Posted on the F1 thread but realise there may not be so much crossover.
Seb Vettel purchased Nigel Mansell’s ‘Red 5’ FW14B and he gave us a couple of laps at Silverstone yesterday. He wasn’t holding back either.

Also running on E fuel. Seb had it adapted.
Yep, ‘Race without Trace’
Hmmmm….cutting down live plants and burning them instead of burning plants that are already dead seems like a rather unlikely solution.
Don’t forget that the plants reduced CO2 in the atmosphere through photosynthesis while they were growing.
Of course, but even when they did, they were, in this case, almost certainly growing on what used to be either rain forest, or productive agricultural land much needed for food production. Monoculture, soil depletion and collapsed biodiversity invariably are the result. Hardly a price worth paying for a marginal reduction in atmospheric CO2, I would suggest.
I do realise that any step in the right direction is better than nothing, and none of us are guilt free. Nevertheless, bandying around these terms like ‘carbon neutral’ and ‘race without trace’ is factually incorrect. We should all be honest about what harm we are doing and about the true extent of the steps we take to mitigate it.
Until Sunday, the Steve McQueen Le Mans film is on BBC iPlayer. Not big on dialogue, probably only a limited plot, but I’m watching it (again) as a period piece with great photography and sound track.

First and very enjoyable visit to the Epping and Ongar Railway yesterday, which was also hosting a beer festival (see 'What Beer are you Drinking). Good fun.

I’ve no knowledge to share about these, but I’m thinking 1905s (earlier?). I particularly like the split screens. Lovely paint jobs. Seen at the Trolleybus Museum near Scunthorpe a couple of weeks ago.

Probably more like 1950’s than 1905’s ………. ?
Nice photo.
The number plates will give an idea to age. You can’t make a vehicle appear newer, but older is ok. So late 60s for the one on the right? Mid 70s for the left. Assuming they go on the road and the plates indicate age.

Recently had a trip to Edinburgh and visited this national transport treasure. Not a Plane, Train or Automobile but is there any room on this thread for a special Yacht?
HMY Britannia in Leith of course. So many construction sites in the area I couldn’t find anywhere for a full length shot.
The Royal family’s lounge area. Wot? No Naim system?
The Royal Barge, often used as a tender to Britannia.
