Miscellany

[Jim Mountain]

How do I get on the front cover of Miscellany ?,

I'm sulking cos my dad got there before me

Serouisley Great pic Jonathan,

my dads well chuffed with himself

[Leigh Sebba]

If you hadn't told us we may have thought it WAS you. Yes great picture - I couldn't think where it was when I first saw it. When John and I took his pre war 4-4 to Porto among all the ferraris, cobras, etc we were on front page of local newspaper - perhaps cos we went slow enough for the cameras !

I suppose, to answer your question, perhaps bribe the editor ?
Or pose in a Beckham style pose with your car ?

[Charles Neal]

Sorry Jim, I also thought it was you - that's why I put the one of your dad in the article. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll feature soon!

[Leigh Sebba]

When he’s as old as his father (or me) perhaps he too will get his pic on Miscellany

[Mary Lindsay]

Leigh, I thought you were hoping for a centre-fold spot...........

[jack bellinger]

Leigh ..or even page 3

love jack

[Mary Lindsay]

Something like this?

[Leigh Sebba]

Mr moderator - please !! And sometime I will (brag brag) show you the photo of me somewhat undressed watching Monaco practice this year from the roof of Fairmont hotel - having just jumped out of roof top swimming pool as I heard the cars coming

[Mary Lindsay]

Leigh, the mind boggles as to your state of undress and you should know by now that bragging cuts no ice at the back of the grid

[Leigh Sebba]

Jim - in the light of the latest Sep Miscellany perhaps you've picked up some more tips

1 Wear large white overalls with a belt somewhat high up your back
2 Or wear white overalls and look like a worried professor

and, of course,

3 Use a top world class (very modest) photographer

I think the photo really needs a caption competition

eg
Brian - yes Richard that is the clutch and when you lift your foot you will squash John

[Jim Mountain]

Something along the lines of,

"Simon Cowell trades X Factor for Le Mans"

Very good pic, now if you could get one of me, and send it to Charles I would be ever so greatful.

[Jim Mountain]

P.S. sorry John
