The anti virus preppers are showing themselves on the virus thread.

I ran out of bread and almost broke into a steady stroll on the way to Asda.

I really stocked up ,the bill only came to over £20 as I bought a pair of shoes ,for running away from the Zombie apocalypse.

I was surprised not to see any couples with 2 trolleys between them ,stuffed full of bread milk eggs and Ginsters pasties

oh and Fray Bentos pies and beans.

Do you know when Vipers last raced there ?

Indeed, we need to get a capital T on turkey at the earliest opportunity otherwise we'll have the bloody RSPB round the hangar again grumpy

The correct use of capital letters is imperative at times, thus:

"I helped my uncle Jack off a horse"

"I helped my uncle jack off a horse"

Makes all the difference.

Yes it has been while since the Viper stopped racing, Ben Keating and Viper Exchange were the last ones to run the Gen V GTS-R with Bill Riley

I've no interest in Porsche Audi Toyota, Peugeot or many of the other cars.

The golden days have gone for me frown

I think I will be doing the classics from now on.

Wikipedia says 2013 was the final Viper entry at LM24.

It says that Vipers were withdrawn from LM for 2014 but is just a bit incomplete then as your link shows them racing in 2015...smile

You should login to Wiki to correct it.

Hi folks! I'm back!

Did anyone remember to smoke me a kipper?



No?

Disappointing. frown
It's been a helluva long hard day.

But ultimately successful.
I think we are through the woods and on the right path at long last.
Where will it lead us?

Nobody knows. Least of all me.
But we'll carry on reward less until we get there.

A quick snifter then bed, I think.
Another long day tomorrow.

With added snow A great help. rolleyes

I've posted a thread of car pics in General motorsport forum if you fancy a look.

Should have done it months ago.



like this.

Whilst I was reading the wiki on Vipers I spotted that this has some viper DNA.



An Alfa TZ3 Zagato ,of which 9 built apparently ,seen at last year's Mille Miglia.

Yes ,I had no idea of the existence of that yellow thing ,until I saw one .

Caused quite a fuss as it snaked it's way around Brescia looking for it's spot to park with other Zagato products.

There was a Porsche Carrera GTZ there too but the Zagato styling changes were so subtle I didn't know it

was any different to how Porsche intended.
