Meant to post a few days ago. What a fantastic read, thank you neil and all the contributors. Obviously I wouldn't dream of spoiling it for any humbug readers (January 2nd cannot come quick enough for me!!) Intrigued to get more information on Scota even after having been lucky enought for Les Suckling to put us up for a weekend after visiting Wimbledon. Well done Neil

Well my copy arrived today (Excellent service Neil, thank you) Just flicking through it is going to be a fantastic read and so many superb photos too. Would have liked to get started on it straightaway but the gaffer has put her foot down and got me on card writing duties! I know my place!!

Roy, thank so much for this detailed explanation of the Keld/Gunnerside area. We've done several walks in this area and I now have a much better idea of what happened, time to wipe the dust of the boots and get back up there!

Thanks Roy , for all your hard work over the last 8 Months
I'll second that motion. I appreciate Roy also taking the time to write a little narrative to go with his photos which is very helpful for non-attendees to relate to when reading meeting reports. Thanks Roy.

Even though I'm a Chisholm and Guinchard fan, I look forward to reading my copy which arrived today. The man was a legend who made everyone either boo or cheer and I'm grateful to have been around during his and stock car racing's golden era

Thanks again for all the help chaps. Seriously tempted to get the Panasonic, might wait until after New Year as she who must be obeyed can get an extra 10% off at Tesco.

Thanks very much for the feedback guys. Much appreciated indeed. Just for info for others who may be pondering too, a friend subscribes to Which and they recomend the Panasonic DMRES 10EB as a useful basic model.

Having bought a few stox Dvds this year (thanks Waz, Chris29 and Les60) I want to buy a Dvd player/recorder to finally replace the video recorder and to watch these Dvds on the tele as opposed to the computer.
I just wondered if someone could offer any advice/recomendations as what to buy as all the jargon regarding disc types etc confuse me slightly.
Thanks for any help.

I would really recommend folks to get this Dvd. Sent a cheque of to V8 132 on Tuesday and received my copy this morning.
Considering the amount of footage on disc, tremendous value

As before, excellent service from Les. Paid by Paypal yesterday morning and the postie has just delivered the Dvd this morning.
Thanks Les

LOL sorry 258guinchy didn't mean to rub it in, just wet the appetite!
Hope you watch yours soon!
I watched it on my DVD player, didn't think to watch it on the pc but now Ive got an excuse to watch it all over again!
None taken Baz, still embarrased by my stupidity in not having the correct software loaded.
Anyhow, as you say, the footage of 1, 53 & 199 is worth the money alone, Belle Vue racing at its best. Anyone who hasn't bought a copy yet, get your £6 off to Les and watch some classic racing.

Thanks to everyone for trying to help me, I feel such a *******!!
I'd had PC problems before and had forgotten to re-load the Dell software to play DVDs
.My humble apologies and thanks to Les for the PM and sending out the disc so quickly. I'll slink off into the corner with my dunces hat on!!

The 1000 racewas good, how close where Lund and Close to the fence on the bends at full speed and then the hits started, how they held there cars out of the fence I dont know!
Both of Les's DVD's are great, well worth the few pennys hes asking.
Why oh why wasnt I born a couple of decades earlier!
No need to rub it in Baz, hit a man when he is down which player did you use please!!!

Thanks for the advice and quick reply. Must be something wrong with my PC setup, I downloaded Winamp and that wouldn't play the CD either.
It is damn annoying to watch so much of a race then it freezes up, won't even autoplay with Windows Media, Real Player or Quicktime.
I was really looking forward to the Belle Vue 1000 race people have raved about too.
Wonder what Les advises or recommends by any chance too?

I'm having problems viewing all the races on this disc. Which player should I be using anyone please? I have to force it through Real Player and can see so much of the races and then it locks up.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

- can't wait for my dad to view it, but he still tell's me the 60's / 70's was best.'
Totally agree with these comments. Great value for money, thanks very much indeed.
