It's my birthday today!

27 long years old!

One brilliant present so far - Driving Ambition (that posh book about the Mclaren F1). Apparently I can get it signed by messrs Gordon Murray and Ron Dennis shortly too!
Well chuffed!

Cheers, (and quite a few beers!)
James

Brilliant book - got it for my birthday this year. How do you get it signed, Gordon Murray no longer works for Mclaren?

Belated happy birthday

Noodle - 29/4/05 at 10:07 AM

I heard Murray has gone 'independant' - any one know what he's doing?

Working on a design for a small car from what I read somewhere - it has been a long term ambition for him.

Many Happy Returns

James - 29/4/05 at 04:18 PM

I'd forgotten about this post.

Thanks for the best wishes everyone!

Had a great day- although failed pretty much miserably to get drunk.

Did get money towards the car atleast!

As the Mclaren book: it's not what you know...

Cheers,
James

Strangly, after my earlier post I got home to find my subscription copy of EVO magazine on the doorstep and it has an interview with Gordon Murray in it, he is definitely working on a very economical small vehicle which only has in common with other cars 4 wheels and a steering wheel. Although it will have a conventional engine the rest of it is very radical.

James, any chance of getting a second set of signatures so I can stick them in my book?
