Beer o’clock . This time it’s Hobgoblin IPA

Nice ale, doesn't taste like a 5% beer though.

5.3% according to label and you’re right

I’ve had a glass of alcohol free Sauvignon this evening.

Alcohol-free wine makes as much sense as genital-free sex. (I may or may not be entirely serious.)

Quite a few teams played around with the concept including Williams and March, although the P34 was the only one that was actually raced back in the day. If I remember rightly, the six-wheelers were banned because the turning arc was different to that of a 4-wheeled car. Mind, by then the performance gain from reducing the head on profile of the car had already been superseded by that of the skirted "ground effect" cars.

You do see the non-Tyrrell 6 wheelers on the historic racing circuit though. As well as various P34s.

Seen the Williams six wheeler and the March, at a car dealers in Limerick, Ireland.

It seems like as good a time as any for a Burning Sky pint.

My son spent a few hours MTB'ing round Clayton Vale with two friends. Looks like he stacked it taking the 'shortcut' down part of the black run, and he says he needs a better bike - no, you need to ride your bike more, blaming the rather large bruise on his undercarriage on a lack of a dropper post. Bear in mind he hasn't done any proper off road for a few years - thinks he can pick it up just like that ?

Anyway, they had fun.

Just checked the weather report: they say that tonight we'll have golfball sized hailstones, gusts of wind, rain, more rain and even bigger hailstones.

So I brought the bike into the living room.

Priorities...

Well, I'm sat here with a and a crisp sandwich and watching / listening to the Le Mans 24 Hours Virtuel.

Long way to go to watch something isn't it!

I have just watched the most boring film ever made.

In slightly less mundane news, I have a possible commission in the offing to paint a Tyrrell P34

70s F1 isn't a big "thing" with me, so I don't have that many useable images to hand of the car. Much of what I have is either too early or too late. I will have to avail myself of Mr Google to look for photos I can use.

I can do a few pics from when they were in the Masters F1 series recently by Roger Wills

Or Mauro Pane

(other pics are available - what do you need?)
