and on its Indy cars until 1974.

(It might pay a few people hear, to read their "Driving Ambition" books, It might increase their knowledge span on the F1):nutkick:

Merry Xmas everybody and a Happy new year :cheers:


A really big thankyou to "Mr Bridger" for his excellent Quiz. (now somebody mentioned, something about a prize.... :smokin: )

" A ride in a papaya GTR across the Yorkshire moors, perhaps "

Looks like there is, some nice stretches of tarmac up there.

Mr. Bridger, I haven't answered the questions because I haven't read my copy of DA in about 5 years...very obviously! How people on here can read (and retain) hundreds of pages' worth of details is beyond me.

If I remember to get off the computer and go to work every morning, it's a miracle!

Mr Bridger,
I have been looking at the pictures of your car and noticed your steering wheel looks smaller then the standard supplied by Mclaren.
I think the standard one is 330mm dia yours looks about 280mm dia.
Is it a none standard wheel?

Very good quiz, just kept getting beaten to the punch :banghead:

Very good quiz, just kept getting beaten to the punch :banghead:...carbuilder, no i think its actually a 340mm wheel, supposedly requested by piquet (although i dont know how true that is!)...i"ll check its measurement when i get home, thanks, Mr B. ps/ you have to get up early to beat that Le man !! :lol:

Not strictly speaking true. McLaren used unliveried papaya-coloured Formula One cars for testing purposes with Coulthard and Hakkinen on the MP4/1'2 in 1997. This was inbetween them losing Marlboro sponsorship and taking West onboard.

Murray - The same was true this past year as well:

One could argue though that test cars are not race cars. There's always a technicality... :)

small question about 13R with plate M700 BHP.

This orange GTR was spotted last year at a british circuit. dont know which topc, cant find it anymore. sorry for this new post:screwy:

But I'd like to know on which circuit it was and which event was it specifically??

Try here Patrick,

Start at the begining and trawl through.

Donington Park, LMES round

thnx

I might visit one race this year:)

No.........But he would like to :grinyes: Just ask Mr Bridger!!

Hi there,

No the owner does not drive in the LMES series, he is just an avid spectator. He was at Donington in the summer of 2006 in the McLaren and then again in September in his Ferrari Enzo.

Pic of his McLaren

http://www.dunlopix.com/P9244378a.jpg

The F50 by the way belongs to one of his friends and was at Donington on both occasions.

The 2007 LMES race has been moved to the Silverstone circuit and I am not sure if the owner of 16R will be attending or not. The Enzo is now up for sale so hopefully he will be out and about at Donington again this year with his new toy. This should be arriving in March / April time.

He does post on here and will probably be along soon to say hello.

Tim
