Hi Stephen,

Well, well that's interesting what a coincidence! We've had a great Summer thus far packed with motoring events as Goodwood, Silverstone and Beaulieu coming up in September with Goodwood Revival too! Also looking fwd to the Salon Prive and St. James's classics. We're off to the Isle of Wight classic car show and stopping off in Portsmouth to see the (new) Mary Rose exhibition...can report back on these events for your readers interest.

Thanks Stephen,

My favored vintage race has to be Coronado in September. May be, just may be My son will drive my 57 Alfa next year. He was a race instructor in Las Vegas for many years. Has raced everything from my car to F2000, FF, Int'l sedans to Damon Hill's F1 car plus all kinds of exotic cars. His first race when he was 15 (didn't have his driver license yet). Anyway we are a racing family.  My grand son, 14, races a GoKart and is winning.

Great to connect!

Thanks for the warm welcome Stephen. I look forward to following VRL.

Sorry Stephen for the miss understanding. I wish to own the Mustang from the movie Bullit. There were two cars used in the making of the movie. Glenn

A NICE SURPRISE.  YOUR KINDNESS TO THIS OLD RACER IS APPRECIATED. WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU AT THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL THIS SEPTEMBER.  DROP BY THE MERCEDES FACTORY PADDOCK . I''M THE ONE IN THE FERRARI JUMP SUIT. THE OLD POOP SPORTING A GOATEE.    CIAO 

Hi Stephen,

Just sent you an email....

Robin 

Thank you Stephen for the warm welcome. I was on a few other group sites before coming here and found you all on Google. What an amazing site, you all are so much more user friendly and the site is so easy to get around!! Given all the rich content on the site I can see this will take me some time to learn my way. 

I had a racing colleague of mine recommend you all to me saying it was the best racing website out there and I needed to join. Well done.

All the best.

Jeff

Good day Stephen!
You're my first contact with VRL, It looks like there's lots do discover here. Where are you? I'm on the coast of calif. not too far from Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow race
courses. I'm less interested in racing than playing with the cars, maybe if I spent time racing, I'd find it more interesting, driving old non competitive cars against cars that have had hundreds of thousands dumped into them isn't very rewarding, VINTAGE racing initially was supposed to be a means of excersising our crocks, not less expensive SCCA racing.
I think the mindset is different in the UK with many still enjoying olde cars as a hobby, not an investment. Perhaps that's what this site is about.
How's that for starting RANT,
Cheers

I cannot post a photo to my page.  It is a small jpg.  Something wrong with your settings. This is why you see everyone using the same photo of the red turner. Thx,  Bill

Thank you for welcoming me.

Hope to get in contact with others restoring Lola mk1 - espessially

chuck  who I believe is restoring the spara chassis from the crash in 1962

That does me no good because the site software will always change what I enter.

Stephen, 

Stephen,

thanks for welcoming me and your kind offer of help.

Great website!

Pete

Thanks for the welcome!

I was interested that you included the tirade from Jeremy Clarkson about F1 and Rallying! As a former fan I now regard him as loathsome! He organised a "comparative test" of (iirc) a Maserati Merak, a Ferrari GT4 and a Lamborghini Urraco P250. They drove them literally to destruction (e.g. engine parts appearing through the exhaust system after knowing the engine oil was very low) for the enjoyment of barbarians - it was a complete disgrace and I have never watched Clarkson since (and that was around 10 years ago). I am glad he has gone, hopefully for good! Andy Owler

Thank you for the welcome Stephen, its great to be here!

Hi Stephen, 

Many thanks for that.  I believe this is an old email, as HSR West was sold to SVRA back in 2012 but will give a try.  

Scott

Thanks for the friend request and acceptance...Jack

Hello Stephen

I would like to reach Chris Kellner it is our 50 year class reunion Sep 22.

Thanks Mike

Hey Steve, I was re-reading your welcoming comment of 2008, when I was looking for a Lotus 51/61. In about 2 weeks I will finish up the 2018 season with my new RRS (JPS) liveried 61mx3. We won the SCCA CFR Championship for CF class and are about to win the Florida Cup at PBIR. It's been a great two years (first one in Vintage) getting here. Regards, Dennis

Nope the 51 search is over. I can barely afford the money this one bleeds out of me. :)

Hi Stephen,

I got what looks like a Phishing contact today in Comments:

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakhalil5888@gmail.com ) for the full details.

Have a nice day
Thanks God bless.
Stella.

This is the profile: http://www.thevrl.com/profile/MarlisAhmed

Looks fake to me...you may want to dispose of this person in the group.

Thanks,

Brad

thank you Stephen,

I just signed up

Christof

Thanks for your kind comments Stephen!

Best regards,

Chris.

Hi Stephen - yes, sure, a Fujimi 1/24. And at some point I'll do a Model Factory Hiro 1/12. TIME is the main issue!

Thanks Stephen. I'm very happy I found your organization. Options for old gearheads to enjoy a deeper dive is very welcome.

All the best,

Bobby (Have to change my profile name. Been bobby all my life)

Happy to be here!

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks for having me. 

Got another one. Do these people take us for suckers?           "Good Day,

Hi Stephen,

I have just joined and see you have had some fun with racing.

I am similar and raced many types of cars over my life.

I am now retired at 83 years of age, but still interested.

Keep in touch,

David

thanks!
