Is that 2 shillings, for the programme ? Seems expensive, for 1953, wonder what was the entrance fee was . We think motorsport dear now.

Beautiful. I keep looking for models like that. This is one of mine, a Tamiya model, with the correct colour paint, and decals.

Remember this car being brought round the Leyland Trucks factory. Started my obsession with F1.

I like this idea. My question would be, how fast was the Sauropods breathing, to expel the used air out of their lungs from a such a long neck, and do swans use the same technique.

What's happened to Dr Dave's face. Looks more like the baddie from Thunderbirds, the Hood. ?

An anorak question. What did the use to time the cars then, to be so accurate to 1.89 seconds.

People wouldn't leave a piece of art worth ยฃ20000/30000 in a car parking space, yet think nothing of jamming a car into a space only just big enough without opening the doors.

I wonder what the aerodynamic map of the car would read.

The first GP, and Michelin are already advertising their tyres. Marketing hasn't changed much.

Yes the field that the Whooper swans were in. There's a strip that had flooded with has been left uncut. There was also 6 Curlews in the same field.

I was listening to Paul McCartney being interviewed about the lyrics to a song he'd written in th mid sixties. He said a academic had told him the lyrics reminded him of a change in society,from most people's needs, to people's wants. That trend has continued to grow. Not for the better.

The 1995 Japanese GP, is my best memorie of Alesi. Jump start, drive through penalty, stop for dry tyres on a wet track, 360ยฐ spin on the wet grass, pass everyone up to second place, and then his engine blows up.

For geology try Dr Katie Strang. She's on blue sky. As Paleokatie. If she can't help she might know someone who will.

Lucky find. A few year ago I used to quite a few good motorsport books in charity shops. Now not so many.

This podcast was absolutely fantastic. So much so I bought the book ( I don't like spending money).Opened up a new understanding of geology.

@thebishf1.bsky.social Just watched the final race at Oulton Park, for GB4 cars. With names like Magnussen and Coulthard on the grid. A 16 minute race of drama and excitement. It's on YouTube .

@thebishf1.bsky.social Just listened to you and Richard Williams podcast on EJ. Loved it loved it, loved it. Although I don't know EJ personality, I think he would have loved it. I like stories about Eddie and Ron, the odd couple if every there was one. Thanks.
