Still hanging about not doing a lot. 1 guy is clearly wasting g time organising all the bolts in the correct holder in his tool box, another guy is jabbing at the rear looking in ore of the F1 car, 1 geezer is laying on the front sleeping and 2 are chilling chatting away probably talking g about flappy bird being banned haha!! Looks like in '76 they were more social probably making arrangements for their night out down the boozer??

Re: McLaren pit garage nearly 40 years apart
I honestly prefer the 70's to current day.
World or a few people in charge of it have gone mad in recent decades.
I would happily trade everything I have in modern life to go back to a simpler, less stressful and less regulated way of life.

There would be more than booze involved if James Hunt was at the party.
Some of the stories about him are unbelieveable. How he used to drive a car like that is beyond me.

One of the reasons I now live a simpler, less stressful life. Notice I didn't say less regulated as I'm in France, where they like their regulation, but you do get left alone
It is possible, you just need a plan. Plan for when the kids are older or at uni. That's what we did.
I'm a child of the 70s but I can't work out if it was better as I was a child, so it was simpler anyway!

Re: McLaren pit garage nearly 40 years apart
I think I'm going to jump ship when I hit about 60. I walked the dog last night. We have some very nice open space nearby with a river. Sunday's weather meant loads of people came out to enjoy this small snippet of open space and greenery in Birmingham
and leave all their rubbish behind
fly tipping seems to be commonplace
no one seems to have any pride in themselves, what they've got or what they do, say or look like.
I must be getting old.
I really fancy Germany but I've yet to convince Mrs Kwacky

I've never been to Germany. I intend to remedy that over the next few years. I'm always open to places to live. Keeps life interesting. Your a long time dead
