First met Renato as a kid. His dad Angelo was a lovely man. 10 o’clock every morning, he would go to the little cafe next door for his coffee. Renato was a really nice person , made my whole family welcome. Dined at his table on many occasions with his mom and dad and brother Giorgio.
Two greatest tunnel boat racers of all time are Renato Molinari and Bill Seebold. End of.
Happy to say im friends with both of them.

Was a bad day for me, one of the lows in my career. I had watched Shakey Bill disappear beneath the waves , yet here we were racing over the very spot where he went down. We had been friends for years and raced each other forever . My heart just was not in it. Yes, i did have the quickest boat there ‘ did not like wind at all, either me or the boat (less than 16 foot with a 1000 BP TWISTER on windermere , blowing a hooley) These are what i would call “MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES “, GG didnt agree. He took the boat and motor and sacked me on the spot.
Thats when i told him i didnt need either him or his motor, and shove it where the sun dont shine. it did get a little heated . We made it up again, but things were never quite the same until the COSWORTH WAS BORN, then we got back to being as we had been Status Quo was restored .
Told him neither Bob or Percy was as good as me, but he was getting two for the price of one. Fact he had the hots for Gilly P helped decide the issue.
