I didn't start it some one, possibly a well respected TNFer, at Private Ear did !
Apologies it wont happen again
A BRM 201 with six wheels that would be a mighty fine thing to see

And more seriously, can anyone other than DCN recommend Doug Nye's BRM books? Do they explain BRM dysfunctionality?

Oh perlease... I would very, very seldom recommend one of my books.

Yes, without question.Possibly off topic: I have never understood the psychology or dynamics of the BRM teams/management. It never comes across in general F1 histories. But it is undeniable that BRM was an unusual series of organisations that could only win races when they acted conservatively. They behaved bizarrely so that they wouldn't win as acts of masochism?

Roy Lane in the March six-wheeler definitely won the first round of the 1979 RAC British Hillclimb Championship at Wiscombe Park on 1st April.
Was I the only one to notice the irony of turning up with a six wheeler to an event on April 1st ......
Oi you lot! First rule of TNF, no mention of football (whatever that is...)
It's ok, they are talking about soccer not football.
I'd take the the sign that DCN has penned a volume as akin to a quality kite mark seal of approval and consider any expense incurred as an even better investment.
So you weren't deNyed 'ey .....

I am going to try John Bolsters books on Specials next....
Nothing to do with 6 wheel BRM's - Around 1974 I wrote to John Bolster asking for information on long life cars which was part of a project I was doing at College. I got this long very detailed letter back giving me intro's to various people, including Porsche in Stuttgart, who then responded with piles of info. Much respect for another master scribe

if you caught John on a good day - as you obviously did - he could be very helpful. Almost as helpful as Don.

Extra driven wheels at Wiscombe on April 1st sounds like a very sensible idea. Much as it would have been for the many later years when the BHC round was the last weekend of April...

Surely some of you recall this old stuff - circa 1967-68 I should think...
