Paddy, I have one Fearnley in my collection, entitled "Winning Combination". And, surprise, surprise...........it commemorates Clark's historic win at Zandvoort in 1967.

Besides Fearnley himself it is also signed by Keith Duckworth. A lovely piece, and the only one that has not been restricted to the "man cave" by my better 'arf.

Cool how about a photograph, sounds like it would be good for a new post.

Ask, and ye shall receive. Sorry for the odd angle, I was trying to minimize the effects of the flash.

Nice set-up Au Rouge....takes me a long, long way back to my childhood.....just a whole lot nicer and a tad more expensive, I suspect?

Race if you are willing to put some time in, a routed track on
MDF with controllers, variable power supply and timing software
accurate to 1 1/1000 of a sec will put you back about 500 bucks.
And if you run your cars stock the average cost of a car 1/32
is about the same as a Minichamps diecast. Plus you get to play
with them, Just don't tell any of your friends

Yeah....ummmmm....not so much about the cost Au Rouge. Man-cave already decked out with diecasts and cabinet, all 4 walls covered in framed racing art, home theatre...would halfta hold off until I can find a better spot to put it....and get the Missus to buy into the idea.....until then, I'll live vicariously through you guys!

house were she can keep an eye on you than somewhere else. It was
worth the black eye
