I'm green with envy for that drive!

Have a beer!

I am hoping to do a charity bash either end of this year or early next which culminates in my squirting an F I around a track for 15 laps or so. Last gasp for an old fart! Obviously it's an old one with a cooking DFV but will still have mucho grunt!

Peter Warr! Boy, that's one from the past.

Really? what F1 ? Your initials wouldn't be DB would they per chance?? So many questions. I currently write and present a motorsport DVD, wouldn't mind filming your F1 run?

Well I've decided to buy a guitar and get a kit for a winter project. I've bought an Ibanez GSA60 and 15watt amp and am very pleased with it. I need to limit my practices though because my fingers are sore. I've never used an electric tuner before, but what a revelation. No doubt I'll get my 'ear' back after a bit of playing................... Male Entertainer 14 

 

 

 

Steve, if you don't mind could you please reduce the size of your photo. Its causing a long sideways scrolling on this thread.

That's good news, BB.

The Ibanez is a nice box: very good flexible sound and good action.

Electronic tuners are neat! I use one in my Zoom effects box. Tuning forks and pitch pipes are now old hat!

Tip: dip your finger tips in surgical spirit each night. Hardens the skin and helps develop the "pads" on the tips you need.

Hope it goes well.

Gobsmacked, we've just been round to some friends for a BBQ. The subject of guitars came up in conversation and he quietly went into the bedroom and came out with an immaculate Fender Strat and Roland amp and started to play unbelieveable music. I had no idea that he had been playing since the age of seventeen (now 60) and was totally amazing to watch.

I feel very humble........................................................Smile [:)]

BB , Picture? I 'd reduce the size if I knew how, so I'll delete it, I can do that!!

It's weird isn't it? I have worked with the producer of the Motorsport DVDs for 9 years, met him covering F1, and last week I found out he has a Strat and a 1962 Tele!!

Zoon fx boxes are brilliant, I got my son a Zoom GFX707, has a built in tuner, drum machine, can record yourself doing loops and play along, and 100s of effects. If only I were up to using them all!
