The Bluebird Project

There are some photos here http://kentphotoarchive.com/kpa/warpeace/thumblarge.php?keywordname=MAIDSTONE&selection=2&category_id=0&startnumber=136&pagenumber=7 of Bluebird on display in a garage in Maidstone, Kent in 1958, so I guess it was 'on the road' around about the time you men...

Probably old hat but I took these photos of Sir Malcolm/Donald's Bentley last year at the Lakeland Motor Museum...





Not the original colour of course!

It is comforting to note that ' The abandoned chair reported at Coniston Primary School in last month’s minutes has been removed '. Some councils would sit on such things for an eternity...

...superb! Whilst I Imagine Bill is not one to wallow in 'self-regarding nonsense', ii must be said his diary makes for a fantastic read. Witty, infotmative and enough technical detail to satiate the techno thirst of even the most anal of hands-on spannersmen. The entirety to date would make for a f...

Thank you all for your input on this thread. It seems 'infinity' itself, being a recognised mathematical symbol, can be used with impunity - but combined with 'K7' treads on corporate toes?

Considering the amount of interest and TV/press coverage of 4/1/67 and the emergence of personal cine cameras around that time - how come there is so little footage available of that fateful last run? I have only ever seen the 'classic' B&W footage which seems incredible for a World Record attem...

Doctor: "I'm afraid you are going to have to stop masturbating"

Patient: "Why?"

Doctor: "Because I'm trying to examine you"






I'm here all week..............

Apologies if I have missed this on another thread or the diary - but will K7 be finished in original paint or will it have to be 'as near as damn it'? I would imagine that the original K7 blue paint was a one-off blend and that the original supplier has gone the way of loose-leaf tea and Tony Curtis...
