Running Damon Hill off the road to ensure he got no points in Adelaide etc etc
then tried the same thing with Villeneuve but failed
We watched in his career some of the worst crimes ever in a sportsman

Sir Jackie, what is the deal for Tavares this year? I admit I haven't followed this thread on a daily basis, just haven't had the opportunity daily to follow your eventful life. nobody is responding over on the history thread. is there a golf outing this year? Bill and Betty's excellent evening? I'm committed to the club and will be there to volunteer as I want to see this continue and hopefully can be "THAT GUY" that actually knew all you "OLD FARTS" when I'm your age. ;) seriously, somebody's got to carry the torch. :cool: fun out
She was quite the grandmother, Betty Cook had nothing on Fiona...http://www.classicoffshore.com/blog/.../05/GRANNY.jpg
26' Skean Dhu, record holder at 103+ MPH, in 1980 w/twin stock, blue-stripe 225 Merc V-6's...And a first for a woman...http://www.lornecampbelldesign.com/i...e-SkeanDhu.jpg...and at 62 years of age.
She was a wonderful lady, member of the LMBRC at IVER.
Ran a bunch of Lorne Campbell design boats if I remember.
Even sought MY advice in the early days !
Came to my shop in Southwater on a number of occasions
Was much loved and admired by all who met her.
Mercury loved to have her use their motors
I remember her in Paris in '66. Could not have told you where she finished.
Sopwith and Shead ran a Jim Wynne design that wouldn't turn worth a damn, would have done well if they didn't park it up the wall on the top turn, ran the sloppy water better than any boat there
Just didn't click the first time of asking F , I thought was Alberto Fioretta from Casale Montferato a very great gentleman racer!
Very true Pilgrim, but no other driver would have had the presence of mind to throw his already dead car at the only other driver who could take the title!Quote:

The young bucks of today are even better than he was!
End of the day Ferarri wanted a winner, not a nice guy, no doubt about it, love him or hate him, he delivered, he WAS a winner!
No other driver would throw a dead car at another compeditor knowing he would get away with it
Everybody else would be thinking i might get lifetime ban from such a dangerous stunt.
