clap for Kermit Power.


Why thank you sir! Watching the Railton tearing down Dunsfold runway in August just sent shivers down my spine.



Kermit power has impeccable taste and I too am true, true fan of the Brooklands years and all that it stands for. A time when cars were cars, men were men etc etc......

Anyhoo, my choice would be either

'Remus' ERA at Goodwood - pre selector gearbox and throttle adjustability to die for.


Shortnose D Type at the 'ring - would give me the longest lap of a proper circuit in a car that one day I will own.

For me they'd have to close the M25 and give me a Vehron.

Good choice, great time for F 1. Used to have a Mansell replica helmet.

the 'Ring in either Ferrari 312T2 or Martini Porsche 935
but I wouldn't fit as I'm to long and fat, so maybe I would
go in a Porsche 928GTS instead

Great thread. I'd take this round the ring but only because you'd get a longer lap, otherwise Laguna Seca looks fun.

circuit would have to be the targa florio

weapon of choice : porsche 908/3

alternatively i would settle for a lap of the 1970's format le mans in
a 917 long tail

Can't argue with that! Though as the Porsche's crumple zone is otherwise known as the driver's legs, I might go for a Chaparral 2F instead.
