Was it a charity race or parade laps?

So, having myself now failed in seeing the pics on the AS site you alluded to, I can only conclude from your comments that the aforementioned ex-F1 drivers didn't *kick ass* on their 'demo' laps...
Is that your point?

On the original subject you might find that Herr Berger has put on the odd kilo or three which is why it is a fight tit!

If it takes until post Number ten for the original poster to explain what he is talking about then clearly someone is failing to communicate!
Rexx Havoc, Does it really take that much effort to say "In the photos of the Japanese GP there are pictures of ..." or something like that?

Looks like Twinny has been abducted by Bjorn's Transporter thread!!
... unless that's another derivative of a Morris Isis ... oh, no ... everyone keeps insisting the C-series is NOT a truck engine!

It's not a Beetle, surely? Some old American sedan?
I thought it was quite a nice subtle alternative to his usual one, actually...

You must have blinked and missed the avatar I mentioned ... for a brief time, Twinny had the split front windscreen of some 1930s or 40s commercial vehicle ... probably Morris Commercial .... then switched to the present rear window .. still unidentified, but I'd go with a 30s American of some sort?
In response to DAB's idea about a name change, I think it should become "sticky" and be called "A place to say something about Twinny's Avatar du Jour"

However, I did see the brief dalliance he had with Jacky Ick's blue twin-window Bell after the original one.

In case people are confused, I put up 'Tatra?' and then realised that you would always see the 'spine' and deleted the post. In the meantime David answered.Originally posted by David Beard
and the Tatra rear window, while being split, I think was large and curved...
Sorry

I think it's a '47 Packard or Chrysler rear window...............I won't guess Airflow......cos I don't what it really looked like.
..............about wrecking the English language :
cos = is modern English for "because"
..............I really don't know where us furriners pick the stuff up.

This is the lorry I dallied with for a while;
Then I used the [correctly-identified] Ickx pic, followed by the white/cream saloon which, I believe, is an Austin...
... and looks like this from the front.

And to go back to the question in the first post, Berger never really fitted in any of the McLarens he drove. I recall that his accident in Phoenix in his first race for the team was down to not being able to quickly wind on enough opposite lock.

Am I too wide of the mark to suggest a Swallow-bodied "something" ... ? Don't have the book to hand, but I recall seeing a very similar style in one of the early secitons of Andrew Whyte's classic "Jaguar" book.

That's what I though too, but I couldn't work out which car it was based on. Did Swallow body any Swift cars (I'm thinking that as the mascot looks like a bird), or had Swift gone belly-up by the time Swallow got into their stride?
Failing that - Hillman Aero Minx, methinx.
