Who would you invite to dinner?
 
We would invite, Billy connely, Kevin Macloud, Ray Mears, Mark Eavans, Kevin Spacey and probably a footballist to keep Swmbo happy.

Tom Waits would be a must, Jim Morrison would be great as well but they are the only 2 people i find really interesting!

Although saying that i would like to meet Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak how it felt to be screwed by Bill Gates in the early days of computer developement!

 Princess diana -  to see if she was really that nice

I guess that's due to a 'certain' political/anti-war comment they made a few years ago whilst on tour?

Let's try not to bring politics into it?



Others to add include (alive or dead);
Martin Luther King
Niki Lauda (to hear about his comeback after the 1976? crash at the Nurburgring)
Richard Noble (for his struggles to get the Thrust projects running)
Douglas Bader


And off the forums;
'Lord Shagg-Pyle' (I'm sure he'd be entertaining)
'Drew5292' (those of you who frequent the 'OLLR' & 'landyownersclub' forums will know the name, he'd certainly get the conversation going :lol: )

Richard Noble (for his struggles to get the Thrust projects running)


I got to go to a seminar of his at Middlesborough, about the problems of Thrust SSC and how they are hoping to over come them. Very engineering intense, but also it was a very good insight.

The Q & A at he end was very amusing, especially with the problem of tyres and brakes at such high speeds.

I bet it was, the book that was written afterwards is wonderful.
It goes over all the trials & tribulations that he had right from his first car.
It also deals with the testing done at Pendine Sands , with models on the rocket-powered railway there!!!!!!!
Plus accounts of an overland trip in Africa (in a Landie!)
Forget the title at the moment :oops:

Quote from: "littlepow"

Well, he did turn his first jet car over, when a front wheel-bearing collapsed (or the tyre punctured)
Mm? :? , sounds like someone else we all 'know'


Edit

Quite a simple title really, how could I forget that??? :oops:  :oops:
Especially as there's a copy downstairs in my 'snug'

http://www.richard-noble.com/ (book is linked on the home page)

Try & get it from your local Library, it's well worth the read! (a BTM recommendation)

Edit. 2
The Amazon link gives an independant synopsis & the ISBN, if you want order via the Library system

On a sporting basis (for me anyway)

Lance Armstrong; For his amazing Cancer come-back & 7 Tour de France victories)

Eddy Merckx; Nicknamed the 'Cannibal', & a close friend of Armstrongs

Robert Miller; Scottish rider, who excelled when the going got steep

Stephen Roche; (Giro d'Italia, Tour de France & World Road-Race Champion winner, all in 1987)

Beryl Burton; Multiple World Champion & still the only woman to have beaten mens competition records - & that stands for any other sport too, as far I know (deceased)

Tim Gould; First British mountain-biker to beat the Americans at their own game
