Gruffnut in a competition

[ARAF]

I know it's a Ford, but Gruffy seems to have got himself into a competition for Goodwood revival.

How many here can bring themselves to voting for a Ford. 007 won't, as there's also a bl00dy nice Aston in the running.

He gets my vote as always liked the Mach 1's.

As much as I love my 8 I'd swap it for a Mach 1 fastback anytime. Loved them ever since James Bond

I remember watching that in the cinema when new but still can't figure out how the Mach 1 enters the narrow alley on it's right-hand wheels and exits on the left-hand?

In the sixties, my next door neighbour was a mechanic/engineer at Lex Garages in London's West End when they were the Aston Martin Dealer. He had told me he was working on the Goldfinger DB5, which he told me (if I remember correctly) there were 2 of. He said the back seat was taken up with the oil tank for squirting out of the tail-lights and other equipment. The extending wheel-hub spinners/tyre shredders weren't real but a studio special effect.

The Queen made a visit there and Lex presented the visiting young boy Prince Charles with an electric ride-in toy DB5 copy. That was when I first heard of the joke that the Royal Family think everywhere smells of fresh paint.

Car

[SteveMJ]

voted - for yours

[GruFFnuTT]

Aww cheers guys!

I just emailed in a photo of the car for their competition on the off chance. I couldn't quite believe it when I was contacted by the event organisers and told that Sir Stirling Moss had picked my old yank as one of his favourites... It's hardly a concours original classic... Crazy!!!

The car will be on display 'somewhere' on the Saturday with the other Saturday Short-listers...
It will certainly make my Birthday outing a little more special.

Just one thing...


...I hope the car will be ready in time, as it's currently away having some 'stuff' done to it!!!

P.S. Still miss my Monaro!!!

[IXLR8]

[Tattooboy]

Done


I thought you had to vote on the day

Thats another vote from me. Will try and press gang a few others in the office to do the same.

[StefanVXR8]

I voted for the Morris Truck as it has the closest power output to Gruffy's.......................


Ah, hang on, I think I didn't read what the competition was for..............
