I love the first pic, the boots, the shorts, the shirts and the hats, and a laptop running MoTeC fully programmable ECU tuning software in the same photo...

HELL YEAH~!

That shit TOTALLY floats my boat - and yes, I was brought up on a farm. Razz

I gots'ta get me to on of them there traktorr pullz reeel soon-like. I can't get enough of the "it works, why would you want to change/tidy/clean it?" engineering attitude ! ! !

[Hijack:]

If I could be anywhere, anytime, I'd be an F1 engineer in the late 60's / 70's. SO MUCH making a car design up off the top of people's heads, then banging one up in 5-6 weeks. Then racing it after one or two shakedown/test sessions. GOLD!

As an example, March Engineering started in November 1969 with plans to run two cars for itself. At the start of December they had a shed and a telephone, as well as an extra order - to build a car for Ken Tyrrell (to be driven by one Jackie Stewart). . . EEEK!

9 weeks later they had cars up and running around silverstone in front of the press, and at the first GP at the start of the season they produced 5 cars on the grid, One on POLE, another beside it on the front row of the grid!

This was their FIRST EVER GP ! !

Nice Oil-Can placement eh?

Yup, that grey tubing running beside the cockpit IS the coolant line to the radiator!

Of course, it's a different story nowadays - How many Races have B.A.R. won, after saying they'd win races & get poles in their 1st year? ? ? ? Rolling Eyes

Perhaps McLaren might win a bit more often, if they spent less effort impressing sponsers, and actually got-on with the task of building quick race cars . . . . .

p.s. - Cut Downforce on current GP cars by 70% and bring back HUGE slicks. Who's with me?!?!
