@broadyflat4 @NGAutoArt @specutainment @MazdaMX5Cup @ArjunaKankipati @BriSCAFormula1 Gus is gorgeous. Glad to hear he's making himself at home

@specutainment @radiolemans @BriSCAFormula1 I was also unaware that cars are built by drivers,not bought in generally.

Thank you both for a great, very educational interview.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@specutainment @radiolemans I learned a huge amount about @BriSCAFormula1 racing from your interview with Kyle. Didn't know Chevrolet were so dominant,that capacity was unlimited, that gearboxes are 2 forward and 1 reverse, that different chassis are used for different surfaces.

@specutainment @Orange_Grove1 @MazdaMX5Cup @ArjunaKankipati @BriSCAFormula1 @SilverstoneUK @AIAPortimao You could race a few of these from my childhood. These are Duplex 575 model yachts, 575mm hull length, quick to build,cheap and didn't need an expensive winch.

Good memories are surprisingly tricky to sail well.

@specutainment @MazdaMX5Cup @ArjunaKankipati @BriSCAFormula1 Good evening John & #MWM team, looking forward to joining you all live.

It will be interesting to hear about the World of F1 Stock Car's, I remember watching that on ITV 'World of Sport' when I was younger, be fascinating to hear how it's evolved from a drivers perspective

@MuseumCommodore Night Driver on Atari VCS with paddle controllers

Pole Position on C64 was magnificent, had a cartridge copy and it was one of my most played games with Pitstop II a close second.

@Claudia02741270 @hjwakerley The biggest issue is that several jobs require engine to be dropped out of bay, and that needs a heavy duty lift due to engine weight, it's time consuming hence costly

There's also an armada of computers running things and replacements for those are getting difficult to source.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@Claudia02741270 @hjwakerley The V10 is hilarious, such a great car to drive, but maintenance is costly as they really shoehorned the V10 into the Touareg's engine bay.

I've driven 60k miles in one and loved it.

It's still the benchmark SUV in terms of power, ease and stability for me.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@ISedman Even as an EV owner, this is funny.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@specutainment @Porsche That rear is very 935'ish. Put a big wing on that and it would be a double for that 935 anniversary car they released a few years ago.

The front end reminds me of the GT1 Porsche, and a flat-8 engine, that's amazing, I really hope this comes to fruition in a production car.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@radiolemans @specutainment @rcracing Yes, that has rather dated that movie, but I was watching an episode of 'Frasier' where they'd put in telephone points so people could get online.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@specutainment @radiolemans The reboot of @rcracing during txt was very funny, brought back memories of internet access via 28.8k dial up modem 30 years ago.

@specutainment @radiolemans The FCY's at PLM were simply a result of the cars being so closely matched, that track being so fast, and the second you went off track the kerbs and grass were like hitting ice. That many cars, that closely matched it was just a fact of life.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@kpcom @specutainment So sorry to hear that Kevin. Had experience looking after my 88 yr old Grandfather, it's very hard.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@kpcom @specutainment @MackayPodcast @rcracing Hope everything is OK Kevin? You know I'm always here if you need to bounce anything off via DM.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@specutainment @IMSARadio That comment 'Ideas are eady, execution is underrated', you've no idea how many people I've worked for should hear that.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@specutainment You and the @IMSARadio team always do such a great job bringing great guests to the booth, but technical insights from engineers like Mr Mesina I enjoy so much. I always learn details from folks like him, and he explains it in a manner even I can understand.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@micky_h76 @specutainment @MackayPodcast @rcracing @FordRacing Very good thank you, sad the IMSA season is over but have a couple of last WEC races to catch up on, but amazing how fast the season comes around.

[Dave Allcock @Jazzed_on_Java]

@Kriss @specutainment @2012ARA1 @radiolemans All great now thanks. I bet that Bicester Scramble was superb. Fully understand the early night. It's well worth a watch, the @IMSARadio team were superb throughout.
