    I like it

    Farcical

    Going back to my early childhood (early 1950’s) our next door neighbours had a V8 Pilot. Just looked it up on Wiki…3,5Litre, 80 bhp, 0-60 in 21 seconds and 18 mpg. Things have certainly changed. My 1.4 Citroen reaches 60 in half the time and recently on a long run to Wales achieved 67 mpg.

    My eldest son has a 2018 Mustang GT 5Litre. Roars like hell. Many years ago my dad had a 1959 Pontiac Strato Chief.

    I don’t know if anyone would call this a classic car, but if I had the money to buy and run I would love a 1960 Buick LeSabre sedan. For it’s time a beautiful design which in my opinion still looks good today.

    Very good response. I travelled all over the country in the late 60’s to support West Ham. Statistically we were not going to win many matches but I still travelled to Scotland twice iin one year. True supporters stay loyal to their team.

    I am embarrassed to admit, being a massive Speedway fan since 1960, that I never knew at the time that Sunderland had a team, let alone know that former Hammer George Barclay was a team regular. In my defence I stopped attending league speedway following the demise of West Ham, and only attended league meetings between 1964 and 1971 featuring the Hammers.

    My first ever speedway meeting was at Rye House in 1960. I remember standing up against the fence on the first bend and having to duck to avoid getting showered with dirt. Over the course of the season I got used to watching Clive Hitch,Geoff Mudge, the McGillivrays, Tommy Sweetman and others. Rye House fostered my love of speedway and when West Ham reopened in 1964 I transferred my allegiance to Custom House.

    Many thanks for the post.

    I met Len in 1968 when he was reopening Rayleigh. My dad and I were helping get the track and stadium ready for racing to resume after a 5 year absence. We found him very friendly and easy to work with.

    Very clever

    I missed that one. I must have been on holiday.

    Birkirkara football stadium would be a great venue for a Maltese GP. 🤡

    The National Sports Stadium at Crystal Palace would be ideal. Far enough from high density housing, can accommodate 24,000 and has modern facilities. Could a temporary track be laid inside the 400m. athletics track?.

    Sadly the crowds we got at Wembley in the 60’s and 70’s are no longer there. As someone who attended every Wembley WF 1965-1981 I find it very sad. I am not a fan of GP’s, particularly with the current scoring system. Give me a one-off WF every time.
