Dan,

We can arrange that. Come to the NS when the weather is (a lot) better.

Flemke,

Can I be so forward as to enquire about a pax lap as well?

I'll be at the Ring almost every weekend this year

The last thing on that video is them "testing" it with no silencers. Why's that?

Thanks! I hope to take you up on that. I hope your generous offer hasn't opened the floodgates though!

No probs, and entries are now closed.

NAS, if you're going to be there that often, why don't you just come up to me sometime? After you see the car, look for an idiot who can't drive -that will be me. I'll recognise you from your member's picture.

Dan, do you have a phone # or e-mail address where I could reach you? If not, we'll have to go to plan B, which I haven't figured out yet.

If you click on my name next any of my posts, then you will get my profile up which has an 'email me' option.

I must confess that I'm not entirely certain I can make it out to the ring this year, so this may not get off the ground, but I certainly appreciate the offer.

We've met before in the PK

But I'll be sure to come up to you this year. I'll be there most VLN races as well. Moving to Duesseldorf gives me that opportunity

You rolled a car at Brunnchen?

Only one of many "stunts" that has earned him his reputation. Although I think it's the worst, or at least the worst I've heard about.

In that case, I think that we may have to put Niek in the special 14-point harnesses. In the boot.

Are you sure you don't have a V10 hidden back there in the boot - where's he gonna sit?


Technical question ... what is the correct term for luggage space when it's at the front? (and no resorting to American car terminology to describe a satisfactory answer)

Dear Joseph,

You didn't ask me, but that has never before kept me from piping up.

Surely the engine compartment is the compartment in which resides the engine, irrespective of where within the chassis that may be.
The engine compartment and the boot are different things.

"boot" - the luggage compartment of a motor car, usu. at the rear.
Oxford English Reference Dictionary

(Please note that it does not say "only at the rear".)

The boot cannot be where the engine compartment is. If the latter is in the back, the former is somewhere else.

As always,

Joe911

Despite your undeniably correct application of the lingo, I'd still maintain that common (I awlays have been) usage makes a boot at the front and a bonnet at the rear (or even a boot at the side in the F1) awkward.

And I'd challenge you (trying desperately to get back on subject) to get pukka "luggage" in any of the CGT's compartments Did you ever find a suitable place for the first aid kit?

You yourself common? Common? You, sir are a man of rare distinction and gravitas (maybe not when you're sideways, but you are most of the rest of the time).

IIRC, I put the FAK in this little stowage compartment at the side of the engine compartment, er, the boot with the engine in it.

As regards the stowage compartments at the side of the F1, where else would you expect me to carry my boots?

I thought we'd just coil him into the fetal position and tighten down the belts.

So what is the definition of the 'trunk'? Does the elephant want it back?
