Just wondering,as there are so many people using the site now and seeing so many PH'ers at Le Mans if we should start looking at Ted as some evangelical person or deity?

all kneel and worship!! :bow:

Pah!
Ted doesn't exist, he is just a myth and legend drawn on our collective need for authority, and a harking back to the days of the legendary "forestarr" of the past.

Drive your own destinies!

Ooo! I like that! A Pistontologist.

But what could our commandments be?

1. Thou must love the smell of petrol.
2. Thou must love cars.
etc.

We could all become "New Rasta-PH-arians"



Do you know. In a recent survey of African leaders, one was Haile Selassie, six were Fairly Selassie, and 15 weren't so lassie at all.....

Is Ted a cult?

No, I'm sure he's quite a nice bloke really. Oh, a cult...

Saint Tedrick of Blackpool,invites the congregation & those who feel a bhp is missing from their lives to attend.

Sermon on the mount to be held at Goodwood sacred festival of speed.

May your tank floweth over & your progress swift & sure.
Worship at the altar(nator) of speedmatterz.

Maybe if we register pistonheadonism as a religion, we can prevent the govt from persecuting us on religious grounds.

With a community of over 40,000 it may make it harder for them to persecute us.

Don't think he ever intended to be, although if any members wish to bestow on him a couple of £million towards his costs of carrying out his good works, I'm sure he'd accept.

Ted - A person whose occupation is designing, developing, marketing, and maintaining websites.

Cult - A people, by modern western standards living in dire poverty sittting uneasily against the opulence and splendour of their places of worship.
The cult has enormous amounts of money, vast land holdings and massive influence while the faithful have - only TVR's.

If we do become a recognised religion, does that mean that we get to invent our own religious holidays?

I vote for two weeks off around Le Mans weekend (week 1 - spiritual and mechanical preparation; week 2 - mechanical and bodily recovery).
