The birdcage was Tipo 61...a cool car with a space frame made out of millions of matchsticks...

Its also a maserati alloy wheel like this :

Isn't that a Neptune alloy?

 

[BennyD]

Whatever it is, it's pretty bloody ugly. A bit like MAF.

Thats a bit harsh. I'm sure maf Isn't as rough around the edges as that wheel but the noise his car makes may need kerbing from time to time.

 

[phills1]

Possibly up for joining, weather and work been in the country depending!

You're so ugly, you have to sneak up on your mirror.

The flying banana will not be quietened!

Normal pleasant forum banter has resumed within just a few hours of exile of the feather related one.

Hmph, it looks like I'm going to struggle to get to Ace that night after all. Assuming BA could be on time (Ahem!), landing back from Marseilles at ~5pm, get back to Oxford, swap car and then to Ace is looking rather tight. It's a shame - I was rather looking forward to meeting some of you (I say "some" advisedly, having read the odd discussion!).

 

[dem maser]

That's a shame Stevie....there will be another one around April time but ut would have been good to see you

Which airport are you flying into? If it's Heathrow just take the Mas to the airport and drive straight to the Ace from there - it's the right side of town!

 

[dem maser]

Heathrow to Ace is 25 mins.......

 

[drewf]

Heathrow to Ace is 25 mins.......

Or 2.5 hours...

 

[drewf]

No way is it 25 mins Dem, if he lands at 5pm.

 

[dem maser]

traffic pending....I make Heathrow from N10 in 50 mins

 

[drewf]

Fair enough - I make it to Heathrow from 122 miles away in 105 minutes to be in my office by 7am, but that's not the same as leaving Heathrow at 5pm to get to the Ace. I'd be amazed if it took less than an hour.

 

[MAF260]

Heathrow to Ace is 25 mins.......

By plane/helicopter??!! It's about 20 miles of M25, A40 and the North Circular. Maybe at 5am, definitely not at 5pm!!

 

[dem maser]

No M25 needed Mark...A40 and A406....yes at 5pm I get its a little optimistic but usually about 25 mins

 

[drewf]

A40 and A406? Worst possible route at that time, Dem. You're suggesting a world of hate for MrPea. It's 25 minutes on a completely empty road.
