Motorsport history guy. Tales told, words written. Often found blethering about racing cars & drivers, ancient & modern... or guitars.

Ever thought that should work together - that we could achieve something meaningful - create some cool stuff? Well, the window may be closing.

Very cool. Though I think Bruce & Ron would have insisted that it was running cleanly... and either could have sorted it themselves.

@RaceDayReplay £136 with a cabin bag, and you maybe end up having to stay another night somewhere... and maybe on the way back.

Having juggled flights, cars and accommodation for a few days, I've concluded that I won't be heading to England next month. FOS offers kindly declined, and RAC Concours ticket cancelled 😞
The cost of getting from NI to GB is stupid... I'll book a holiday in the sun instead.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

@RaceDayReplay The Aer Lingus flight to Birmingham is a very good service, if you book months out.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

@RaceDayReplay The routes are very busy too. It stinks.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

@SparkyLotus Yup, I agree - it's no worse than anywhere on that coast. I really like the place.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

@SparkyLotus 100% !
People are skeptical when I say I can have a great week on the riviera and three days at Monaco Historique for less than a weekend at Goodwood.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

@JorginaDona Haha! I've been playing for nearly 40 years, though I don't play much now.
Motorsport has always been a hobby, music and the musical instrument trade paid the bills for a long time.

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

Backing up files and clearing down the memory cards. Have some random guitar!
I think I was playing about with mic placement.

That's very nice. I would, if I could.

Happy humpday... foot down to the weekend!
Goodwood is always a good idea - see you at Festival of Speed?

@EightMike You're a movie star, Michel! Do I owe you a fee? 🤣

[Colin Johnston @CJGrandPrix]

I don't mind admitting that I'm jealous of those at work, setting up today in Monaco. The morning commuter train from Menton suits me just fine.
Good luck and have fun everyone - there is no finer, crazier, or more fevered place for a grand prix motor race.

@SparkyLotus Yey!!

I'm backing-up videos, and... I mean... just epic.

I've just got my ticket to the @RoyalAutomobile Concours, next month. I hope to see some of you there.
If I don't catch you at Woodcote Park then lets catch up elsewhere. I will be over in England from Tuesday 7th July, right through the weekend.
