I love that clip of proper ROAD racing.  Where I would love to have done some of that in Italy I'm grateful I had one go at it on the Isle of Man.  I thought it was the start of something, as it turned out it was the end.

Here's the text from Viva Lancia.  They gave me whatever 'article of the year' is called for it.  Perhaps ALL those winning articles should be on the web page?

I never got round to adding the photos to that website.  Back then prints went to Jack in an envelope and were posted back again when he'd used them.

One day...
