We also found that the 89 cars have an auxilary spring on the throttle return, mounted on a rather nifty ali post. No idea why...

However, I only know the Blue Nun as 'Brian' which may or may not be his real name of course.

After some painstaking pc horror, i've managed to get a fairly poor quality (only 7mb though) movie of a lap of castle combe with john miles.
I will play around more and get a better quality file up there soon, as well as some clips filmed from the last corner and thru the esses. Hopefully in the next few hours.
here's the first file (you will need the divx codec to view it) :
play file from :
http://www.carmovies.net/gallery/alb...miles_divx.avi
or save file from :

Something funny about this file - I get the sound (which is great!) but no picture

Phil - have you got the DivX codec for Mac? Try the divx website http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
I get the picture fine, but I'm in the office pretending to work so I can't turn the sound up!
