Thanks Adam, it must be something to do with this car being invisible, even the marshals were not giving the blue lights to drivers as I approached them. In another session a car blew up on the straight ahead of me or something blew spraying fluid and steam from the nearside front, I backed off and put my hazards on to warn of fluid on the circuit to cars behind but the marshals missed it, no flags or lights and the drivers behind flew past me so I left them all to it and pitted for a break that lap as my brakes were at the floor by then anyway. I will make a short compilation vid of that incident and a few others from the day. I will check the brakes mechanically first to make sure it is not something else but suspect it is the fluid and upgrade to something more heat resistant They're not used to a big old barge like that going so fast or handling so well - probably have forgotten that the old Vitesses were Police pursuit vehicles back in the day!Keep up the good work.

So, last time you saw this was 2012 I believe! ![](http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx152/rebel2cv/Claude/484608AC-07EA-4E1B-B90E-98D5F2832496_zpsmqk0oezf.jpg) I wouldn't have had the roof of the Britten Centre car park as photogenic but hey...... Nice van. I'm sure I have seen it about.

GDL..... Isle of Wight registered originally. Hmmm, I wonder if the resident Marina nutters know it still exists?

Are you still mucking about with the Yellow Peril then? I thought you'd given up because of all the aggro with it....

Normal equation these days; Young woman + phone + large car = CRUNCH (at some point). That looks in very good overall nick, mate.

Ahhhhhhh.... the joys of Dutton chassis construction, or lack of. Brought back some 'interesting' memories!

Indeed it is the amperage that does the damage. When I was in the packaging industry, we had recycle bins that recieved chopped up plastic - in dry weather they'd give you a less than little zap when you passed them, especially if the dope of a machine op had removed the earth strap. I measured a particularly vicious one - it had a static charge of 8-10,000V on it......

The 'old' Top Gear had become "Three Smug W*****s D*****g About" and REALLY needed to change. I will stick by my thoughts that they were offered silly money to join an almost unheard of 'TV' channel to boost its ratings and had the spat to break contracts cleanly. Those who enjoy "TSWDA" can shove off to Amazing (or whatever its called); from my point of view, I hope they sink with very small bubbles....

Thanks for sharing! What´s wrong with this one? Did they all look like the tail gate was too big to fit? ![](http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c72/jackchevelle/Flixton%202016/044_zpsfffitsjy.jpg) Nothing wrong with that. All Marina/Ital talgates were like that.

It sounds suspiciously like someone from the DfT has been to the Phillipines to train the local government in being bloody confusing and useless! And as for contracts...... We had a passenger vehicle yesterday that was released from having some mods done and put immediately into a set ready for use, only to have the driver fail it because "some panels were missing". Yup, two panels about 3' x 2' covering the new poo tank were completely missing; not just that, they hadn't even been fitted! But, after much squabbling and arguing it turned out that bit wasn't in the contract for the contractors to fit......FFS!!!!! They were fitted today by two p*ss*d off contractors who were looking forward to a weekend at home...

I was seriously tempted by that when it cropped up on Car & Classic... being ex-BR myself I nearly bought it but I had a wedding to shell out for and a stressed wife; which is a BAD combination when you mention "Look what I've seen dear...."
Still wouldn't mind a Maestro van to replicate a BR van with - I need a cr@p hauler/ parts chaser anyway (an Ital or Marina would be better though....)

So there you go. Two, who virtually anywhere else in the world would be in gaol, one with dubious nationality, one who could drop dead any moment and a total incompetent. Who will be the people's choice. Watch this space! Sounds like any normal election.... are you talking about the Phillipines or USA??
